Hind Copper Refining the Operations

Hindustan Copper Ltd (HCL), Kolkata-headquartered countrys only integrated copper producer, is entirely transforming its operational metrics, particularly in the eastern region. HCL has adopted a new business model that is geared towards complete outsourced mining operation as well as part outsourcing smelting and refining activity. The outsourcing of mining operation in one of its closed mines in Jharkhand at Surda has been the main plank of the initial rollout of the transformation plan so far. This was buttressed by continuation of the suspension of the Khetri refining capacity in Rajasthan during the current fiscal and the running of the smelter and refiner at Moubhandar in Jharkhand. MULTI-DIMENSIONAL INITIATIVES Now, its major expansion drive in Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand will also witness multi-dimensional initiatives. Hindustan Copper is in the process of reopening all of its closed mines in the Singbhum copper belt. Rakha, and Kendadih through outsourced contract mining. It will also begin fresh mining operation Chapri-Sidhwar virgin blocks in the belt with reserves of 41.6 million tonnes. The company proposes to reopen Rakha mine, where mining was suspended in 2001, having estimated deposit of 48.41 million tonnes in two blocks Rakha NW and Tamrapahar. Kendadih mine has 9.27 million tonne reserves. All theses mines require dewatering, reequipping the mine entries, fresh mine development, stopping operations and deepening of shaft to produce ore. Further, Surda, at present the only operational mine in this belt and being run by an Australian company, India Resources will see expansion of its activity. As its current underground mining contract will expire in 2014, Hindustan Copper will open a new contract for outsourcing, under Surda II project, at lower depths to tap its remaining deposits. As on September 2010, it has about 14.66 million tonnes of reserves. The company has already invited request for qualification from contractors for eventual selection in two stage bidding process for all the Singhbhum projects. MADHYA PRADESH PROJECT The Malanjkhand project in Madhya Pradesh is also poised for complete metamorphosis from an open cast mine to underground mine and from the company operated operation to outsourced operation. The most ambitious transformational project of the company will take five to seven years. December 2010: Entering 50th Year of Publications 6 This project for raising production from 2 million tonnes a year to 5 million tonnes is the key to its combined domestic ore production increase strategy from the current 3.21 million tonnes a year to 12.41 million tonnes by the end of fiscal 2017. The proposed phase-I Malajkhand expansion project, which is intended to be partially financed by the follow-on public offer proceeds of around Rs 2,000 crore, has been appraised by ICRA Management Consulting Services Ltd. The Planning Commission in September has granted its in-principle approval for the project. The company expects that its reserves at Malanjkhand to last for 30 years. In contrast to the HCLs changeover in the East, mining, refining and copper making operations in the western sector Rajasthan and Maharashtra will be less dramatic in the near future. MINING EXPANSION Hindustan Copperis planning expansion of mining capacity in Rajasthan. The company has envisioned expansion of mining capacity in the existing operations at Khetri and Kolihan in Rajasthan. However, the operations in these two mines will not be outsourced, according to Mr Shakeel Ahmed, Chairman and Managing Director. The new mine exploration and future operation activities in Rajasthan at Banwas and Baniwali-ki-Dhani, however, has been planned to be outsourced. The Khetri smelting and refining unit in Rajasthan is now not in operation for economic reason low treatment and refining charges. The company this year is getting 50 per cent of refining done from Hindalco. The Khetri unit may be brought back into operation if the global copper market dynamics change. Currently, the metal in concentrate, which is produced at the mine level from the raw ore, is in short supply internationally and locally. It is fetching extraordinary premium. The prevailing smelting and refining changes, on the contrary, are not economically viable for the company. This is why it is not utilising the smelting and refining capacity at Khetri and stressing more on increasing ore production as well as expansion of mining. It is projected that the global copper price cycle is likely to be steady in the next decade. The current transformation of Hindustan Copper essentially tracks that path. The companys high average age of the workforce at 51 has helped the management go in for the transition.

Integrated Concept of Effective Mine Planning Using Ore Body Modeling

A.S.Chachane* Dr.R.R.Yerpude** Effective mine planning for exploitation of mineral deposits depends to a large extent on the accurate modeling of the ore bodies and over all estimation of the deposit. The application of Ore Body Modeling (OBM) technique is unique in nature as it provides an approach to bridge the gaps arisen due to current macro level challenges in respect of conventional mine planning without application of computerized ore body modeling technique. The OBM tool not only helps to develop an Integrated Mine Operations Solutions for effective mine planning but also facilitate production execution and integration of different modules like Solid Block Model, Digital Terrain Model, Bore Hole Extent Model, Block Models, Bore Hole Inventory, Grade and Quality Assessment, Production Management, Rock Mechanics Modeling, Environment Planning, and Cost Management Functionality. This scientific approach will certainly supports for effective open cast mining operations in many folds like geological interpretation, assaying, selective mining, setting of mineral boundaries and adoption of appropriate technology for cost effective mine planning. This will also provide various alternatives so that optimal plan can be selected which will not only give more production but also reduces the mining losses. In this paper, application of ore body modeling tools such as solid block model, sectional block model, digital terrain model, bore hole extent model and wire frame concepts have been discussed. The string notion with integration of various concepts of ore body modeling within the framework of the SURPAC mining software has been explained. Further the string concept has been used to model the limestone deposit in a case study. The integration of standard exploration data consisting of litho-logical, survey and assay information to obtain accurate ore body model has been demonstrated and further utilized for the generation of alternative effective mine plans. An interactive visualization system is used by the author with actual application of SURPAC and is presented for importing, filtering and visualizing of data in respect of a limestone deposit. INTRODUCTION Many Researchers claimed that traditional/conventional mine planning by Computer Aided Drafting/Design (CAD) technique has not been a positive experience, and the resulting mine plans are considered to be over-simplified. This situation has come about largely because the field data when given to an independent CAD specialist who does not have an adequate appreciation of the deposit, results into subtle yet critical observations such as terrain, level of exposure, quality of outcrop, stratigraphic relationships and structural complexity which have often not been incorporated into the geological map developed with CAD. When these omissions are combined with changes in scale, and or projection, the inaccuracies are compounded and the resulting map does not meet the requirements of the effective mine planning (Johnstone, W.P. 2003). On the other hand, mining is essentially a capital-intensive industry where success requires optimum utilization of resources in terms of manpower, materials, finance and equipments and in view of the large investment in procuring land, plant and machinery, property, the primary

ABSTRACT
concern of any top management would be to ensure adequate control over all available assets, effective utilization of available resources, impact on finances, condition monitoring/restoration of assets, ensuring maximum rate of return across the mining value chain and reduction in cost aspects. The optimal utilization of earths natural resources has also become the need of the day as the conservation of minerals is on the prime agenda due to fear of depletion of mineral resources which is only possible by effective mine planning. While considering the aspects of effective mine planning, the most important characteristic of the mine planning process is that, it is an iterative process with potential improvement from each iteration. The planning process as depicted in figure:1 is a generic representation applicable to most mining operations (Swanepoel Werner; 2003). This resource to reserve engineering is the core function of the mineral resource management process. It should be conducted according to a mapped out or sequential process and according to set protocols and standards. Each mine planner must be aware of exactly what outputs are required to proceed to the next phase.
Figure: 1 Generic representation of the mine planning process (After Swanepoel Werner, 2003) Thus, the mine planning and mineral resource management is an integration of key functions in the mining process. A focus on proper resource utilization plays a key role in the management process and leads to the question whether lower operating costs always add value in long term. Therefore, accurate estimation of mineral reserves and adoption of appropriate mining methods of exploitation are essential for effective mine planning and also to improve the percentage of mineral extraction. But it is difficult to get the clear idea about the size, shape, configuration and grade distribution of the deposits at initial stage of mine planning. Due to this anisotropy, mine planner has to face various difficulties in mine planning at the initial phase. Besides, the current macro level challenges in respect of conventional mine planning without application of computerized ore body modeling technique. (OBM) includes difficulty in financial integration during the initial phase of the project, erroneous life of mine, deficient production scheduling to align with effective mine planning, constraint based mine operations, lack of modeling, the production execution and lack of operations reporting and optimization. The above challenges lead to a lower NPV on the enterprise solutions investment and a less than expected impact to the business. Inaccurate estimation of ore reserves and determination of optimum grade of mineral deposits in an unbiased manner with a reliable, realistic and affordable degree of precision is another most frequently arising difficult problem for the mine planners. To overcome these difficulties during the planning stage itself, it is necessary to adopt modern integrated concept of effective mine planning so that the adopted mine planning process converts resources into economically mineable reserves focusing on value addition and risk reduction. The computer aided ore body modeling tool can play a vital role in overcoming above challenges by using integrated modern mine planning software. December 2010: Entering 50th Year of Publications 8
The computer assisted generation of three dimensional ore body models to represent the geometry of, and grade distribution within, ore bodies is a rapidly growing area for effective mine planning. Such models are increasingly used as a necessary starting point in determining the mineability of mineral deposits in terms of practical mine design and economic considerations. The transition from traditional techniques field mapping and the manual calculation of grade and tonnage estimates, as well as related activities such as the interpolation of cross-sections, the use of stereographic projections, core logging and hand contouring, to computerized applications, is by no means complete. The development of 3D ore body models facilitates the provision of resource information well in advance of the mining face. Using the model, one can evaluate mining areas not only for grade and tonnage predictions but also for predictions of rock mass quality, blast design and milling requirements. This information can be used for overall effective mine planning and evaluation, costing, production optimization, grade control and slope design etc. This allows the full range of mining activities and costs to be interconnected, thereby lowering costs and improving efficiencies through the application of the model. It is indeed necessary for effective mine planning that feasibility studies requires an expected budget expenditure estimate to within 5% of actual costs. This level of accuracy is expected by mining companies and investors but cannot be achieved without a sound knowledge of the deposit and grade variability. By developing a 3D Ore Body Model as part of the feasibility study at the initial phase of planning and using the same model with exploration boreholes, a significantly better understanding of the deposit and rock mass conditions can be obtained. This information can be used for equipment selection, economic pit layouts, processing plant design, grade control, mining layouts and ancillary requirements etc. The Ore Body Model has gained international acceptance as an invaluable tool for a mining operation. Certainly most financial organizations will not invest in a mining project that does not have an ore body model. There is the potential for adopting OBM as vital tools in the mining process. This integrated modeling technique of mine planning and design has been adopted successfully worldwide in mineral industry. But in India only computerized mineral inventory system is available which is considered as the model. Therefore, it is necessary to understand real concept of orebody modeling which is important for effective mine planning. Once the modeling is done, the planning alternatives can be proposed and then optimal plan can be selected which gives more production with less losses. It is also possible by the model to answer the several types The Indian Mining & Engineering Journal
of questions that may arise in mine planning and helps in decision making. The purpose of this paper is to assess current thinking on this topic by considering an overview of advances in the effective mine planning, theoretical basis for ore body modeling, the case for combining conventional and integrated approach of OBM tool and the benefits to the mining value chain. MACRO CHALLENGES IN CONVENTIONAL MINE PLANNING Conventional system of mine planning does not meet the needs of effective mining operations and have a more direct consequence on the estimation of the size (tonnage) and grade of an ore deposit. This is a common problem currently being debated among mine planners in the mining industry. The challenges which the mining industry faces at the initial phase of mine planning are listed below and there is a need to overcome these challenges so as to make the planning more cost effective and also to reduce the mining losses. 1. Effective and Economic Resource Modeling This can prove to be a challenge because at early stages of a mine planning, the ore body has to be fully analyzed to assess its economic potential. This is done through exploration; drilling and geological survey followed by analysis of ore samples. Using geotechnical and geo-statistical analysis, a block model of the ore body can be derived. Each block has certain characteristics like ore grade, rock type, and geological zone and other such characteristics. This is merged into a single data set for future mine planning activities if OBM tool is used. 2. Accurate Life of Mine (LOM) Planning - The LOM plan includes the period starting from the extraction of ore in first block till the extraction of ore in the final block. However, the LOM works on the premise of positive Net Present Value (NPV). The LOM plan typically delivers pit designs (scenarios), which allow planners to decide which of the blocks of the Mineral Resource Inventory (MRI) will be mined (pay blocks) and in which sequence with proper selection of bench height parameters. For these scenarios, a Net Present Value (NPV) needs to be calculated based on the estimation of the tonnage mined, final product recovery figures, and production costs as well as sales and marketing information such as price, demand and risk parameters. This exercise is difficult in case of conventional mine planning. 3. Optimum Detailed Production Scheduling (ODPS) - For many mining companies, ODPS is often a critical December 2010: Entering 50th Year of Publications 9

and difficult area and requires to look for short-term optimization to achieve low production cost and high asset utilization while minimizing Run of Mine (ROM) stockpile inventories. It needs to adopt scientific approach for selection of rate of production. The ODPS plan can be set by mine planners typically weekly or monthly basis using OBM tool. Efficient Production Execution - Detailed production information i.e. tonnes mined per block, quality characteristics, consumables used (examples: diesel, drill bits, explosives), hours worked by mine operators or contractors, distance hauled by truck, actual production data update, material management and product cost information is typically recorded by each shift which leads to time consuming. Data collected manually by production operators may have to be verified or consolidated. The OBM tool can solve all these problems and can able to create integrated data base. Optimum Human Capital Management (OHCM)Retaining and managing skilled workforce in the mining industry poses challenges due to competitive needs from other allied industries. It should be linked with the future scenario of mining and profit oriented mining operations. Mining Value chain Integration- The mining industry today lacks a comprehensive enterprise solution that integrates the entire value chain from Planning, Scheduling, Operations and Processing to Sales. This hinders strategic planning and decision making inaccuracy in management reporting. Integration of standard exploration dataHeterogeneous characteristics of the initial geological information. difficulty in handling, processing, analyzing huge borehole data to draw inferences about grade, its distribution and reserves recovery of minerals, difficulty in assaying when the several types of mineralized zones are present in the deposits, which requires geological interpretation and modeling of the ore body. Errors in estimating the reserves & lack of conceptual short-term and long-term planning Inaccuracies in estimation of mineral deposits and absence of optimal mining methods.
CONCEPT OF EFFECTIVE MINE PLANNING SYSTEM (EMPS) In order to maximize the economic benefits of mining operations, the application of ore body modeling technique is the fundamental requirement for effective mine planning The logical way to develop a conceptual model of an ore body is to first identify the basic objectives behind the mission of mine management, the activities or decision The Indian Mining & Engineering Journal
making processes directed towards them, the agencies involved and the types of information and database needed to support these activities so that the cost effective mine planning and the planning alternatives can be decided for projected prospects and growth of mining industry and to fulfill the qualitative and quantitative needs of the industry. A fundamental principle of effective mine planning is to represent the actual or visible geology as accurately as possible with the help of Ore Body Model (OBM). The model has to be built using accurate spatial information whether the data represent mapped contact positions, structural measurements, drillhole intersects, topocadastral survey stations, geophysical measurements etc. The key is to reduce uncertainty by applying as much geological input during the creation of a model, and to develop tools to validate and quantify the reliability of a model. Thus EMPS is the process where the mine planning process is integrated and aligned with the strategic objectives of the company which involves continuous adjustments to changes in the business environment. By varying the input parameters the desired balance between financial and physical returns can be achieved. EMPS deals with those components and decisions that largely affect the value of the mining business over the long-term (Smith G.L, S.N. Surujhlal, and K.T. Manyuchi, 2008). It is a process of development of an effective model and plan to maximize value from exploitation of the entire mineral resource available to the organization. This is achieved through consideration and optimization of the key elements of the value chain: exploration strategy, extraction method, mining sequence, cut-off grade/pay limit, scale of operations, metallurgical processing route, social and labour plans, environmental and sustainable development philosophy, and marketing/sales strategy. The key parameters of effective mine planning are: a) Quantification / Evaluation of mineral deposits b) Efficient planning of ore / reserves extraction c) Manage productivity levels d) Managing voluminous data during the entire life of mine The scope of effective mine planning is related to the continuous revision of medium and long-term mine plans to ensure that short-term operations are consistent with long-term strategic objectives. The effective mine plan is thus necessary to provide consistent direction but also to provide a base against which to assess new exploitation options and projects. Mining industries need to adopt such approach of cyclical, continuous feedback planning where reserves and mine schedule are being re-evaluated regularly. The few elements of effective mine planning are, 1. Systematic analysis of the deposit. 10

Study of effective elements of mine planning. Certainly the OBM tool plays a vital role in achieving a goal of effective mine planning which helps to a) Optimize the quantity and quality of the mined product b) Utilize all available resources as efficiently as possible c) Show the big picture and detail as for as possible d) Implement business strategy e) Accommodate change in input parameters at any time f) Allow effective feedback to workforce and management g) Allow scenario analysis and alternative generation h) Chosen on basis of the technical level of available personnel Effective mine development typically requires a balance between, averaging the good and bad characteristics of a resource to balance equipment utilization and for consistency of mine output deliberately selecting more profitable blocks in the early mine life to maximize the advantages of early cash flows. The averaging process means blending for consistent (average) quality i.e. selecting mining blocks of high waste:ore ratio simultaneously with blocks of low waste:ore ratio. The focus on selecting the more profitable blocks early is to balance the higher profitability of these blocks with interest repayment and capital imposts that are most severe at the start of the mine (Mohapatra Debasish; 2009). SIGNIFICANCE OF ORE BODY MODELING (OBM) IN EFFECTIVE MINE PLANNING The dependence of a mining operation on an accurate 3D Ore Body Model is growing for all scales of operations, from small quarries to large open pit. This trend can be attributed to an increasing demand for efficiency in mining industries expecting accurate information on a regular basis. All requests relating to the resource or reserve ultimately lead back to the OBM on which planning and production activities are based. But how well do these models represent the geology of the orebody? Geological modeling software makes use of spatial information, that is x, y, z coordinate data to construct 3D models which represent the geometry of an ore body. Internal geometrical features such as mineralized zones and grade distribution are also represented in these models, as are external influences such as cross-cutting dykes, country rock effects (e.g. metamorphism and alteration), structural The Indian Mining & Engineering Journal
elements and xenoliths. The coordinate data may be lithological intersects measured from surveyed drillhole core, or it may be surface and underground geological contacts mapped on paper and then captured into digital format. Topo-cadastral survey data are also used. This information can be imported into an integrated system as point or vector data which is then connected to create data objects known as geological solids or wireframes (Figure 2).
information which, in addition to spatial x, y, z data, must also contain additional numerical information such as a sample or identification number, assay results, geotechnical parameters. This information is supported in a modeling system as point data for the purposes of contouring, but more importantly, the data can be used to determine a semi-variogram of a particular variable (e.g. CaCO3, MgCO3) and then interpolated by a variety of techniques such as inverse distance and kriging to estimate the grade distribution within an orebody. Such techniques can also be applied to geotechnical and geo-hydrological data to construct models. Standard Mine planning software packages like Surpac, Datamine, GEMCOM, Vulcom etc are available for creation of Ore Body Models from the exploration data and for mine optimization. As already explained, the purpose of a Ore Body Model is to accurately represent not only the grade, tonnage and grade distribution of the mineral deposit, but also its boundary and the internal structure based on which the mine planners can plan the effective mine planning with full respect to the viability, feasibility and longevity of mining operations in totality. These software packages have modules for Bore hole data entry, Survey, Ore reserve Estimation, Ore Body Modeling, Pit design, Haul Road design, Pit optimization, Mine scheduling etc. They have strong graphic user interfaces and are user friendly. Further the statistical and geo-statistical methods take into account the viability in an orebodys mineralization and can be used to quantify the uncertainty associated with the reserve estimates which is possible with OBM tool. As with any other reserve estimation procedure, considerable judgment is needed in the use of geostatistics but the methods are easily adoptable to take into account the specific properties of each deposit, the nature of the sample information available, the degree of continuity present in the mineralization, as well as the geologic controls that may influence ore distribution. For this reason, geo-statistic is increasingly becoming accepted as an adoptable method likely to give improved estimates in most of the situations. A key prerequisite to an integrated geo-statistical modeling process is the organization of an exploration database. Raw geological and exploration data are entered and processed to a desired format to control the data processing. The relevant geological and exploration data is stored in a computer database for interpretation and generation of an appropriate ore body model. INTEGRATED ORE BODY MODEL FOR LIMESTONE DEPOSIT A CASE STUDY In order to provide a better alternative and effective mine 11 The Indian Mining & Engineering Journal

Ore Body Models ((Models Generated by the authors) The way in which the connections are made can be controlled by the user up to a point, but the actual creation of the solid is automatic and makes use of a mathematical algorithm which triangulates between x, y, z points to create a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) (Barchi et al.1990). According to Barchi et al, the mine planner should retain a certain degree of control over the creation of the model and apply additional knowledge not necessarily contained in the data.

planning options and solutions to the problems arising in case of traditional / conventional approach of mine planning, a case study is presented in this paper which is an original work carried out by the author. The data has been drawn from one of the limestone mine offering a realistic example of the situation. The study carried out by the author has been attempted to understand the use of an ore body modeling tool for effective mine planning and to analyze the grade variation of the deposit with generation of various mine planning alternatives by using integrated mine planning software. The study will endeavor to identify various parameters to be considered in relation with ore body model and suggest an approach to utilize this tool at the initial stage of mine planning. The study considers the different operating scenarios for adoption in mine planning. The results are based on analyses of the ore body model as created with the help of Surpac and analysis of data collected. The model is then used for drawing alternatives in conjunction with blending options, parameters to evaluate the bench height on the operating and direct mining costs thus affecting the NPV. Limestone has been mined by the traditional blast-load open pit method since the start of the operation. The limestone currently being mined occurs in a flat lying bed of an average thickness of 12.93 m. Data collected for the development of the model was first formatted in MS Excel and further interfaced to Mine Planning Software SURPAC. The deposit model was created for using the same for effective mine planning and the initial estimates of tonnage and grade alongwith the block was interfaced back to mine operations. CREATION OF FILE FORMAT FOR DATA IMPORT IN SURPAC The bore hole data was converted into four different Comma Separated Value (.csv) in MS Excel Sheets namely Collar1.Csv, Survey1.Csv, Geology1.Csv, Sample1.Csv. The fields as used for these files are given below.
DERIVATION OF LITHOCODES While preparing the geological input file, the lithologcal features of the bore hole data was grouped into families of similar characteristics for the convenience of the data processing and new lithocodes have been derived. Thus 108 lithocodes were grouped into 24 lithocodes and the data was imported into Surpac as shown in the screen captured figure:3.
Figure : 3 - Lithocode derivation Before creation of the model, a general pre-requisite is to colour the boreholes based on lithology, with the lithocodes and the sample values of the major mineral to be displayed on either side of the boreholes when seen in the section mode (Figure : 4).

58.863 %. The mode which is a frequently occurring value has been arrived as 80% which helps for selection of proper blending options for raw mix improvement. Similarly in case of MgCO3 the maximum MgCO3 contents are 18.9 % and the mean has been evaluated as 3.2 %. The mode has been arrived as 3.36%. A class-frequency diagram of basic variable CaCO3 and MgCO3 of limestone has also been drawn from Surpac as shown in Figure-7. It involves dividing a large group into smaller groups or grade intervals usually of equal size which will represent the same range of values of CaCO3 and MgCO3 of limestone. The table 1: indicates the statistical evaluation of the limestone in respect of parameters as CaCO3 and MgCO3. Table 1: Statistical evaluation of the limestone Figure : 4 - Display of boreholes with Grid and sample values (Generated by the authors) STATISTICAL AND GEO-STATISTICS ANALYSIS OF SAMPLE DATA The viability in an orebodys mineralization was assessed by statistical and geo-statistical methods and used to quantify the uncertainty associated with the reserve estimates of the deposit. The first step in analyzing the sample data collected from the boreholes is to make it fit for geo-statistical evaluation. This has been achieved by composting the sample data at equal intervals within the Ore Zone and by interpreting the borehole sections a wire frame of ore zone was made.

DELINEATION OF ORE BODY WITH SOLID MODELING To delineate the ore body the intercepts of Ore Zone in each and every sections were joined and the solid model of limestone ore body has been created (figure :8). The purpose of solid modeling is to stitch together the delineated ore body across every section to form a ore body of the area of interest i.e limestone ore body. The borehole intercepts can be seen in the solid model. Also, the volume of the solid model has been calculated as 18944004 tonnes. Considering the bulk density of limestone as 2.5 tonnes / cu.mt, the total reserves in tonnes has been estimated as 44048046 tonnes (44.05 million tonnes).
Figure 7 (a) & (b): Class- Frequency diagram of basic variable of CaCO3 and MgCO3 of limestone. It can be observed from the figure -7 (a) that the distribution of limestone grade in respect of parameter of CaCO3 is of asymmetrical or right or positive skewed curves which is caused by the extremes in the higher values distorting the curves to the right. This is also representing the mixing of impurities with the output which are distinctly separable. Kurtosis for CaCO3 is 2.8450 indicating the test of normality. It is a measure of how peaked the distribution is or steepness of ascent near the mode of the distribution. Since the variance is high i.e 442.579 which is more than 100, then according to CRII (1975), the deposit comes into a group no IV i.e. highly non-uniform category which neesds proper attention for effective mine planning at initial phase. The standard deviation which is a square root of the variance has been arrived to 21.0370 and 1.4640 for CaCO3 and MgCO3 respectively. The distribution in respect of MgCO3 is observed to be more or less of normal distribution. December 2010: Entering 50th Year of Publications
Figure 8: Solid Model with borehole intercepts & the topography and volume calculation. BLOCK MODELING The purpose of block modeling is to estimate the block values of limestone represented by the solid body from the point values obtained from the geological database. The Inverse Square Distance method of estimation technique has been used to estimate the block values. 14 The Indian Mining & Engineering Journal
The ultimate purpose is to get the amount of reserves available level wise in that area so as to plan the mining operation for optimum exploitation of limestone. A graphical view of the block model as generated by the authors is shown in figure:9. The levelwise estimate is also calculated based on the block model report as generated with Surpac (Table-2). The variation of quantity & quality is studied at various cut-offs. This helps in establishing the economic cut-off grade. In addition it also helps in establishing the blending possibilities of the inferior ore with the superior grade ore to strike the required balance based on the market conditions. These results can be used for generation of various alternatives for effective mine planning.
From the above graphs, it is concluded that the average grade of limestone and the sufficient quantum is mainly available between mRL 230 to 240. Therefore, this analysis is utilized in suggesting alternative planning at these levels. Further with the help of grade tonnage curve one can able to decide the cut off grade of limestone for this particular deposit at these mRLs. Considering the difficulties and problem definitions of the conventional mine planning for the deposit, the results of analysis of OBM can be utilized for generation three basic alternative scenarios to make the planning more effective. These are; 1. 2. Bench height parameters and its orientation. Blending optimization for raw mix improvement & Grade Control. 3. Ultimate pit configuration The generation of these alternatives on the basis of ore body model as created will develop a systematic model that can be used in the evaluation of a wide range of reserves in the initial planning phase to determine the most economic pit geometry and equipment selection. Attention will be given to the combination of bench height and equipment selection, evaluation of different blending options for the raw mix improvement and evaluation of ultimate pit configuration to maximize the return on investors capital through efficient resource utilization at the lowest unit cost. The methodology for the generation of these alternatives is beyond the scope of this paper, however, the comparison of the outcome of the study and how the OBM technique is useful for effective mine planning is enumerated as below. CONCLUSIONS The orebody model as developed, provides an easy-to-use tool to assist limestone mine planners in the analysis of mine planning aspects and adoption of a tool for selection of effective mine planning options. If properly used, the model can become an essential tool for long-term planning in addition to other planning programs already available. Its application enables a mine operator to foresee years in advance the most favourable alternative options for mine planning, if any, and therefore, maximize the present worth of the operation. In this way, the mining industry will get enough time to take the decision for selection of cost effective options and to take necessary measures to investigate the issue further. The model also allows frequent analysis of different operating options in a short period of time. The results have a pre-feasibility study level accuracy and, needless to say, the reliability of the output is directly conditioned to the quality of the input data.

The relation between the selection of bench height with that of production rate and its effect on NPV has not been considered in case of existing planning.
Application of NPV is simple once the orebody model is generated. The block model as created will be utilized for deciding the NPV. The design process consists of 3 main steps: a) finding the block extraction sequence which produces the best net present value (NPV) whilst satisfying the geotechnical slope constraints, b) designing the practically mineable mine phases (pushbacks) which are roughly based on the optimal block sequence, and c) optimizing the mining schedule and cutoff grades (COG). The NPV of this optimal schedule is considered as a main criterion of the economical viability of the project. The net present value method estimates natural resources asset values as the discounted sum of future resource rent generated by the utilization of the resource. In the present case, the effect of increase in the rate of production by increasing the bench height is found to be of increasing trend. The maximum NPV is considered for the viable project. If the NPV is less than 0, then the project planning is not economical. Therefore, there is a scope to increase the production rate from 2.7 to 3.2 million tonnes per annum for maximum NPV as shown in the following graph. The rate of production depends on the height of bench which ultimately affects the NPV.

The conventional method is very time consuming, tedious and critical and requires lot of efforts and manpower.
The OBM method is very simple, fast, less time consuming requires less manpower and able to visualize all results into graphical environment. Once the OBM is generated, it can be further utilized for creation of different models including the most important the block models which can be produced gradewise calculation of reserves. The huge data can be handled easily with variety of results and possible to update the model at any time.

V. S. Gadhvi, IAS Managing Director The Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Limited, (GMDC) was set up / established / constituted in the year 1963, with the mandate to develop major mineral resources in the State of Gujarat. The Company commenced its operations, with a small sand crushing plant at Surendranagar which supplied graded sand to consumers all over the State. The sand was used by various manufacturers of sodium silicate and glass industries. Since then it had expanded its operations with infusion of fresh capital and new innovative technologies in mining & processing. By early 70s, to meet the increase demand of fuel of Gujarat based industries, GMDC, commenced mining of lignite in Kutch district. Availability of lignite as an efficient and cheaper substitute for coal provided the impetus for industrial growth of Gujarat. The production of lignite, demand driven, continued to increase and reached a level of 5 million tonnes by the year 1997-98. With further exploration in other parts of Gujarat, more deposits of lignite were identified in Bharuch district. GMDC started mining operations at Rajpardi near Ankleshwar in 1984, and has been supplying lignite to majority of the textile industries from this mine. Besides, it had extablished its own lignite based power plant at Akrimato.
