 GSI BRIEFING BOOK OF EASTERN REGION

1. INTRODUCTION

The Eastern Region of Geological Survey of India was established in 1961 with the
regional headquarters at Kolkata and Circle Offices of Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal –Andaman and
Sikkim Unit with headquarters at Patna, Bhubaneswar, Kolkata and Gangtok respectively. The circle
offices were mainly involved with the systematic geological mapping and assessment of mineral
resources. At the Regional Headquarters there were specialized divisions like Engineering Geology,
Map compilation, Geophysical investigation, Chemical Laboratory and Drilling Division. The
activities were further expanded to Photogeology & Remote Sensing, Regional Integrated Survey,
and Quaternary & Environmental Geology, Earthquake Geology and the Geodata Divisions.
Subsequently the Circle Offices were redesignated as “Operation”. In the year 2000, two
major changes took place as regards the operational coverage of Eastern Region. Operation Bihar &
Jharkhand was split into Operation Bihar and Operation Jharkhand with headquarters at Patna and
Ranchi. The erstwhile AMSE Eastern zone headquartered at Ranchi was amalgamated with operation
Jharkhand. At the same time the Sikkim Unit (of Operation West Bengal) was delinked from Eastern
Region and amalgamated with NER, Shillong. Thus Eastern Region now covers geographical area of
0.426 million sq km in the states of WB (88752sq km)-Andaman (8249 sq km), Bihar (94162 sq km),
Jharkhand (79714 sq km) and Orissa (1,55,707 sq km).

Geologically the main land part of Eastern Region represents:

- Archaean -Proterozoic Rocks, hosting a majority of mineral occurrences in Orissa,
Jharkhand and West Bengal.
- Proterozoic Rocks, including limestone in the Vindhyans in Bihar and Jharkhand.
- Gondwana Supergroup, a storehouse for coal, refractory clays and coal bed methane.
- Late Cretaceous - Early Palaeocene Rajmahal traps equivalent of the Deccan Continental
Flood Basalts.
- The sub-Himalayan foothills covering Darjeeling and Duars with marine Gondwana,
Siwaliks and the Pleistocene fan deposit
- The Quaternary Indo-Gangetic Alluvium covering major parts of Bihar and West Bengal.

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands on the other hand represents:

- Dominantly post-Cretaceous Ophiolite–flysch–wacke sequence developed as accretionary
prism and wedge resultant to the ongoing subduction process along the Indo-Eurasian Plate
margin in the Bay of Bengal.

PHYSIOGRAPHY AND TECTONIC FRAMEWORK

Physiographically the Chhotanagpur Plateau region of central and south Bihar–Jharkhand can
be divided on the basis of physiographic consideration into Ranchi and Hazaribagh plateaus. The
former is the main plateau with general elevation of about 600m above m.s.l. in Ranchi district, has a
flat to gently undulating topography with occasional ridges and gradually slopes down towards south-
east into the hilly and undulating topography with occasional ridges of Singhbhum. To the north of
Tatanagar, the Dalma hills rising about 500m to 600m from the plains with a prominent east-west
trending hill ranges are flanked on either side by easily denuded phyllites and mica schists forming
the plains. The vast Singhbhum Granite cratonic terrain is represented by a peneplane, which is highly
intercepted by residual mounds and rock knolls. The drainage system of the area is mainly controlled
by the Damodar, Ajoy, Subarnerakha, north and south Koel river forming different basins.
The eastern fringe of Indian peninsula to a large extent constitutes part of the Eastern Ghats
hill ranges which flanks the main cratonic part to the west. Geomorphology of the area is broadly
controlled by various regional geological and tectonic features. The prominent central highland is

1
marked by linear hill ranges lending NE-SW in the southern part and WNW-ESE or E-W in the
central part. It is separated from the low-level coastal plain in the east by a series of faults. The central
highland is again separated by upthrusts parallel to its hill ranges from the western part of the state
which is the continuation of the dissected central Indian plateau-land.
The central highland is further cut-across by the NW-SE trending Mahanadi graben in Orissa
along which the river flows from west to east, The Mahanadi and sub-parallel Brahmani lineaments
form a tectonic zone which divides the central highland into a southern segment constituted of
granulite facies litho assemblages continuing southwards into Andhra Pradesh, and a northern
segment exposing ancient (Archaean) granite-greenstone assemblages continuing northwards into
Jharkhand. The Eastern Ghats is separated by Northern Orissa Boundary Fault (NOBF) from the
northern part of the central highland.The shield area of Jharkhand is predominantly occupied by
Archaean Singhbhum granite batholith , flanked by Proterozoic supracrustals of Singhbhum Group,
Dalma volcanic belt and vast peneplain area of Chhotanagpur granite gneissic complex in the north.
The northern segment of the central highland and the western plateau-land bordering Eastern
Ghats are similar in geological set up and are known respectively as the North Orissa Craton and
Bastar Craton. While in the middle of it lies the Gondwana formations in Mahanadi graben bounded
by faults, which have rich coal resources, some sectors of the coastal plains are mostly covered by
Tertiary, and Quaternary sediments and low-level laterite.
The Extra-peninsular region of West Bengal comprises the mountainous tract of the Eastern
Himalayas, covering Darjeeling and part of Jalpaiguri districts. The three longitudinal morphotectonic
sub-divisions of the Himalayas, i.e. the Lesser and Central or Higher Himalayas are traceable in the
Darjeeling sector. The Main Boundary Fault (MBF/MBT) separates the syn-orogenic Siwalik Group
of the Sub-Himalayas in the foreland from the stacked pile of thrust sheets constituting the Lesser
Himalayan Zone. The Main Central Thrust (MCT) separates the Lesser Himalayas from the Higher
Himalayas in the north constituted of mainly gneissic rocks associated with high-grade
metamorphites. The major portion of Bihar and West Bengal is occupied by the Gangetic alluvial
plain.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands arc forms the northern extension of outer Indonesian
Island arc system and represent part of a major accretionary complex that extends from Indonesian
Island arcs in the south to Burma in the north. The Andaman arc-trench system has been described as
the result of the active subduction of the Indian oceanic lithosphere below the Eurasian plate along
the Andaman-Java trench, from Cretaceous to the present day The ophiolite occurrences in Andaman
Islands are interpreted as thrust slices of oceanic crust scraped off the subducting slab at the toe of the
accretionary complex.

GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
WEST BENGAL
The state of West Bengal, covering an area of 88752 sq. km is bounded by Latitude 21o 30’ to
27 30’ N and Longitude 85o 30’ to 89o 45’ E. It encompasses diverse rock types ranging from
o

Archaean to Recent alluvial sediments. The hard rocks occupy about 25% and the alluvial tract covers
about 75% of the total area. The Extra Peninsular region shows three longitudinal morphotectonic
subdivisions. The Main Boundary Fault separates syn-orogenic Siwalik Group (Tertiary) comprising
coarse, hard, salt -pepper sandstone, silt stone, shale and conglomerate of the Sub Himalayas in the
foreland from the Lesser Himalaya which constitutes stacked pile of thrust sheets constituting
dominantly dolostones, cherts, slates, phyllite, quartzites, high grade schists and gneisses. The Main
Central Thrust separates Lasser Himalayas from the Higher Himalayas in the north which constitutes
mainly high grade gneissic rocks. Gondwana Supergroup of rocks with anthracite coal seams is found
near Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling districts. The Quaternary deposits of the extra Peninsular region occurs
just south of Siwalik Group as alluvial fans and fluvial depositional terraces in the upper reaches and
as fluvial terraces of flood plain facies in the lower reaches.
Within the peninsular mass in the south-western part of the state, the Chhotanagpur Gnessic
Complex (CGC) forms an integral and important segment of Precambrian Shield of Eastern India.
The Proterozoic rocks are exposed in southern part of Purulia district and extend over the western

2
parts of Bankua, Bardhaman, Birbhum and Midnapur districts. The rock types include paragneisses
and schists, gabbros, norites and anorthosites, granites and granitoids metavolcanics and recent find
of carbonatite. The WNW-ESE trending Tamar-Porapahar Shear Zone (TPSZ) between
Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex (CGC) and Singhbhum Group of rocks and E-W trending North
Purulia Shear Zone within CGC are sites of base metal and rare earth mineralisation. Gondwana
Supergroup of rocks rest unconformably over the Proterozoics and are characterised by extensive
presence of coal seams.
The Tertiary rocks occur as patchy occurrences of ferruginous sandstone, red shale, grits and
gravels in parts of Midnapur, Bankura and Bardhaman districts. Quaternary deposits are represented
by present day flood plain deposits, older flood plain deposits and older alluviums over a mantle of
lower Quaternary age.

Mineral Resources: Various metallic and nonmetallic minerals are found in the Peninsular and
Extra Peninsular parts of the state.

Apatite- Vien type apatite-magnetite mineralisation occurs in Purulia district in Beldih, Mednitanr,
Chirugora, Purtaha, Kanti and Dandodih-Gamardih.

Basemetal occurrences are located in Gorubathan (Darjeeling dist, Pb-Zn)and Tamakun (Purulia
dist, Cu).

China clay- Extensive deposits of china clay have been located with the Gondwanas in the western
districts of the sate.

Coal- Coal is the most important economic mineral of West Bengal and contributes about 13% of the
total coal production in the country. The important coalfields are Raniganj coalfield and those located
in Birbhum, Bankura and Purulia districts. Small coal deposits are located in Darjeeling district.

Dolomite- Extensive deposits of dolomite occur in Precambrian Bauxa Group of rocks in Jainti-
Bauxa Duar area of Jalpaiguri district.with CaO varying from 10.9% to 37.5% and MgO from 6.43%
to 22.24%.

Fire clay- The fire clay deposits are generally associated with coal seams over a wide area in
Raniganj coal field and partly in Birbhum coal field.

Kyanite- Discontinuous bodies of Kyanite quartz rocks are located in Purulia district.

Silica sand- Huge reserves of sands are available from the beds of many rivers in the western and
northern part of the state and most river sands are impure in nature. Besides, moulding sand and glass
sand also occur ii some parts of the state.

Wolframite - Wolframite occurs in Chhendapathar and Porapahar areas of Bankura district and also
in Mansang area of Darjeeling district.

ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS
This arcuate chain of Andaman & Nicobar group of Islands flanked on the west by the Bay of
Bengal and on the east by the Andaman Sea constitutes the southern most part of the Indian
subcontinent covering an area of 8249 sq. km. Among 700+ islands, those which are large,
reasonably suitable for habitation, sustainable for eco-friendly development and host of good natural
resources are known as Andaman Islands. Associated with them is other small but important islands
like Rutland, Neil, Havlock, Ritches Archipelago and Baratang. These Islands together with the
Quaternary volcanic Islands at Barren and Narcondam retain a wealth of information about Recent
and Cenozoic geological processes.
Andaman and Nicobar group of Islands represents a part of an arcuate chain of islands
running from Myanmar in the north to Indonesia in the south in Indo-Sumatra subduction zone. The
island chain represent the subaerial part of the submarine fore arc ridge of the Indonesian Island Arc
system. An active zone of subduction along the Andaman-Java trench lies to the west of the
Andaman-Nicobar islands and continues southward into the Indonesia. Underthusting of the Indian
oceanic plate below the Eurasian plate since Cretaceous to present day along this subduction zone has
resulted in the formation of a wide accretionary prism and upbuilding of a high fore arc - outer arc
ridge known as Andaman-Nicobar ridge.
These islands geologically comprise continental metamorphic rocks of pre-ophiolitic age,
described as Pre-ophiolitic rocks. These are located as large and xenolithic patches within the
ophiolite. The oldest groups of rocks comprise a package of metamorphic rocks viz., quartzite, quartz
sericite schist etc.
The widely accepted lithostratigraphy for the Andaman Islands depict oceanic crust and
associated pelagic sediments represented by Ophiolite suite of Cretaceous age (80-100 million years)
as the oldest stratigraphic horizon. They comprise ultramafic rocks, gabbro, basalt, plagio-granite,
diorite and limestone-chert.
Thin and discontinuous occurrences of radiolarian chert, jasper, mudstone and shale that are
interstratified with basalt are part of the ophiolite sequence that have been described as Oceanic
Pelagic Sediments (OPS).
The Eocene to Pliocene sedimentary sequence younger to OPS comprises conglomerate,
sandstone, limestone, siltstone- shale. This sediment pile has been classified into three Groups-
Mithakari, Andaman Flysch and Archipelago in ascending order. Clastic and volcaniclastic sediments
of Mithakhari Group are laterally extensive and considerably thick siliciclastic turbidite succession,
the Andaman Flysch overlying the Mithakhari Group and. The top most stratigraphic horizon of
Mio-Pliocene age is an interbedded sequence of claystone-tuffs-sandstone-limestone referred to as
Archipelago Group. The ophiolite suite of rocks also occurs as dismembered units of subhorizontal
thrust slices lying over the Andaman Flysch..
Quaternary sediments are seen overlying the hard rocks at places. The Narcondam and the
Barren are volcanic islands in the inner arc of the subduction zone.
The outer arc-fore arc terrain constituting the Andaman-Nicobar Islands is characterized by a
complex mosaic of different geological provinces each has its own records of origin and geological
evolution. Rocks of the Andaman Islands are tectonically thrusted into a narrow north-south trending
linear belt paralleling the north-south trend of the Andaman-Java subduction zone. The Ophiolites,
their cover sediments and the Andaman Flysh together are folded into an open anticline (Ray, 1982).
Sets of mesoscopic folds occur in all the sedimentary units associated with ophiolites.

MINERAL RESOURCES
The Andaman Islands have long been investigated for minerals of economic importance,
constructional material, and for occurrences of liquid fuel. Mineral investigation by the GSI led to the
find of limestone, chromite, nickel, base metals, gold, PGE and coal in different islands. Except
limestone, the other minerals so far assessed are found to be sub-economic. The limestone resources
in Long Island have yielded a reserve of over four million tonnes of cement grade

BIHAR
After bifurcation of the state in the year 2000, presently the State of Bihar covers an area of
94162 sq. km. bounded by latitudes 24º 15' N and 27º 31' N and longitudes 83º 20' E and 88º 18' E,
Nearly two-thirds of the state of Bihar is covered by Indo-Gangetic alluvial sediments. They are
flanked by the belt of Himalayan foothill sediments to the north and Vindhyan Plateau, coal bearing
Gondwana basins, Chhotanagpur plateau and other highland cratonic elements of Pre-Cambrian
formations to the south.
Amongst the significant geological formations in the state are the Munger Group located
close to the northern margin of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic terrain of Jharkhand and occurrung as
several NE-ENE - SW-WSW trending ridges rising above the Gangetic Alluvium. The group
comprises metasedimentary lithopackages of quartzite and phyllite. These are intruded at places by
granite and basic rocks. The munger Group rocks have been folded and faulted inticately. Some of the
Hot-springs of Rajgir area lie over some of such faults. Munger Group have been considered by some
as time equivalent of a part of Vindhayans. Vindhan rocks in the state of Bihar are located to the
easternmost continuity of the Son Valley vindhanyans. It covers about 3740 sqkm area.and is
bounded in the north by the Mahakoshals and the Chhotanagpur gneissic complex in the south and by
Gangetic Alluvium in the north and represent the Semri – Kaimur Groups,the lower part of the
Super Group.
Representatives of the Tertiary period in Bihar are few and scattered and are represented by
the fossiliferous unit known as the Rajdanda Formation. Undifferentiated Siwalik Groupof rocks
occur towards the NW margin bordering Nepal and comprise calc-arenite, calci-lutite, impure
limestones, sub-gerywacke, variegated clay, boulder conglomerates and red clay. They have been
correlated with Lower, Middle and Upper Siwaliks of western Himalya and with the Surma, Tipam
and Dihings of Assam valley. Vertibrate fossil remains are reported from the Middle Siwaliks in
Banktwa and Raghis, West Champaran district.
The alluvial terrain of the state represents a conspicuous part of the geological history.
Predominant feature is the Gangetic plain covered by the riverine alluvial deposits forming part of the
great northern plains of India. Rising above the alluvial plain are some inselbergs of older rocks.
Recent studies have brought into light presence of NE-SW trending faults oblique to the NW-SE
trend of the Himalayas occurring to north and also to the peninsular shield elements and as such
conceived that several ancient rifted basinal features co-exist with regions of uplift, within a broad
framework of the nprthern extension of the shield elements. This terrain comprises a 6000m thick pile
of sediments in the Himalayan front and a platform belt in the south with sediment thickness varying
between 3000 to 6000m.

JHARKHAND
The State of Jharkhand lying between latitudes 22º 00' N and 24º 15' N and longitudes 83º 20'
E and 87º 55' E covers an area of 79714 sq. km.
Jharkhand preserves the signature of Archaean to Recent time either in complete or in
vestigial form that are manifested by Archaean Supracrustals of 3.4 m.y.,age Pre-Cambrian Granite-
greenstone and granulite gneiss belt in the southern cratonic part..
The shield area of the state of Jharkhand displays a mosaic of several geological provinces
viz., (a)The Archaean Cratonic massif of Singhbhum Granite including older metamorphics (b) Iron
ore province of South Singhbhum (c) Proterozoic mobile belt of North Singhbhum and (d)
Chhotanagpur granite gneissic massif with enclaves of high grade rocks.
The Archaean-Proterozoic rocks of the shield area occurring to the south of Gangetic alluvium and
forming the basement for the younger rocks consist of two major tectonic units:
(i) The Singhbhum Province in the south and
(ii) Chhotanagpur Province in the north.
The boundary between the two provinces is defined by a basement dislocation zone now
manifested by Tamar-Porapahar Shear Zone (TPSZ). The most spectacular structural element of the
Singhbhum Craton is a 1-10 km wide and 160 km (approximate ) long arcuate belt of shear zone
(Singhbhum Shear Zone) separating the North Singhbhum Mobile Belt in the north from Iron Ore
Super group and the Singhbhum Granite to the south acts as locale of copper mineralization.
The Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) represents the oldest rocks in the Singhbhum
Craton. It is a diverse group consisting of medium grade (amphibolite facies), pelitic schist, arenites,
calc-silicate rocks, para-and ortho-amphibolites (Saha, 1994). It is best exposed (type area) in 200 sq.
km. area to the west and southwest of Champua.
The north-south, elongated Singhbhum Granite Complex (SBG) massif is a multi-
component unit ranging in composition from tonalite through granodiorite to granite. It occupies an
area of about 3000 sq km out of a total 8000 sq km for the entire cratonic block.The Singhbhum
Granite batholith (sensu stricto) is considered to be made up of 12 magmatic bodies of biotite
granodiorite-granite emplaced in three distinct phases.
The Iron Ore province (Iron Ore Supergroup) comprises an assemblage of Archaean
supracrustal consisting of mafic-ultramafic volcanics, volcano-clastics, chert, BIF, greywackes, meta-
argillites and arenites (with polyphase deformation and greenschist facies of metamorphism) and are
deposited in three major basins of Eastern India; viz.
i) Potka-Gorumahisani-Badampahar basin along the eastern border of Singhbhum
Granite (Part designated as Gorumahisani Group),
ii) West Singhbhum-Kendujhar basin in the western flank of Singhbhum Granite massif
(designated as Lower Bonai Group),
iii) Palalahara-Daiteri basin along southern part, confined entirely to the State of Orissa.
In the State of Jharkhand, the litho-assemblages of Lower Bonai Group occur only in parts of
East and West Singhbhum districts. IOG/ Lower Bonai rocks occur along the eastern flank of the
Singhbhum Granite with fork shaped curvilinear belts along Kunderkocha -Tiring-Rajnagar in the
west and Kunderkocha-Digharsai-Potka-Ukampahar in the north. These are considered to be the
classical Greenstone belt comparable with the other such belts of the world and the sequences are
engulfed and intruded by Singhbhum Granite, This Granite-Greenstone sequence is considered to be a
significant locale for gold mineralization. In west Singhbhum the Lower Bonai IOG rocks lying to the
west of SBG is dominated by BIF along with volcanics in the southeastern part and low grade meta-
sediments with minor volcanics in the northern part which forms a part of the ‘Horse Shoe’ shaped
Iron Ore synclinorium with NNE-SSW axial trend.
The ancient Singhbhum craton is surrounded on the east, north and northeast by
predominantly pelitic supracrustals with a number of intrusive granitoids and the set-up is designated

12
as Proterozoic Mobile Belt or North Singhbhum Mobile Belt. This belt extends along a roughly
east-west trend and bounded by Singhbhum Shear Zone (SSZ) in the south and vast expanse of
Chhotanagpur gneissic terrain in the north and with the east-west trending Tamar-Porapahar shear
zone (TPSZ) in between. The prominent feature of this mobile belt is the arcuate Dalma volcanics,
The Proterozoic period also represented by the Vindhyan Supergroup of rocks exposed in
the Western part, which draws attention for its bio-organic sedimentary structure and limestone
deposits.
The coal bearing horizons of Gondwana Supergroup represent the Phanerozoic period. In
Peninsular India several belts of depocentres of largely continental sediments were developed during
the period, a major part of which falls within Bihar-Jharkhand. The Gondwana rocks occur as
isolated basins within the Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss terrain. These rocks occupy a significant part
of Jharkhand and also include thick measures of coal seam. The basins have been developed along
two distinct tectonic trends: (i) the east-west trending Damodar and Koel valley basins and its
subsidiary belt and (ii) the north-south trending Rajmahal-Purnea belt.The Gondwanas are overlain
by Rajmahal Volcanics in the Eastern part.
The Pleistocene-Holocene period represented by the cover sediments of the Indo-Gangetic
alluvial deposits occupy a vast tract in the northern part.

MINERAL RESOURCES

APATITE: Apatite is found in East and West Singhbhum district as veins emplaced in the
Singhbhum Shear Zone in a 60 km. long belt in the eastern part of shear zone. Apatite mineralisation
also occurs as an associated mineral in mica pegmatites of Bihar Mica Belt, in parts of Gaya,
Hazaribagh and Munger districts.

BAUXITE: Extensive deposits of bauxite are found in the western parts of Chhotanagpur Plateau
falling in Lohardaga, Gumla and adjoining Palamau district. The reserves of high grade bauxite,
containing above 50% Al2O3 were tentatively estimated to be about 9 mt in the erstwhile Ranchi
district and 1.7 mt in Palamau district. The exploration at Amtipani area established an estimated
reserve of 4.95 mt analyzing 48.47% Al2O3 and 5.59% SiO2.

COAL: Jharkhand, the leading state in the Indian subcontinent in respect of its coal deposits, bears
the testimony of classical development of the Permian coal measures. Out of different Gondwana
basins of Peninsular India, Jharkhand state occupy the most important E-W trending Damodar-Koel
valley basin covering coalfields like Raniganj, Jharia, Bokaro, Ramgarh, Karanpura, Auranga and
Hutar from east to west.

COPPER: The Singhbhum Copper Belt, Jharkhand, stretched over a length of 128 km between
Duarpuram (22º46´: 85°34´) in the west and Baharagora (22°16’:86°43’) in the southeast has been a
major sorce of copper ores in India. This length of potential mineralized zone lies along a shear zone
and is divided into three i.e., eastern (Baharagora-Badia), central (Badia-Kharkai River) and western
(Tamadungri-Duarpuram) sectors. Copper occurrences are also recorded from Tulsitanr in Deoghar
district and Baraganda in Giridih district.

DOLOMITE:Dolomite occurrences are restricted mainly to the rocks of Singhbhum Group,

Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC) and rocks of Vindhyan Supergroup. Within CGGC
dolomite is restricted mainly in Palamau district. Dolomite in Vindhyan from Rohtas district occurs
near Banjari.
GOLD: Gold is known to occur in several areas of Jharkhand. Auriferous quartz reefs are commonly
found in the low-grade metasediments and metavolcanic rocks of ultramafic to acidic composition
belonging to Iron Ore Group and Singhbhum Group and volcanics of Dhanjori-Dalma affinities.
Among the important occurrences are Kunderkocha deposit, E Singhbhum district, Lawa-Maysara

13
deposits and quartz-pebble-conglomerate located at the base of Dhanjori basin. Other notable
occurrences include Rungikocha - Pahardia, Ankua, Sausal, Bhitardari, Parasi and Digarsai of Ranchi
and W. Singhbhum district.
IRON ORE: Jharkhand is one of the most important states with respect to high grade iron ore
deposits. Iron ores occur in a series of ridges with NNE-SSW trend, extending from the SW part of
Singhbhum district in Jharkhand to adjoining Keonjhar and Sundergarh districts in Orissa, capping
the hills and extending down to varying depths. Workable deposits of iron-ore in Jharkhand are
located around Noamundi, Notuburu, Jamda, Gua, Meghatuburu, Kiriburu, Chiria, Ghatkuri and in
other areas in Singhbhum district. The host rock is BIF and main ore mineral is hematite.
LEAD AND ZINC: In Singhbhum district galena has been found associated with the auriferous
quartz veins of Pahardia and Sausal area. In Hesatu-Belbathan polymetallic mineralization within
Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex, numerous small occurrences have been recorded. This belt
runs in ENE-WSW direction from Hesatu in the Hazaribagh district to Belbathan in Santhal Pargana
(presentlyGodda) district for a distance of about 250 km with a maximum width of about 50 km.
LIMESTONE:Limestone deposits in Jharknand are mainly associated with two different groups of
rocks, viz., Vindhyan rocks in Rohtas and Palamau districts, and Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex in
Hazaribagh, Ranchi, Munger and Palamau districts. Besides, some fine-grained, non-crystalline
limestone are also found within the rocks of Kolhan Group in Singhbhum district.
MANGANESE ORE:Manganese ores are mined in Singhbhum district in between Noamundi and
Gua and from south of Chaibasa. The ore minerals are mostly psilomelane, braunite, cryptomelane
and pyrolusite. Deposits have also been recorded from Lada Buru and Lanji.
MICA: The Bihar Mica Belt containing perhaps the best deposits of good quality ruby mica in the
world, stretch along ENE-WSW direction for a distance of about 160 km between Gurpa in Gaya
district in the west and southern part of Bhagalpur district in the east. Most part of the belt is located
within Hazaribagh and Giridih districts of Jharkhand. The belt varies from 20 to 40 km in width and
about two-thirds area of the belt is occupied by metasedimentaries of Proterozoic age, in which mica
bearing pegmatites are emplaced.
URANIUM ORE: First reported in 1921 by GSI, Jaduguda in Singhbhum district in Jharkhand has
so far remained the only producing uranium mine in India. At Jagduguda, uranium occurs associated
with hard compact and somewhat mylonitised chlorite-sericite schist and granular metasedimentaries.

ODISHA
The state of Odisha covering about 1, 55,707square km area, lies along the east coast of India
( Lat.17o48’ – 22o34’ and Long. 81o24’ – 87o29’) with a sprawling 480 km of coastline. Odisha is
divisible in to four major physiographic regions: the Northern Plateau, the Central River Basin, the
Eastern Ghats hill ranges and the Coastal Plains.
GEOLOGY:
The state of Odisha comprises dominantly of Pre-cambrians (Mesoarchean to
Neoproterozoic, 72.5%) while the Phanerozoic (8%, represented by the Late Palaeozoic – Mid
Mesozoic coal bearing Gondwana Supergroup); minor Tertiary patches and Quaternary formations
(19.5%) make up the rest.
The Precambrian terrain represents the northeastern part of the Indian Precambrian Shield
and exposes parts of two major cratonic domains viz. the Eastern Indian Craton in the north and
Bastar Craton in the west as well as bordering mobile belts [parts of the Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt and
the (Singhbhum -) Gangpur segment of the Satpura Mobile Belt].
Eastern Indian Craton (EIC) represents an Archean – Palaeoproterozoic granite-greenstone terrain
bounded by two crustal-scale shear/thrust zones, viz., the Singhbhum (Copper Belt) shear/thrust zone
in the north and the Gohira – Sukinda shear/thrust zone in the south. These two shear/thrust zones
isolate the EIC from the Singhbhum – Gangpur segment of the Satpura Mobile Belt occurring in the
north and northeast and the EGMB occurring in the south. Major lithological components of the EIC
comprise Supracrustal sequences, granitoids, mafic-ultramafic and gabbro-anorthosite complexes and
mafic dyke swarms. An older limit of ca. 3.5 Ga has been envisaged as the age of sedimentation of
Supracrustals in EIC.
Bastar Craton, exposed in the western parts of the state comprises of: Archean Supracrustals of the
Bengpal and Bailadila Groups, granitic gneisses and granitoids ranging in age from Neo-archaean to
Palaeoproterozoic, a wide variety of post-tectonic silicic intrusives with alkaline affinity,
mafic/ultramafic rocks and several Meso-Neoproterozoic sequences of platformal sediments
(Chhatisgarh Supergroup). Isotopic ages of granitoids in this craton range from 2.11 to 2.67 Ga.
Gangpur-Singhbhum Group comprising medium-grade Proterozoic rocks form a curvilinear
mobile zone skirting the Archean EIC stretching from Mayurbhanj in northeast to the Gangpur region
in the northwest through Singhbhum in the state of Jharkhand.
Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt (EGMB), extending for over 1000 km from Orissa to southeastern parts
of Andhra Pradesh along the eastern coast of the Indian Peninsula, represents one of the most highly
deformed and metamorphosed crustal segment of the Indian Shield. The EGMB comprises
Khondalite Group, Charnockite, Mafic granulites, Metaultramafic, Migmatitic granitic
gneisses/leptynites/granitoids, Plutonic alkaline complexes and massif-type anorthosite complexes. In
the Orissa sector, from east to west, the EGMB is divided into Eastern Khondalite Zone, Central
Migmatite Zone, Western Khondalite Zone, Western Charnockite Zone and the Westernmost
Transition Zone. The NW-SE trending Mahanadi graben sub-parallels the Brahmani lineament and
form a tectonic zone which divides the central highland into a southern segment comprising granulite
facies lithoassemblages continuing southwards into Andhra Pradesh, and a northern segment
exposing ancient (Archaean) granite-greenstone assemblages continuing northwards into Jharkhand.
However, the Mahanadi and Godavari rifts divide the EGMB into three segments across its
length, viz. (i) northern segment (ii) central segment and (iii) southern segment.
The southern segment of the EGMB is separated by North Orissa Boundary Fault (NOBF)
from the central highland. The northern segment of the central highland and the western plateau-land
bordering Eastern Ghats are similar in geological set up that are known respectively as the North
Orissa Craton (part of EIC) and Bastar Craton. While in the middle of it lies the Gondwana
formations in Mahanadi graben bounded by faults, which have rich coal resources. Some sectors of
the coastal plains are covered by sediments of Tertiary and Quaternary periods besides some low-
level laterite.

17
Gondwana Supergroup comprising Permo-Carboniferous to Lr. Cretaceous coal bearing rocks are
spread over 12,415 sq.km area along the NW – SE trending linear belt in the Mahanadi valley. Three
major basins (Talchir, Ib River and Athgarh) and a number of small patches (outliers) of Gondwana
rocks (Katiringia, Gaisilat, Athmalik, Chhatarpur) in the districts of Angul, Dhenkanal, Sambalpur,
Sundargarh, Phulbani, Baudh, Bolangir, Cuttack, Khurda, Puri and Ganjam, also expose Gondwana
rocks. While the Lower Gondwana rocks are a vast repository of coal, the Upper Gondwana
sandstones have been used as building material for the Lord Jagannath temple at Puri, Lingaraj
temple at Bhubaneswar and partly the Sun Temple at Konark. The Jain caves at Khandagiri and
Udaigiri, located near Bhubaneswar, have also been carved out of these sandstones.
Tertiary formations (Baripada Beds) occur around Baripada town (21o56’ N: 86o44’ E), over a
radius of 8 km in the bed of the Budhabalang river. The Baripada sediments are horizontal to sub-
horizontal in disposition and comprise alternate sets of stratified clay and sand with semi-consolidated
clay, ferruginous grit, soil and occasional marly clay or limestone interbands.
Quaternary formations in the state include volcanic ash beds confined along river valleys, deltas
and coastal plain and attain maximum width of about 100 km in the Mahanadi delta.

MINERAL RESOURCES:
Basemetals - Associated with the Precambrian schists, copper and lead ores mainly occur at Kesarpur
, Mayurbhanj district; Adash, Sambalpur district and Sargipalli (T.S no. 65N/16) in Sundargarh
district respectively.
Bauxite - Orissa accounts for 59% of the total bauxite production of the country. The bauxite deposits
of Orissa are broadly classified into five different categories based on nature of the bed-rock as (i)
Relatively large capping over khondalites, Eastern Ghats Super Group in Koraput, Kalahandi,
Phulbani, Bolangir and Sambalpur districts, (ii) Cappings developed over charnockite, diorite /dioritic
gneisses, Eastern Ghats Super Group in Koraput and Kalahandi districts, (iii) Minor cappings over
Chattishgarh shale in Khariar highlands in Nuapada district, (iv) Minor cappings over mafic volcanics
and shale of Koira Group in Kendujhar – Sundargarh district and (v) Capping over Simlipal volcanic
rocks in Mayurbhanj district.
Beach Sand Minerals - The coastal tracts of Ganjam and Puri districts contain workable
concentration of heavy minerals in the beach and dune sands, which include ilmenite, garnet, rutile,
sillimanite, zircon and monazite.
Cassiterite (Tin Ore) - Cassiterite occurs both as primary and secondary mineralization in
Malkangiri district associated with pegmatites emplaced within the Precambrian Bengpal Group of
rocks and also as the colluvial maters formed out of such pegmatites.
Coal - Orissa has 24% of the total coal resource of the country. The major coal bearing formations in
both Talchir and Ib-river coal fields are Karharbari and Barakar. Talchir Coal field in Angul district is
characterized by east-west running strike faults and in the process, repetition of coal seams has
resulted in increased quarriable potentiality.
Chromite - Orissa holds the first place in reserves position and production of chromite in the country,
contributing to over 97% of the all India output. The deposit yielding metallurgical, refractory and
chemical grade of ores occur within the chromiferous ultramafic rocks emplaced into the Archaean
Badampahar Group of rocks around Sukinda and Nuasahii covering parts of Jajpur, Kendujhar and
Dhenkanal districts.
Gemstones - The Eastern Ghats Granulite belt hosts most of the gemstone occurrences of the state.
Among the several gemstone belts of Orissa, the 25km long Jilingdhar- Hinjilibahal belt, Kalahandi
district is the most important contributing the best quality ruby. Besides deep blue dichroic iolite in
cordierite gneiss, hessonite and zircon in pegmatites traversing calc-granulites, chrysoberyl (Cat’s
eye) in pegmatites traversing pyroxene granulite are the other gemstones of this belt.
Occurrences of emerald, topaz, heliodor and aquamarine associated with low dipping
unzoned pegmatites emplaced in granite gneiss are reported from Bolangir district. Greenish blue to

18
sea blue aquamarine is reported from gemstone tracts of Sonepur district. Rare occurrence of
alexandrite in biotite schist developed along the contact of granite pegmatite and peridotite is reported
from Sambalpur district.
Gold - Gold occurrences of Orissa are confined to mainly placers, though there is evidence of old
mining activity in the northern parts of Orissa, especially in Kendujhar disrtict adjoining Jharkhand.
Occurrence of alluvial gold has been recorded in almost all the districts of Orissa and panning of the
stream sediments in the major rivers has yielded gold.
Graphite - Orissa continues to be the leading producer of graphite accounting for 67% of the
country’s total production. The graphite occurrences are distributed in six belts, viz, Sargipalli,
Titlagarh, Tumudibandh, Nishikal, Muniguda and Dhandatapa belts. Almost the entire production of
high grade graphite is contributed by Sargipalli mine in Baragarh district.
Iron Ore - Orissa has vast reserves of high grade iron-ores. Important iron ore bearing areas are
Thakuranii Pahar, Sidhamat Parbat, Durga Parbat, Joda east and west, Banspani Pahar, Dal Pahar,
north and west of Kurband, Jhiling Pahar, Longlota Pahar, Guali, Kiriburu, Kalta and Gandhamardan.
Kendujhar district, In Sundargarh district, the notable iron ore deposits are in Bonai range viz.
Khandadhar, Malangtoli, Dandrahar Pahar, Taldih, Kalta, Basada, Baliapahar, Badamgarh Pahar,
Hitikuda, Rakmo, Daringburu and Barsuan. In Mayurbhanj district, iron ore deposits are located in
Badampahar, Sulaipat and Gorumahisani areas while Daitari hill is the only iron ore deposit in Jajpur
district. The host rock is banded hematite jasper/ quartzite (BHJ/ BHQ) of Precambrian age.
Limestone and dolomite - Orissa is endowed with vast resources of limestone confined to three
distinct geological settings viz; Gangpur Group, Chattishgarh Supergroup and Eastern Ghats
Supergroup of rocks. One of the most important Precambrian limestone and dolomite deposits of
Orissa occurs associated with Gangpur Group of rocks in Sundergarh district. The lime content in the
rock varies from 30 to 52% while the insoluble and silica show variation from 30 to 35 % and
magnesia up to 15%. Alumina and iron oxide contents never exceed 6 % and 8% respectively.
Manganese - Orissa accounts for one third of the country’s annual production of manganese and
possesses the second largest recoverable manganese resources/ reserve in the country. The manganese
deposits of Orissa, restricted to the Precambrian rocks, occur chiefly in four distinct geographic belts:
(i) the Bonai – Kendujhar Belt in Sundargarh and Kendujhar districts, associated with chert-shale
sequence and laterites, (ii) Kuttinga – Nishikal – Ambadola – Patna belt in Koraput, Kalahandi and
Bolangir districts, associated with Khondalites (iii) Ghoriajhor belt (Gangpur Group) in Sundargarh
district associated with Gonditic rocks and (iv) Bamra subdivision of Sambalpur district associated
with laterite over metasediments.
Nickel - Nickel ores associated with limonitised and silicified ultrabasic rocks occur in Sukinda area,
Jajpur district and within the weathered zone of ultramafic differentiates of the Amjori sill emplaced
in the Simlipal Group of rocks in Simlipal area, Mayurbhanj district.
Platinum – PGE mineralisation has been reported from the ultramafic complexes of Sukinda and
Nuasahi areas located at the trijunction of Kendujhar, Jaipur and Dhenkanal districts. Layered,
differentiated ultramafic to mafic plutons emplaced in stable cratonic blocks of Late Archaean to
early Proterozoic age are most potential for hosting orthomagmatic PGE deposits.
Vanadiferous Magnetite - Deposits of vanadiferous magnetite occurring in association with gabbro-
anorthosite suite of rocks in north Orissa are distributed in five belts viz. (I) Bisoi-Rairangpur, (ii)
Bisoi-Jasipur, (iii) Baripada-Udala in Mayurbhanj district and (iv) Nausahi-Baula and (v) Rangmatia-
Betai in Kendujhar and Balasore districts.

The Geological Survey of India is an attached office of the Ministry of Mines and
undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status as per the recommendation of high
power committee. The organizational structure of GSI is substantially oriented to meet the needs of
specialization as well as multidisciplinary studies by implementing its scientific studies in mission
mode.
The revised organizational structure, submitted by the Committee as accepted by the
Government, is under the process of implementation and is given in the next page.

2.1. ORGANIZATIONAL SET UP OF EASTERN REGION

 The new concept of Mission – Region Hybrid mode of functioning as recommended by the
HPC was partially operationalised in the Eastern Region in FS 2009-10. The FSP calendar has been
modified for the period October 2010 to March 2012 and the period taken up as a single FSP. The
FSP 2010-12 is under implementation in the Eastern region at present and all the opertions being
carried out are as per the Mission – Region hybrid model.

5. FIELD SEASON 2013-14 ACHIEVEMENTS

The FSP 2013-14 of Eastern Region in Mission Mode is uploaded and approved through
GSI Portal and has been executed by concerned Director/Project Heads.

MISSION-I
BIHAR:
1.Title:Specialized Thematic Mapping to find out the western extension of Bathani
volcanosedimentary sequence and its stratigraphic status with respect to
Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex and possible correlation with the Mahakoshal belt
in parts of Aurangabad, Gaya and Palamau district, Bihar and Jharkhand.
FSP NO. : STM/ER/BR/2012/001
Ø A two year programme of Specialized Thematic Mapping on 1:25,000 scale was taken up in
parts of Aurangabad, Gaya, Rohtas districts of Bihar and Palamau district of Jharkhand, falling in
toposheet nos. 72D/2, D/3, D/6 and D/7. An area of 650 sq km was covered during this period with an
objective to find the possible western extension of Bathani volcano-sedimentary sequence and its
stratigraphic status with respect to the Chhotanagpur gneissic complex (CGC) and to work out its
possible correlation with Mahakoshal belt, if any.
Ø The lithounits exposed in the area are mainly granitoids and gneisses with isolated patches of
metasedimentary units like garnet bearing sillimanite schist, garnet bearing biotite schist, banded
magnetite quartzite and bands of calc-silicate rocks. Xenoliths of amphibole-pyroxene granulite and
amphibolite are observed in the southern part of the area. These granitoids and the gneisses are later
intruded by basic dykes, chert, pegmatites and quartz veins.
Ø To the southern extremity of the mapped area, an alternating sequence of shale and sandstone is
observed exposed in a river section trending N800W/100NE. This is separated from the gneisses and
younger granitoids by a ridge of brecciated and silicified chert, trending N800E-S800W. This ridge is
marked as a boundary fault between the CGC in the north and Gondwana to the south.
Ø In general, four sets of foliations are observed, though the four sets are not preserved in all the
exposures. S1, trends NE-SW (varying from N100E to N350E), with moderately steep dips (51° to 66°)
towards south east. The dominant foliation in the mapped area (S2) trends NE-SW (varying from
N400E to N650E) dipping moderately (51° to 66°). There is local variation in dip direction; both
northerly and southerly dips are recorded, though southerly dips are more common in the southern
part of the area. This is cut across by ENE-WSW (varying from N700E to E-W) trending foliation (S3)
with steep dips (72° to 88°) towards south. Another set of foliation is observed, mostly within the
gneisses trending NW-SE (varying from N400W to N800W), dipping moderately (45° to 60°) towards
NE. This foliation is probably older than S1 but it could not be related to any deformation event in the
area because of lack of field evidences.
Ø Two parallel shear zones have been reported, with apparent dextral movement and their trend
being ENE-WSW. The shearing event is associated with the development of phyllonite. In general, the
trend of mylonitic foliation is N800E with stretching lineation plunging 68°→N720E. At places,
formation of S-C fabric is observed with C plane trending N800E and S plane trending N620E. The
effects of shearing is also observed in form of ∂ and σ structures of the rotated porphyroclasts,
stretched grains of quartz, quartz ribbon within the granites and granite gneisses.
Ø A possible western extension of Bathani Volcano-sedimentary sequence as envisaged in the
objective has not been observed in the study area during the course of geological mapping. Hence no
correlation could be made with the Mahakoshal Group of Rocks.

2.Title:Specialised Thematic Mapping To examine inter-relationship
Between granitic phase vis-à-vis mafic and felsic volcanics in the northern
periphery of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex (CGC), in parts of
Aurangabad and Gaya Districts, Bihar.
(F.S.P. Code No: STM/ER/BR/2012/002)
Ø In pursuance of the field season programme of Geological Survey of India for F. S.
2012-13 & 2013-14 (Code No. STM/ER/BR/2012/002), Specialised Thematic Mapping
was taken up in parts of Aurangabad and Gaya districts of Bihar falling in SOI toposheets
nos. 72 D/10 & 11 to examine the inter-relationship between granitic phase vis-à-vis mafic
and felsic volcanics in the northern periphery of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex
(CGC). An area of 650 km2 was mapped on scale 1:25000. 100 nos. of GCS, 50 nos. of
PCS samples were collected and submitted for analysis and 50 nos. of petrological thin
sections were prepared for petrographic studies. Further, EPMA studies of 20 petrological
samples were carried out.
Ø The area consists chiefly of three granitoid components with subordinate outcrops of
granulite, migmatites and granite gneiss of Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex, meta
basic, meta ultrabasic, Banded Carbonate Chert and rocks of Gondwana Supergroup. These
rocks are intruded by pegmatite and quartz veins/reef.Meta basic rocks and meta ultrabasic
rock occur as small elongate patches within the granites. Meta ultrabasic rocks meta
pyroxenite only. Meta basic rocks are represented by amphibolite, hornblende schist,
gabbro and chlorite schist. Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex comprises, granite gneiss,
granitoids, granulite, migmatites. Granulite, migmatites and granite gneiss occur as patches
within the granites. The normative QAP classification and the An-Ab-Or plot of the
samples show that all the samples plot within the granite fields. On the AFM plot the
samples show a clear tholiitic trend. It is clear from the A/CNK vs. SiO2 plots that granites
are S-type in origin.
Ø Banded Carbonate Chert as an isolated patch within granite country rocks has been
reported from north of Shakarpur village in south eastern part of the toposheet 72D/10. The
BCC is intruded by quartzo felspathic veins which are parallel to the chert bands or have a
cross cutting relationship. Sandstone and shale intercalation representing Gondwana
Supergroup is observed to the SE of Barka Karasan village, in Surahar river section. A
major boundary fault is marked separating the gneisses to the north and the sedimentary
rocks (sandstone shale alterations) of Gondwana to the south, near Kuinbar village (72
D/11). The fault is marked by a ridge formed by fault breccia trending E-W.
Ø Silicified/Cataclastic rock has been observed to the area WNW of Gobardhanpur and
south of Baheratola village, which were earlier reported as acid volcanic and pyroclastic
rocks, namely, rhyolite and crystal tuff. It is highly brecciated and is traversed by numerous
secondary quartz- feldspathic veins.
Ø The evidence of shearing is well preserved in the study area. The manifestation of
shearing is preserved in the form of mylonitization, presence of stretched quartz, quartz
ribbon, porphyroclasts and S-C fabric. Phyllonite is observed to the north of Paranpur-
Makdatola, around Ahiratola-Pachma and around Karamdih, earlier reported as phyllites.
These occur as small discontinuous, elongate patches within the granitic rocks. The
phyllonites are indicative of shearing with retrograde metamorphism.
Ø The primary sedimentary structure, bedding (S0) is well preserved in shale and
sandstone of Gondwana Supergroup. The strike of the bedding is NW-SE, dipping 6-80
towards north east. Structurally, the gneisses, granitic rocks and phyllonites have undergone
three phases of deformation. The first phase of deformation is marked by tight isoclinal
upright F1 folds having sub vertical axial planes. This resulted in development of the axial
planar cleavage (S1) in the granite gneiss, trending N650E/750SE. The second phase of
deformation is represented by subvertical to steep, southerly dipping axial planar cleavage,
producing foliation trending N850E/820N. The third deformation event is inferred on the
basis of the NE-SW trending axial planar cleavages, trending N30E/810SE, developed as

49
result of open warp like folds with sub-vertical plunge towards south.
Ø Samples of metapyroxenite from Masuribad area show high value of Cr and Ni.
Three samples analyzed have given 954ppm, 2900ppm & 2767ppm values for Chromium
(Cr) and 305ppm, 1421ppm & 1422ppm values for Nickel (Ni). Metapyroxenite from
Baratanr area also show high value for Cr 2900ppm and Ni 400ppm.

Special Thematic Mapping

Title: Specialised Thematic Mapping of Tamar Porapahar Shear Zone (TPSZ) in

Tiruldih-Tamar-Hemram-area in Ranchi and Khunti districts, Jharkhand with
special emphasis on structural manifestation and locating favorable areas of
associated Au, Cu, REE mineralization ( Code No STM/ER/JH/2012/001)

52
Highlights:
Mapped area covers volcano-metsedimentary sequences between the
Singhbhum craton in the south and the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex in the
north which has undergone low to medium grade metamorphism and belongs to
Paleo to Meso Proterozoic age. This is an important lithostratigraphic domain
within the North Singhbhum Mobile Belt (NSMB) which is about 50 km wide
and 200 km long and has an average E-W trend with a convexity towards north.
It comprises a thick volcano-sedimentary sequence of pelites, psammopelites,
mafic-ultramafic and acid lavas. These rocks of NSMB are clubbed within two
groups, the Singhbhum Group (SG) with Chaibasa and Dhalbhum Formations
(Sarkar and Saha, 1962) and the Dalma Group with Lower and Upper Dalma
Formations (Gupta et al., 1980). These volcano-sedimentary sequence of
Phyllite/tuff is intensely sheared with basic and acidic intrusives. The northern
contact of volcano-sedimentary sequence of Singhbhum Group with
Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex is marked by Tamar-Porapahar Shear Zone
(TPSZ). It extends from Tamar in Ranchi district of Jharkhand to Porapahar in
Bankura district of West Bengal through Saraikela - Kharsawan and East
Singhbhum district of Jharkhand and Purulia district of West Bengal. The Tamar-
Porapahar Shear Zone (TPSZ) follows an arcuate pattern with WNW-ESE in the
eastern part and ENE-WSW trend in the western part.

STM/ER/JH/2012/002)

Highlights:
Geologically the area forms a part of North Singhbhum Mobile Belt (NSMB) of Palaeo to
Meso proterozoic age. The area consists of lower Singhbhum Group and upper Dalma
Group. The Singhbhum Group is divided into Lower Sighbhum Formation which is
equivalent to Chaibasa Formation and Upper Singhbhum Formation or Dhalbhum
Formation. The Dalma Group is divided into Lower and Upper Dalma formations. The
lithologies observed are greenish grey coloured chlorophyllite-quartzite association of
Dalbhum Formation to the south of Dalma Volcanics. grey, purple tuff, talc schist,
metabasalt, ultramafics of Lower Dalma Formation and Schistose and massive
agglomerate of Upper Dalma Formation. To the south of Dalma Volcanics, the low lying
areas are consists of grey to greenish grey coloured chlorophyllite, the quartzite forming
an almost continuous linear ridge from east of Saharbera to the north of Mirjadih. This
quartzite is light grey to light pink in colour, arkosic in nature, mostly massive, at places
foliated. In some places ferruginization is also observed. In the north of Dalma Volcanics,
the thick quartzite band present to the southeast of Kaira, south of Baghra is different.
Here the colour varies from milky white to smoky. At places it is also cherty in nature.
The smoky quartzite shows some sulphide stains.The dominant foliation in the area is S0
parallel S1. In the northern part of dalma volcanic its strike varies from N80W-S80E to N-
S and dips vertical to 600 towards south and east, whereas in the southern part of Dalma
volcanic the S0//S1 strike varies from N600E-S600W to N750W-S750E and dips vertical to
350 towards north. An outcrop scale F2 fold is observed in quartzite along Bamni nala
section to the south of Kadamdih. The fold plunges 650 towards S300E. In the lineament

53
zone to the east of Junangsahi along the nala trending N450 W evidences of late
silicification are found in the form of crosscutting veins, ferruginization of quartz veins,
evidences of slickenside on certain planes are observed.

Highlights: Geomorphologically the area is characterized by dissected hilly and roiling plateau. The
general slope of the area is towards south and south-east direction. The drainage in the area is
controlled mainly by the Karo River that flow into the area from adjoining basins. The drainage
pattern developed in this area is dendritic.The oldest rock encountered in the area is unclassified
metamorphics represented by hornblende schist and amphibolites, crystalline limestone, mica schist,
quartzites and quartz schists forming the basement rock in the area. The overlying Chhotanagpur
Gneissic Complex comprising granite gneisses form the most widespread rock outcrop in the area.
Pegmatite and quartz veins have intruded the gneisses as well as the metasedimentary enclaves.
Recent alluvial sediments occur as river terrace deposits along the bank of the rivers. Coarse sand and
gravel, mixed with sandy silt and silty clay, with some pebbles of laterite, and granite gneiss makeup
the lithology of these terrace deposits.
Finally the target is achieved by the 31st March.

Title: - Specialized Thematic Mapping of the terrain south of Mahanadi graben in Takara-
Daspalla-Arhakata segment of Eastern Ghats mobile Belt in central Odisha to understand
Precambrian Evolution of the Mahanadi Tectonic Zone (MTZ)
Item no: STM/ER/ODS/2013/001.
Highlights: An area of 360 sq km on 1:25000 scale has been mapped (TS No.73 D/15) during the field
season 2013-14. The area comprises mainly khondalite, charnokite, and granite gneiss. The major
lithounits exposed in the Eastern Ghat area are briefed below.
(i) high-grade metapelite gneisses/schists interbanded with minor quartzite (± Grt ± Sil) belonging
to the Khondalite Group,

(ii) medium grained gneissic charnockite, enderbite, blastoporphyritic to porphyroblastic

megacrystic charnockite with K-feldspar megacrysts, mafic two-pyroxene granulite and their variants
belonging to the Charnockite Suite and

(iii) medium grained migmatitic granite gneisses, garnetiferous megacrystic granite gneiss and
leptynite.Mahanadi Shear Zone (MSZ) was traced from Bindhagiri to Dhipasahi for a length of ~24km
with width varying from 700m to 2km.. It is mostly confined within charnockite unit. Apart from that it
has affected some parts of the granite gneiss bordering the charnockite. Shear zone was manifested by
the presence of protomylonite-mylonite-ultramylonite zones and asymmetric porphyroclaststs and
pseudotachylite. The mylonitic fabric strikes WNW (N50°W to N75°W) and has moderate to steep dip
(45° to 80°) towards north-east.

Title: Specialized thematic mapping in Riamal -Rengali-Lodhajhari area in the marginal

zone between Singhbhum craton and Eastern Ghats Mobile belt, Angul-Deogarh Districts,
Odisha
Item Code No-STM/ER/ORS/2012/002

Highlights:The mapped area primarily composed of high grade metamorphic rocks (upper

56
 amphibolites to granulite facies) at the central part of the studied area with low grade rocks
(green schist to lower amphibolites facies) on either side north and south of it. The central
part on either side separated by major tectonic zones. In the southern extremity of the
mapped area rocks of Gondwana Super Group are exposed and.
At the two localities viz. Arakhapal and Kanhaidana( T.S 73 C/16 & C/15),
cordierite- jaderite- andalusite bearing high Mg-Fe rich hornfels has been reported. Based on
the present study it is observed that the area consists of a distinct set of lithological units
separated from each other by major tectonic zones. The high grade litho-assemblages which
are having features distinct from both the characteristic Eastern Ghats mobile belt and the
Singhbhum craton (presence of more arenaceous facies and absence of Khondalite facies),
could possibly represent the exhumed root zone of craton.
Evidences of poly phase deformation in the area also have been recorded.

1. PROJECT: SIWALIK
Title: Delineation of lithostratigraphic units of Siwalik Belt in Darjeeling District, West Bengal..
(Code No. STM/ER/WBAN/2013/001)

Heighlights:The physical target is fully achieved and field work is completed.

The major findings are: Good exposures of Middle Siwalik (Geabdat Sandstone) and Upper
Siwalik (Prabu Grit) are found in Sivok Road and in Lish Nadi sections. However, Lower
Siwalik (Chunabati Formation) is found only in Sivok Road at the confluence area of
Kalijhora nala with Tista River. Lower Siwalik is represented by alternate bands of fine
grained sandstone and dark grey coloured calcrete bearing mudstone. Middle Siwalik is
represented by grey coloured, medium grained multistoried sandstone and showing pepper-salt
texture. Planar bedding, tabular cross bedding and trough cross bedding are common in this
sandstone. Thin to thick intercalated bands of mudstone/ sandy mudstones are commonly
present within this sheeted sandstone sequence. The well bedded sandstone or hetrolith of
Middle Siwalik preserved load-structures and convolute laminations (PCD) probably
developed due seismic activity. Upper Siwalik is coarse to very coarse grained sandstone and
gritty in nature. Thin to thick pebble bands or conglomerate bands (1m to ~5m) are commonly
found within the Upper Siwalik arkosic sandstone. Besides small pocket of lag-conglomerate
and discontinuous thin pebble beds are also found within this sandstone. However, no
continuous sequence of Siwalik Group is exposed in Sivak Road section as well as in Lish
Nadi section. In Sivok Road section Lower Siwalik is found structurally above the Upper
Siwalik. This suggests the contact between the two is a thrust / reverse fault, along which
Lower Siwalik is ride above the Upper Siwalik. A large number of burrows of different
diameter (2mm to 5cm) and orientation; and a large number of plants leaves and stem
impressions are found within the mudstones of Lower & Middle Siwaliks.

GCM/ER/WBAN/2013/001)

61
Highlights:
The study area of T.S. 78 B/1 & B/5 is represented by different units of central Crystalline
Gneissic complex. Biotite gneiss is the oldest rock type of Central Crystalline Gneissic
Complex. Three rock types, muscovite-biotite schist, carbonaceous mica schist and
garnetiferous mica schist have been considered equivalent of Chungthang Formation. Greenish
to grey coloured slates belonging to Reyang Formation of Daling Group are intercalated with
bands of quartzites of variable thickness. The Damuda Group (equivalent to Barakar, Barren
Measures & Ranigunj formations) of Gondwana Super Group contains grayish to brownish
medium grade felspathic and micaceous sandstone, shale and seams of coal. Gondwanas are
intruded by mica peridotite. The Siwalik sediments contain brownish, buff, grey to bluish grey
soft and friable micaceous sandstone. General structural trend is an overall E-W strike with
moderate dip towards north. The main boundary thrust marks the northern contact of Siwalik
and overlying Gondwanas. The Quaternaries spread south of the foothills where the terrain
depicts a highly dissected undulatory topography with a southern slope
2.Title: Regional Geochemical mapping of Toposheet no. 78B/05 & 78B/09 around Kalijhora,
Bagrakot & Odlabari area in parts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri districts, W.B. (Code No.
GCM/ER/WBAN/2013/002)

Highlights:

The Central Crystalline Gneissic complex is the oldest rock type in the area. It is
constituted of the Darjeeling Gneiss and Chungthang Formation. Darjeeling Gneiss is
represented as biotite gneiss and is present in the northwestern part of the area. The equivalent
of Chungthang Formation is represented by two rock types, a) Muscovite-biotite schist. b)
Garnetferrous mica schist. These have been observed as small but continous bands at south of
the biotite gneiss. The Gorubathan Formation of Daling Group are represented by chlorite-
sericite schist occupies the southern part of the area.
The Damuda Group (equivqlent to Barakar, Barren Measures & Ranigunj formations)
of Gondwana Supergroup occurs as a linear band structurally overlying the Siwaliks and the
underlying Daling Group. The Siwalik sediments are soft and friable micaceous sandstone
often with a salt and pepper appearance due to the presence of profuse biotite, muscovite and
light coloured grains of feldspar and quartz. However, from the available literature study it is
reported as a structural discontinuity surface manifested as the Main Boundary Thrust. The
Quaternaries spread south of the foothills where the terrain depicts a dissected undulatory
topography with a southern slope.

3.Title: Regional Geochemical mapping of Toposheet no. 78A/16 & 78B/13 around Gairibas,
Tangta & Chalsa Mahabari area in parts of Darjeling district, West Bengal.
. (Code No. GCM/ER/WBAN/2013/003)

Highlights:

The Central Crystalline Gneissic Complex is the oldest rock type in the area. It is
constituted of Chungthang Formation. The rocks of the area are mainly high grade banded
gneisses with occasional presence of augen gneiss. Daling Group of rocks consisting Reyang
and the Gorubathan formations are observed. These are made up of slates intercalated with
quartzite followed by chlorite- sericite- quartz schist.The pervasive planer structures present
in the area are gneissosity and fracture cleavage/crenulations cleavage.
Quaternary sediments cover almost the entire area other than the northern and

62
norhwestern part where Central Crystalline, Daling and Siwaliks are exposed. The
Quaternary deposits within the area are glacial, fluvioglacial and fluvial. All the three above
stages have lately been grouped under Duars formation.
The target area area has been geochemically mapped in 1: 50000 scale by systematic
sampling .

40 sq km area in T.S. 78A/16 could not be covered as the area falls within wild life
sanctuary. Moreover the area was not accessible due to dense forest.

4.Title: Regional Geochemical mapping of Toposheet no. 73I/6 & I/2 around Jaynagar area in
parts of Puruliya district, West Bengal & Saharpura, Sindurpeti & Goaldih area in parts of
Dhanbad district, Jharkhand (Code No. GCM/ER/WBAN/2013/004).

From the regional geological traverse it is found that most of the area is covered by Chhotanagpur
Gneissic Complex. This granite gneiss is mainly porphyroclastic in nature and the composition of
porphyroclasts is pink to grey feldspar. These porphyroclasts are elongated and parallel to the foliation
plane. The medium grained granite gneiss is composed of mainly grey feldspar and colourless quartz.
Other rock types present in the area are mica-schist, quartzite, and hornblende schist, amphibolites,
pegmatite and quartz vein. Mica schist is medium to coarse grained and occur as linear patches.
Quartzite is exposed in eastern and southern part of the area. These are medium to fine grained, hard
and compact and show compositional banding. At places granites encloses bands and lenses of
amphibolites. It is greenish black, medium to coarse grained and rich in crystals of hornblende.
Pegmatite and quartz vein have been observed within almost all type of rocks found in the area. Quartz
in the quartz vein is milky white and in the pegmatite it is colourless. These veins are parallel to the
foliation plane. In the Northwest part of the study area Gondwana rocks are exposed and are lie over
Precambrian metamorphics. Conglomerates, sandstone, shale and coal are exposed at places.

CRUISE SR-003 :
An area of 16110 Sq.Km. was covered in Area-1 during the period from 01/03/2014 to
12/03/2014 using Deep Water Multi Beam Echo Sounder (DWMBES) using 12 KHz frequency. The

65
water depth of the area ranges between 1000 m to 3088 m. The Sewell Rise in the northwestern part
of the area is expressed in the form of a series of six ridges with an highest elevation of about 900 m
above the seafloor. Among these five ridges are prominent and two of them along the western part
trend NE-SW whereas the other three disposing in the eastern part has got an east-westerly trend. An
isolated ridge with a NE-SW trend is seen along the extreme northwestern part of the area. These
ridges are parallel to each other, discontinuous and are separated by intermittent valleys and seafloor
with moderately steep gradient. The two major ridges are separated by a distance of 7 to 8 Km where
the sea floor has a gradient of 1:66 towards south-east. Their parallel disposition to the back-arc
spreading centers of central Andaman basin unequivocally suggest their origin in consequence to
back-arc spreading. The southern part of the study area is also bordered by ridges which are part of
Margui ridge and is depicted in the form of three parallel ridges trending in an almost NNW-SSE
direction. This possibly points towards an origin which is not similar to that of the ridges associated
with the Sewell Rise. Here in this domain the ridges are having lesser elevation than in Sewell Rise.
Their trend parallel to the major axis of subduction in this area could be suggestive of their origin due
to subduction of Indo-Australian plate below South East Asian plate. The maximum elevation
recorded in this area above the seafloor is about 500 m. The ridges are separated by intermittent linear
planes with an interspacing of 7.7 Km among the first two and 5 Km between the middle and last
from east to west. The general gradient of the seafloor in this area is towards north-west with a slope
of 1:81.The central part lying between Sewell Rise and Margui Ridge has a deep seafloor with a
gentle northerly gradient. In this domain, there are a number of parallel, narrow linear 3ridges
trending in an almost NNW-SSE direction. These ridges are disposed parallel to West Andaman Fault
system and possibly represent sub-seafloor volcanic activity along a series of lineaments trending
parallel to this fault system. In this part, the seafloor has a maximum depth of 2700 m and minimum
of 2259 m. A few of the ridges extending from the Margui ridge towards NNE-SSW, ultimately joins
with the Sewell rise in the north. The seafloor along the northern part of the study area shows a
southeasterly gradient where as in the southern part the seafloor gradient is towards northwest. This
change in gradient has resulted in the formation of a deeper basin in the central area, which shows a
slight tilt towards the NE, possibly due to basinal rotation in consequence to neo-tectonism.

Highlight of work:
The acquisition computer of the multibeam echosounder was found non-functioning and
found that the I/O module inside the 7150 Sonar Processor has to be replaced. Due to non-availability
of spare parts onboard the multibeam survey was suspended. After discussing with DDG, M&CSD,
Manglore ship again sailed for magnetic survey and sampling. Magnetic survey started at 9:20 Hrs on
18-11-13 and ended at 3:10Hrs on 25-11-13 covering 1321 LKm. Sediment and water sampling was
carried out despite bad weather due to depression near Port Blair.
Single beam Bathymetric Survey.
Depth data including time, lat-long and depth for every five minutes were noted and prepared
bathymetric profiles and map. From the study of the bathymetric profiles, the area has two distinct
geomorphologic features viz; the Irrawaddy basin in the west and series of ridges and mounts on the
east. The basin shows a gentle slope towards south and the width of the basin varies from 20 Km to
50 Km. The ridges and mounts are of varying heights and the western boundary of the basin is
seemed to be faulted.

TITLE OF THE PROGRAMME: “Seabed and Geophysical Mapping of Continental Shelf
Region off West Bengal with an Emphasis on down Core Sediment and Faunal Study to
Distinguish the Sea Level Fluctuation.”

Cruise Period: Cruise started on 11/01/2014 and survey work continued in February 2014.
During the cruise ST-232, 246 lkm of magnetic and bathymetric data were collected along seven EW and
one NS traverses off Ganges Delta, Bay of Bangal. A total of 107 lkm of shallow seismic reflection data
has also been acquired during the same leg of the cruise along three EW and one NS traverses. Often, the
traverses are detoured because of intense fishing activity in the area.
The variation in total field magnetic values in the area is 131 nT (4479 nT to 4429 nT) and along the
profiles (32 km long) the values of magnetic field varies from 20 nT (Southern profile) to 117 nT (northern
profile). The profiles are monotonous indicating homogeneous and very deep seated magnetic basement
underneath the continental shelf.
The bathymetric data ranges in value from 73.6 to 36.2 m. The area smoothly deepens
southeasterly except for a minor kink at the central part trending NE-SW, which is noticed by an abrupt fall
in the gradient.
Shallow seismic reflection survey using 250 J of energy for 250.8 lkm brings out two distinct sediment
zones viz., stratified and undisturbed sediment column of variable thickness in the SE and sediment column
with hummocky reflectors, disturbed and uneven sedimentation and erosional/structural features in the NW
as well as underneath the stratified sediment in the area under consideration.

TITLE OF THE PROGRAMME: Geotechnical appraisal off Satpara, Odisha
Cruise Period: 30.11.2013 to 12.12.2013
Highlight of work:
Seismic and bathymetry surveys were carried out simultaneously along thirteen coast perpendicular
and two coast parallel transects, covering a total of 150 line km each. Coast perpendicular traverses

68
 varied in length between 9 and 10 km, with 1km interval. Length of the coast parallel lines was
approximately 13 km, with 4 km interval.
Seabed Morphology:
Bathymetry survey in the area shows a steep slope in the near shore up to 15m water depth, up to a
distance of about 2 km from the coast. Beyond 15m water depth, the seafloor is very gently sloping,
resembling step-like platform, almost parallel to the coast, for about 4.5 to 5 km distance. Further
offshore, from 19 to 26m water depth, there is gradual slope in the seafloor. Water depth ranges
between 4.77 and 26.46 m in the study area.

Shallow Seismic:
Preliminary observation from the shallow seismic analog records reveals that the seafloor is dipping
towards sea and indicates sandy subsurface. Two to three sub-bottom reflectors have been identified
in this area. A coast parallel submerged palaeo-ridge has been observed over the area around 20 m
water depth.
Sediment characteristics:
The sediments in the vibro cores comprise mainly buff coloured, fine and very fine grained sand in
the nearshore and medium and coarse grained sand further offshore. Core lengths of the vibro cores
vary between 0.60 and 2.42 m. The grab sample sediments are also buff coloured, medium and coarse
grained sand with shell fragments.

Highlight of work:
The change of shoreline in the Sunderban delta is an important aspect of research during
recent times. The prograde or retrograde nature of the deltaic environment needs to be understood for
development of the islands to protect villages and people. The sea-ward islands between Matla river
in east and Saptamukhi river in west possess evidences of land-sea interaction in Ganga Delta need to
be explored by measuring cross and longitudinal profiles from bathymetric data collected. The change
of shape and depth of thalwegs can be described. Other aspects also need to be studied during the
field season are mentioned below. Some of them has been studied prior to and during the survey.
a. Study of the mouth of the minor creeks, whether they are aggraded or deep enough.
b. Comparison of drainage and landform disposition over the years and spatial status of minor
creeks, aggradation and new landforms along creeks, with the help of toposheets images.
c. Traced the navigational route map to delineate the changes in last 100 years and the present
status of Indo-Bangla international navigational route and also to assess the future status of the
same.
d. Collected salinity and conductivity data from integrated tide cycle to generate profiles and to
compare downstream profiles with profiles from upper reaches of trunk channels.
e. For wave-drifted sediments, type of sediment and distance upto which it reaches, have been
studied.
f. Studied the deposition and tidal flow pattern at meandering bends of trunk channels.
g. Local enquiry has been continuously done for identifying Aaila affected areas, bank collapse
and erosion, history of tidal flooding as far as possible.

70
 h. Comparison of channel bedforms (as deduced from earlier bathymetric survey) of upper
reaches with lower reaches in the same trunk channel.
i. Regional profiling across creeks – one to be taken along E-W and one along N-S to find the
regional slope. Land survey will calculate the benchmark height and connect the benchmarks to
measure reduced level height in selected places.

TITLE OF THE PROGRAMME: Study of changes in the nature and morphology of east and
west facing beaches of South Andaman Islands in response to tectonic disturbances and beach
processes.

Highlight of work:
Beach Profiles:
Study of beach profiles revealed that except the southernmost Mundapahar Beach, all the east and
west facing beaches are narrow with average beach width 35m. The Mundapahar Beach, 3.2 km north
of Chidiyatapu is the widest beach of the area. The maximum beach width of Mundapahar is
approximately 100m. Comparison of beach profile data of Wandoor and Corbyn’s Cove Area with

71
ER Profiles taken in 2004 revealed that beach erosion is predominant in Wandoor area while
deposition is taking place in Corbyn’s Cove area. Further studies are in progress.
Repeat Profiles (post monsoon data) were collected during November 2013. Study of profile
data for seasonal variation revealed changes in the profile section of Corbyn’s Cove area particularly
after the Cyclone “Lahar” where erosion of beach in the fore shore part is prominent.
Sedimentological Studies:
Sedimentogical studies revealed that the samples are very poorly sorted to moderately sorted, very
fine skewed to coarse skewed and platy kurtic to very lepto kurtic samples. The studied samples
mainly consist of terrigenous materials (95 to 100%). Biogenic component vary from 0 to 5%. Almost
all samples are constituted of mainly quartz (50 to 60 %), calcite (20 to 30%), feldspar (5 to 10%) and
rock fragments.
Conclusion:
1) Zone of emergences in the west facing beaches and submergences in the east facing beaches
could be picked up from the studies of satellite imageries.
2) Evidences of upliftment and submergences could be noticed in west and east facing beaches
of South Andaman area.
3) The beach sediments are mixed sediments; both altered sub-rounded leached as well as fresh
angular to sub-angular grains present in the sample.
4) Study of core logs revealed that cobble to boulder size materials within the dune sand at
about 0.3 m b.s.f. High energy waves (may be tsunami) contributed for such occurrence.
5) Paleontological studies indicate sediments from the inner shelf (~30m) were scooped by high
energy waves (possibly tsunami waves) and deposited along with older sediments.
6) Zone of erosion and accretion could be identified by comparison of beach profile data of New
Wandoor and Corbyn’s Cove Beaches.

 HIGHLIGHTS OF MINERAL INVESTIGATIONS:

SU:BIHAR

1.Title:Preliminary Search For Gold Mineralization Along And Adjoining Jhajha-Jamui Shear Zone At
Northeast Of Sono Area, Jamui District, Bihar (G4). (Code no. ME / ER / BR / 2013 / 001)
Heighlights:

Ø Preliminary search for gold mineralization along and adjoining Jhajha-Jamui

shear zone, NE of Sono area, Jamui district, Bihar had been taken up as a follow up
programme of earlier work including NGCM. The work was carried out by Geetanjali Rana
and Fayazudeen P.J., Geologist, as per the annual field season programme 2013-14 of GSI,
code no. ME / ER / BR / 2013 / 001, item no.041 by means of large scale geological
mapping (LSM) on 1:12,500 scale, bed rock sampling, stream sediment sampling,
petrological sampling along with pitting/trenching. LSM of an area of 100 km2 was carried
out in three separate blocks i.e. Block-X and Block-Y falling in toposheet no. 72L/5, Block-Z
in parts of toposheet no. 72L/6 with an objective to assess the potentiality of gold and
associated base metal mineralization in LSM area.
Ø The area of investigation forms the northeastern part of the well-known
“Bihar Mica Belt (BMB)” lying over Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex (CGC). Block-X
exposes different lithounits includes ortho amphibolite, porphyritic granite, breeciated-
silicified quartzite and younger intrusives of pegmatite and quartz veins, Block-Y of granite
gneiss of CGC, basal conglomerate, mica schist (+garnet), micaceous quartzite, foliated
amphibolite, amphibole bearing ferruginous quartzite of BMB, intrusives of ortho
amphibolites, granitoids, younger intrusives and granite gneiss, mica schist (+garnet),
foliated amphibolite, garnet bearing grunerite quartzite, amphibole bearing ferruginous
quartzite, meta gabbro, ortho amphibolite, dolerite, porphyritic granite, medium grained
granite and younger intrusives in Block-Z .
Ø In Block-X, porphyritic granite mainly occupies the flat area and northern
slope of the NW-SE trending hill ranges. The linear, discontinuous bodies of breeciated-
silicified quartzite are exposed within porphyritic granite along NW-SE direction
characterized by intense silicification, brecciation and wall rock alterations. In Block-Y, a
basal conglomerate is well exposed in marginal portion of metasedimentary unit of BMB
which overlies the CGC Group of granite gneiss exposed which may mark the hiatus
between the CGC and the BMB possibly defining its basin boundary. The breeciated-
silicified quartzite mainly found within granitoids from Kalijugha to Dhamna villages.
Kyanite bearing quartz vein exposed in mica schist in the metasedimentary unit defines the
EW trending shear zone in the area. In Block-Z, granite gneiss is overlain by the
metasedimentary units of BMB Group of rocks.
Ø Bedding parallel foliation (S0 || S1) shows NW-SE with moderate to steep dip

76
towards NE and E-W with moderate southerly dip in Block-Y and block-Z respectively. The
trend of S1 varies from ENE-WSW through NS to WNW-ESE direction with moderate to
steep dip on either side in the three blocks and S2 planes shows NE-SW with steep westerly
dip, in Block-Y and NE-SW with steep dip in Block-X and NW-SE with moderate to steep
southerly dip in Block-Z. The F1 fold is rarely found in ferruginous quartzite in Block-Z, F2
tight to open, gently plunging to steeply inclined type in ferruginous quartzite, ortho
amphibolite and mica schist, granite gneiss and granitoids with gentle to moderate plunge
towards SW, SE and NE in Block-Y and NW in Block-Z, broad warp F3 fold in
porphyroblastic granite in Block-Y along with minor strike slip faults at places. The area has
undergone multiphase deformation.
Ø The manifestation of mineralization is characterized by sulphide
mineralization, carbonatization, silicification and ferruginisation with/without wall rock
alterations such as sericitisation and limonitisations. The sulphide minerals mainly include
pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and marcasite occur in the form of disseminated specks,
stringers and clusters whereas the oxides include magnetite, goethite and psilomelane. Three
discontinuous sulphide hosted oxidised zones of variable dimensions have been demarcated
within garnet bearing grunerite quartzite, from NW of Tilbariya to SW of Raghunatha village
in Block-Z. These zones OZ-I, II & III are having the different dimensions of 450mx20 m,
200mx15m and 375mx15m respectively. Apart from these, numerous smaller outcrops have
also found in the mapped area. The available analytical results of 118 nos. of bed rock (114)
and trench (04) samples out of 386 nos. of total sample, reveals Au concentration ranges
from <50ppb (93 nos.) to 112 ppb (1no.). The highest Au value of 112 ppb is recorded from
garnet bearing grunerite quartzite to the N of Tilbariya in Block-Z. Besides Au, results of Cu,
Ag, Pb and Zn for 192 nos. of samples have also been received till date. The result reveals
maximum value range from 858-1225 ppm (3 nos.) for Cu, <0.5-6 ppm for Ag , <5-86 ppm
for Pb and 13-431 ppm for Zn.

Gold value of 60ppb to 750ppb, in Gosari-Ghutwe area has been reported.

Subsurface probing in the form of Scout drilling over 2.415 km strike length brought out few
mineralized zones of 220ppb (1.14m), 350ppb (1.20m), 190ppb (1.55m) 170ppb (7.72m) and
121ppb (1.06m), in Gosari-Ghutwe block. Results are not very encouraging to continue follow-up
work.
2.Title:
Investigation for Gold in volcano-sediments, volcanics and associated plutonic rocks
around Majhauli – Ajaynagar – Ghansura area of Gaya district, Bihar (G4).(Code no.
ME/ER/BR/2013/002).

77
Ø Detailed mapping (DM) of 0.75Km2 on 1:1000 scale along with scout drilling was
taken up as part of FS: 2013-14 to determine the gold mineralisation in part of toposheet no.
72H/5/NW, Bathani block, Gaya district, Bihar. DM was carried out in two different blocks
namely Majhauli (0.20Km2) and Ghansura (0.55Km2) blocks along with systematic grid
sampling including pit sampling (325 nos.), channel sampling (210 nos.) and trench
sampling (26 nos.). DM blocks were also covered by geophysical (IP & SP) survey of
60lkm area.

Ø Majhauli block exposes tuff, lensoidal banded iron formation (BIF), tuff-BIF
associate and tuffaceous phyllite surrounded by soil. The dominant S1// S0 fabric trends in
N50ºE- S50ºW direction with steep northerly dip. Tuff and tuff-BIF associate shows
brecciation and wall rock alteration effects of silicification, limonitisation, carbonatisation
and yellow ochre. Thin silicified veins within tuff are occasionally pyritiferous. Two long
old workings/ prospecting pits within altered tuff and tuff-BIF associate in Majhauli block
are parallel to the strike of the rocks. Ghansura block exposes banded carbonate chert
(BCC), mica schist+garnet/staurolite, tuffaceous phyllite, calc-silicate, rhyolite, basalt with
pillow and felsic occellus structure, pyroclastic rock, gabbro sill and granite. Field relation
shows granite cuts across mica schist, BCC, rhyolite, basalt and pyroclastic rock.

Ø Dominant S1// S0 foliation trends in N40ºE- S40ºW direction dipping either side.
BCC outcrops preserve isoclinal folded nature of the area with plunge swerving from
S45ºW to S80ºW and upto N60ºE. Sulphide minerals of pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite
and bornite stains have been found in BCC, rhyolite and tuff/tuffaceous phyllite. Result of
110 GCS samples from detailed investigation blocks received so far show only five samples
with anomalous Au value ranging from 50ppb to 214ppb (Avg. 149ppb; n=5).All five are
from Majhauli block from altered and brecciated tuff-BIF associate and BIF.
Ø Subsurface probe by means of scout drilling (six nos. of boreholes) with cumulative
drilling of 686.45m along borehole in Ajayanagar block (Block-A) was carried out in two
zones and 435 core samples were generated. Boreholes NB-01, NB-02 & NB-04 were
targeted in northern zone covering a strike length of 750m and intersected tuff, thin BIF
(Max.60cm thick) and gabbro-pyroxenite sill. Alteration zones intersected show yellow,
red, brown ochre signatures, limonitisation, silicification and carbonatisation in tuff. Minor
sulphides of arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite were found in gabbro bodies. Boreholes NB-03,
NB-05 and NB-06 were targeted in southern part covering a strike length of 610m and
intersected phyllite, gabbro-pyroxenite sill and tuff along the borehole. Sulphide minerals
of pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrhotite and profusely silver white mineral (cobaltite
or leucopyrite?) were found in phyllite and associated quartz/carbonate veins.

Ø So far chemical results of 313 numbers of core samples out of 435 numbers have been
received from boreholes NB-01, NB-02 and NB-03. Only 36 numbers of core samples, all

1.Title: Investigation for gold in Largadih-Balidih Block, Saraikela- Kharsawan, Jharkhand.

(Code No. ME/ER/JH/2012/001)

Heighlights:
The investigation work is aimed to delineation of the gold mineralization in Balidih
block, which forms western extension of Largadih block, Saraikela - Kharsawan district,
Jharkhand (Toposheet no.73J/1). The Balidih block comprises lithopackages of Dalma
Formation (volcanics). The rocks found in Balidih Block mainly are carbonaceous phyllite,
acid volcanic/ subordinate chert band, siliceous tuff, mafic/ultramafic volcanic rocks and
brecciated quartzite. During field traverses structural elements of three phases of deformation
have been noted. The S0 is recognized by color and compositional banding mainly in
carbonaceous phyllite and acid volcanics. The D1 deformation produced tight rootless fold and
is represented by S0//S1 schistosity. The D2 deformation produced open to close folds
preserved in the lithounits of carbonaceous phyllite, acid volcanic and breciated quartzite on
mesoscopic scale. The D3 deformation produced open fold with N10°E - S 10°W striking axial
plane is almost ubiquitous.
Drilling
The borehole BDH-3 was drilled during the period up to 176 m in which it encounters
0m to 5.50m as overburden after that it counters reddish brown color siliceous tuff up to
34.20m. The siliceous tuff is brown in colour and very fine grained and consists of alternate
bands of white and buff colour clay. At places the siliceous tuff represents devitrified glass and
angular fragments of lapilli within finer matrix. From the depth of 34.20m the breciated quartz
vein starts and continues up to 59.50m. The breciated quartz vein consists of angular clasts of
quartz embedded in siliceous matrix with prominent S0 banding and occasionally traversed by
smoky quartz vein. After that the borehole encountered quartz chlorite schist and continues
upto 176m depth. The quartz chlorite schist is grey to dark grey in colour with prominent
schistosity and occasionally contains elliptical carbonate lenses.
The borehole BDH-3 encountered six sulfide mineralized zone i.e from 43.20m to
46.85m; and 48.00m to 53.70m in the breciated quartz vein unit and 84.50m to 89.00m,
90.60m to 94.10m, 96.10m to 100.70m and 142.00m to 146.00m in the quartz chlorite schist
unit. The sulfide mineralized zone represents pyrite-chalcopyrite-arsenopyrite in the form of
stringers and dissemination aligned along the foliation plane.

The borehole BDH-4 was drilled during the period upto 94.10m in which it encounters
0m to 2.45m as overburden which is consist of soil, loamy soil and broken saprolite fragments.
After that it counters reddish brown color siliceous tuff up to 58.20m. The siliceous tuff is
brown in colour and medium to fine grained. It occasionally consists of white to buff colour
clay bands with sticky nature. From the depth of 58.20m the breciated quartz vein starts and
continues upto 62.80m. The quartz vein is hard and cryptocrystalline and shows yellow to
brown colour with limonitised material. At the contact between tuffs and quartz vein are highly

80
perforated and shows numerous shapes of cavities. The cavities contains vary fine precipitation
of botryoidal shaped sulfide minerals. From the depth of 62.80m the borehole encountered
again siliceous tuff up to 94.10m depth.
The borehole BDH-4 has been encountered three sulfide mineralized zone i.e. from
21.35m to 24.70m, 42.30m to 43.40m in siliceous tuff unit and 58.20m to 62.80m in the
breciated quartz vein. The sulfide mineralized zone represents pyrite-chalcopyrite-arsenopyrite
in the form of stringers and dissemination.
Few zones of suspected gold and copper mineralisation varying in thickness from 3.00m to
4.5m have been encountered in the boreholes.

7.Title:Search for potentiality of titanium and vanadium in the bauxite of Serangdag Plateau in
Garna Hanrup-Kaprapat- Risapattoli-Kubertola area of Gumla district, Jharkhand.
(Code No. ME/ER/JH/2013/005)

Highlights:Investigation through drilling started on 24-10-2013 in the assigned drilling block

and eight nos. of boreholes viz. SRBH-1 to SRBH-8 have been completed till 15th March,2014.
A total of 346.95m of drilling and logging have been completed in nine boreholes (eight
completed and one in progress) during the period beside 21 sq km area is covered under
reconnoitary mapping.

The laterite / bauxite of Garna – Hanrup - Kabrapat - Risapattoli- Kurbetola area of Serandag
plateu are of Cenozoic age and developed over the gneissic country rock belonging to
Chottanagpur Gnessic Complex. Reconnoitary mapping in parts of above areas reveals that the
top most part is occupied by thick and extensive in situ laterite capping (3-5m thick)
underlained by segregated boulders/pebbles and discontinuous lenses of bauxite (3-8m thick).
The total litho package up to basement is around 80-90m.

Sub-surface data generated through drilling of eight nos. of boreholes reveals that the
thickness of mineralised zone of bauxite varies from 16.65m (SRBH-8) to 39.00m (SRBH-5 &
7 ) between the depth range of 0.30m and 39.00m. The cumulative thickness of bauxite

84
horizons ranges between 15.10m (SRBH-2) to 27.95m (SRBH-1). Increased thickness of
mineralised zone is due to higher nos. of ferruginous clay bands occurring at middle part at
different horizons. In general, number of interbanded white clay/ferruginous clay bands
increases from north part (SRBH-1, one band) to south part (SRBH-5 & 7, five bands each). At
places bauxite zone starts almost from the beginning without any lateritic cover as recorded in
SRBH-2. No analytical results have been received so far.
Bauxitic zones with cumulative thickness varying from 25m to 39m have been intersected
in boreholes between depth range of 0.30m to 39m. Analytical results are awaited. The
item is continuing in FS 2014-15.

1.Title : Recconnaitory stage investigation for chromite around Tulasipasi, Mahupal and
Bhuasuni Parbat, Dhenkanal district, OdishaCode No. : ME/ER /ODS/2013/001

Highlights:Detailed geological mapping (DM) was carried out in the marginal zone (MZ) of
Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB) and Singhbhum Craton with the objective to search for
chromite mineralization. An area of 1.50 sq km was mapped on 1:2,000 scale on a topobase
prepared by Theodalite & total station survey in parts of Tulasipasi-Mahupal-Bhuasuni block
along with pitting/trenching of 100 Cum and collection of 100 nos.of PTS, 30 nos. of BRS, 30
nos. of SS and 26 nos. of PS and 08 nos. of EPMA analysis of sections (as per the suggestion by
stage review committee). The surveyed block is located to the west of Maulabhanj-Bhuasuni
hills in T.S.No.73H/9, Dhenkanal district, Odisha.
The area mapped is occupied by rock types belonging to the transition zone lying
between the Singbhum craton and EGMB containing rocks of both cratonic and mobile belt
affinity. The rock types exposed include mainly granite gneiss ± garnet, quartzite ± sillimanite
and laterite with minor bands/lenses of charnockite, quartz-sericite schist, metabasalt,
amphibolite, chlorite schist and phyllite with small lensoidal bodies of mafic-ultramafic rocks.
Gabbro/dolerite dykes with NW-SE and NE-SW trends have intruded into all the rock types.
Most of the rocks are concealed under a thick blanket of laterite with or without chromitite,
soil/alluvium. The laterite containing clasts and pisolites of chromitite are mapped as
chromiferous laterite.
The mafic-ultramafic rocks in the area occur as dismembered lenses of layered
sequences intruding into granite gneisses, quartzites and charnockite in a NE-SW trending
linear zone over a of 300m wide and 1 Km long zone. The mafic-ultramafics show layering in
mesoscopic scale with a differentiated sequence of chromiferous dunite, pyroxenite,
melagabbro, gabbro with magnetite and graphic granite. The ultramafic rocks include altered
chromiferous dunite/ peridotite (serpentinite), chromitite and hornblende nearing ortho-
pyroxenite. Apart from ultramafics, pieces of chromitite are found in loose laterite or in solid
laterites as clasts. An isolated patch of another chromiferous laterite of 225m X 175m was also
mapped in the southern part of the area. Such chromiferous laterite also occurs within this linear
zone as separate patches. Chromitites in laterite is possibly reworked from underlying
ultramafics during weathering.

Boreholes drilled in the block proved occurrence of a chromiferous ultramafic zone

of 200m strike length in the northern part with thickness of individual chromiferous
ultramafic bands ranging from 1.13 m to 29.65m. Whereas, in the southern part of the
block, chromiferous ultramafics of 2.35m to 35.0m thickness were intersected and thus

85
 continuity of chromiferous ultramafic body under the soil cover was established for 400m
strike length. A 1.10m thick chromite band was intersected at a depth of 60.90m to
62.00m.which analysed Cr2O3 of 14.69 to 26.47%.

2.Title : Investigation for Manganese in Dengula- Bandhal area, Bonai-Kendujhar Belt,

Sundergarh district, Odisha Code No. : ME/ER/ODS/2013/002

Heighlights:
Investigation for Manganese in Dengula- Bandhal area, Bonai-Kendujhar Belt, Sundergarh
district, Odisha was carried out during FSP 2013-14 pertaining to Item No.52 (Code No:
ME/ER/ODS/2013/002) to assess the Manganese ore potential in the block for augmentation of
resource. Large scale mapping on 1: 10,000 scale was carried out in parts of T.S.No 73 G/1
around Dengula and Bandhal area. The litho assemblage noticed in the mapped area is shale and
laterite. Shale in the mapped area always occupies the low lying areas in the core of the syncline.
Shale, part of Koira Group of Iron Ore Super Group is noticed in the area. An area of 0.75 sq km
was covered by Detailed mapping on 1: 2000 scale. Manganese ore body exposed in two old
workings, one at the Northern side with length of 80 m and width 6m at NE line and other at
southern side with length of 10 m and width 4 m at NS lin, atotal of 6 trenches with
accumulative dimension of 25 cum were excavated to check the strike continuity of ore body in
the areas but because of thick laterite cover couldn’t get the promising results. Both primary and
secondary structures are noticed in the mapped area. Primary structure is represented by bedding
(S0) in brown shale. S0 is varying from N70ºW dipping 63º NE to N45ºE dipping 38ºNW. The
variation in bedding is due to deformations. Foliation (S1) recorded in shale are parallel to
bedding and is varying from N70ºW dipping 63º NE to N45ºE dipping 38ºNW. Manganese
mineralisation in the mapped area is mostly confined to the variegated shale and in laterite
capping. In the laterite, the ore is generally dispersed throughout the rock mass as small lenses,
pockets and irregular bodies. In shale, the manganese ore occurs as thin tabular bands
conformable with the bedding and also as lenticular or irregular pockets. The distribution of
manganese ore, in this belt is highly irregular and erratic both vertically and horizontally.
Chemical analysis of 21 bed rock samples received so far in which manganese percentage is
varying from 0.92 to 41.28.

well as 200 nos. of BRS/SS, 60 nos. of PTS (from 60 cum. of trenching/pitting), 25 nos. of PS
has been collected. The different litho-units exposed in the mapped area are meta-basalt with
minor bands of amygdular meta-basalt, porphyritic meta-basalt, meta-gabbro, meta-pyroxenite,
acid volcanics, amphibolite and black meta-chert. These rocks are intruded by granodiorite,
smoky quartz veins and gabbro dykes. The dimension of amygdular meta-basalt varies from 40-

86
45m in length and 5-20m in width. A small band of acid volcanic (20mX10m) is exposed in the
north western part of mapped area. It is fine grained, leucocratic, grey, white and reddish in
color, massive to foliated and composed of quartz and feldspar as essential minerals with minor
mafic minerals. At places, laminations are preserved within this unit which is parallel to S1-
foliation. Sulphide minerals like pyrite, chalcopyrite and may be arsenopyrite occur as
disseminations within this rock. At places, black chert contains sulphide minerals like pyrite and
chalcopyrite which occur as disseminations. Two outcrops of smoky quartz having dimensions
30m X 7m and 15m X 1m are observed within meta-basalt with its attitude parallel to S1
foliation.
The area has undergone three phases of deformations. S1 foliation is prominent in all the
units of metabasics striking N350W-S350E to N650W- S650E and dipping 320 to 400 towards
north east. At places, amygdules are stretched in N500E-S500W direction which is along S2.
Minor folds are observed in black meta-chert which is developed during D1 phase of
deformation. Crenulation cleavage (S2) in talc-chlorite-hornblende schist, Z and S types of folds
in schist belt units are developed during D2 phase of deformation. Broad open wraps are
developed in acid volcanic during D3 phase of deformation.
Sulphides minerals like pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite are mostly observed in
sheared granodiorite, black metachert, meta-basalt, acid volcanic and smoky quartz veins.
Trenches and pits are made in sulphidic quartz veins, at the contacts between acid volcanic and
metabaslt, quartzite, meta-basalt and smoky quartz vein & black chert, meta-basalt and smoky
quartz vein.
Although some sulphide mineralisations along sheared contact of metabasalt and
granodiorite have been observed, no encouraging results have been found, so far.

analytical results is under process.

Title: Exploration for iron ore in Mendhamaruni Block, Sundargarh district, Odisha.FSP
Code: ME/ER/ODS/2013/003

An area of 0.4 sq. km was mapped on 1:2000 scale and a total of 736.30 m has been
drilled by six boreholes (five boreholes in earlier mapped area and one in current mapped area)
including 40 cum of trenching. The rock types exposed in the area are mainly Shale (Fe-
Shale/Variegated Shale), Laterites (Fe-Laterites/Al-Laterites) and iron ore (Hard Laminated
Ore/Soft Laminated Ore) of Koira Group (IOG).
Bedding and Foliation (nearly parallel) are observed in the iron ore body (HLO) which
strikes mainly in NE-SW to NNE-SSW with shallow to moderate Dip towards NW. Minor fold
are rarely observed whose fold axis plunges moderately towards NW. Structural elements are
not so prominent because of lateritisation.
The iron ores are hematite occurring in the form of Hard Laminated Ore (HLO)/Soft
Laminated Ore (SLO)/ Powdery Ore/ Blue Dust etc. The boreholes SMB-1, SMB-2, SMB-3,
SMB-5 and SMB-6 has intersected mineralized zone from 0.0-85.4 m, 6.8-95.80m, 60.55-
137.70m, 67.20-151.10m and 51.90-136.80m respectively. The borehole SMB-4 did not
intersect any ore zone. The chemical analysis data received ( 269 nos.) so far indicates that in
borehole SMB-1, SMB-2 & SMB-3, the average Fe content are 62.46%, 58.38% and 64.89%
respectively. Based on available chemical data of borehole SMB-1, SMB-2 and SMB-3, 18.01
MT (61.60 % Fe) of iron ore resources has been estimated under inferred mineral resource
category (UNFC - 333).

So far, on the basis of exploration results more than 18 million tonnes iron ore
resource with 55% cut-off has been inferred. Estimation of the resource on the basis of
actual analytical results is under process.

Title: Preliminary search for Ni, Cr & PGE group of elements in mafic-ultramafic suite of rocks in parts of
Bagalia- Sonaijuri -Kashipur-Gopalpur sector , T.S. 73 I/11, Purulia district, West Bengal (Item Code No:
ME/ER/WBAN/2013/001)

Heighlights:
The area exposes rocks of Chhotanagpur Gneissic complex (CGC) and is characterized by migmatites,
streaky biotite granite gneiss, porphyritic granite gneiss, biotite-quartz diorite with enclaves of unclassified
metamorphites. The unclassified metamorphites comprises amphibolite, pyroxene granulite and calc-silicate
rocks. Late stage pegmatitic activity is observed at many places over the study area in association with
granite gneiss of CGC. Reconnaitary traverses and large scale mapping was undertaken in the study area in
and around Karunmandi , Palashkura Asanbani, Hariharpur, Harai Nadi and Jamtanr where several E-W
trending lenses of mafic-ultramafic bodies (?) having 30m to 125 m width were mapped. The rock is
medium grained, black coloured with distinctive pitted surface and limonitic weathering.
A patch of porphyroclastic gneiss was observed near Hariharpur with gneissic foliation trending E-W
and three sets of fracture planes of which one set is E-W trending parallel to gneissosity while the other two
sets trend SSE-NNW and NE-SW respectively with vertical dips. At many places over the study area, late
stage pegmatitic activity is observed intruding parallel to gneissic foliation of granite gneiss of CGC.

Chemical Analysis: bed rock and petro-chemical samples of mafic/ ultramafic(?) rocks from Karunmandi,
Asanbani, Hariharpur, Harai N, Jamtanr areas were done.. In 08 nos. of bed rock samples Ni value ranges
from 51-632 ppm & Cr value ranges from 110-1821 whereas in 05 nos. of petrochemical samples Ni value
ranges from 455-1033 ppm & Cr value ranges from 1208-2009. 01 no. of BRS from Karunmandi reported
Pd value of 320 ppb and Pt value of 75 ppb. Other samples recorded Pd values in the range of < 5 ppb
to 20 ppb while Pt values are in the range of < 10 ppb to 68 ppb.

Ore Microscopic Studies: Nickel sulphide phases (Pentlandite as confirmed also by EPMA / Raman
Spectroscopy studies), Chalcopyrite, Pyrrhotite and Magnetite have been indentified in thin sections from
mafic / ultramafic (?) rocks of Asanbani area. Palladium occurs as exsolution phase in Pyrhhotite grains.
Few scattered grains of Silver were also observed.
One bedrock sample of mafic /ultramafic rock from Karunmandi area reported Pd value of 320 ppb
and Pt value of 75 ppb. The work is continuing in FS 2014-15.

porphyritic texture in which both well
developed phologopites and olivine
phenocrysts are set into a groundmass
that is mainly represented by medium
grained euhedral – subhedral
phlogopites. Olivine phenocrysts are
generally replaced with carbonate
leaving original shape along with relicts
of Ol. Olivine phenocrysts (xenocrysts)
are always surrounded with a dusty grey

23. CORE LIBRARY

The Regional Core Library, Geological Survey of India Eastern Region, started
functioning at Bhubaneswar since January, 2010. The Core Library is designed and
constructed in such a manner that it can accommodate 4800 no. of drill core boxes
systematically. Facility is being created to provide access to the fellow scientists, researcher
and students from various earth science organization and University for research and
academic activities. Skeletonised drill cores have been systematically arranged and
preserved in cells earmarked for individual states (Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal and
Sikkim). The preserved skeletonised drill cores are from Iron, Manganese, Bauxite, PGE,
Gold, Rare Metals and Coal investigations carried out in different field seasons by different
state units of Eastern Region and erstwhile Coal Wing. The process for transferring of cores
(skeletonised) of different Mineral Investigations carried out by GSI is continuing and effort
is being made to obtain cores from other sister organizations.

Core Preservation
The drill cores generated from investigations are preserved in GI sheet boxes of 90cm
x 30cm x 10cm with a lid. The cores selected as per the guidelines from CHQ have been
transferred to the GI sheet boxes. The details of depth of core preserved and borehole
numbers were written on two sides of the GI sheet boxes and ghutkas with paint and by
engraving. For storage of drill core boxes inside the Core Library in multi-layer system,
heavy duty racks with four partitions have been used. The racks are properly arranged in the
repository taking maximum advantage of natural ventilation and illumination and keeping
sufficient place for movement of men and machinery. Drill core boxes are stacked
systematically state-wise as per Project/Investigation, Borehole and depth of cores.

Details of the drill Core Preserved till 2012-13

So far, the drill cores preserved in the Regional Core Library are
from 16 investigations, pertaining to 4 stat graphic boreholes for
Gondwana coal and 1 from Rangit Window, Sikkim and rest 11 for 6
148
mineral commodities like Iron, Manganese, Gold, PGE, Rare Metals and
apatite. The drill cores preserved in the Core Repository include boreholes
drilled for Iron ore, manganese and bauxite investigations in Bonai-
Keonjhar belt; PGE investigation in Baula-Nausahi M-UM complex in
Odisha, Gold investigations from Pahardia and Parasi areas, Jharkhand;
Rare Metal and apatite investigation from Purulia district, West Bengal;
and coal investigation from Bokaro Coal field, Jharkhand, Raniganj coal
field, Birbhum Coal Field, West Bengal, Talcher Coal Field, Odisha. Out
of the 1686 boxes of skeletonised core preserved in the core library, there
are 124 boxes with a length of 492.30m of core from 3 Iron ore
investigations representing 10 boreholes, 155 boxes with 490.56m length
