2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION
(i) IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT
MINE OWNER ADDRESS

R/o ward no. 16, Shivpuri, Buxar, Bihar
Shri Pradeep Kumar Keshari
The project is for mining of mineral by new opencast semi-mechanized method using hand tools
such as spades, chisel, hammer etc.
(ii) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

Proposed mining activity will be carried out by the new open cast semi mechanized method of
mining using hand tools such as spades, chisel, hammer etc. Metal stone formation will be loosened
by regular drilling and this will be transported from pit bottom to surface by machine and from the
loading point of view, Metal stone is transported by truck/dumper to the Stone crusher.
(iii) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR
REGION
Stone is one of the important industrial minerals. Stone occurs in the area as a secondary mineral
resulting from the hydration of magnesium bearing rocks such as peridotite gabbro, dolomites etc. It
occurs commonly in the schists and steatite. Stone is hydrated magnesium silicate. Referring to
regional geological setup this stone seems to be younger than the pyroxenite, quartzite and since the
dolerite bodies intrusive in nature within it so the stone is older than the dolerite. But locally, these
litho units are not exposed. As revealed from the quarry the top 1 m of stone is largely weathered
and in few place shows evidence of secondary alteration.
