2.0 Introduction

2.1 General:
Fullers Earth, a type of clay used as an adsorbent. Fullers earth is any clay
material that has capability to decolorize oil and fats or other liquid without
chemical treatment. Fullers Earth is highly adsorbed clay like substance
consisting of hydrated aluminium silicates used predominantly in woollen
cloth, talcum powder as a filter, bonding agent in foundry sand, as a
lubricant in oil and gas drilling rigs. It is also used as “Multani Mitti” in
manufacturing face wash/ face packs. Fullers Earth typically consists of
polygorskite (attapulgite) or bentonite.
Fullers earth consists primarily of hydrous aluminium silicates (clay
minerals) of varying composition. Common components are
montmorillonite, kaolinite and attapulgite. Small amounts of other mineral
may be present in fullers earth deposits, including calcite, dolomite, and
quartz. In some localities earth refers to calcium bentonite, which is altered
volcanic ash composed mostly of montmorillonite.

2.2 Present Proposal:
Considering the abundantly available Fullers Earth source and the growing
demand in the market, Sri. Shivakumar N Yakapur, is proposing Quarrying
of Fullers Earth in a Patta land of 2-00 acres area, in Sy. No. 289/1 of Kodli
Village, Chincholi Taluk, Kalaburgi district, Karnataka. The said lease is new
and it is proposed to quarry, with an annual production rate of 2,514 (Avg)
T/ Annum, with latest and state-of-the-art quarrying facilities.

2.3 Promoters’ Background:
The Fullers Earth Quarrying project will be operated by Sri Shivakumar N
Yakapur, who is an experienced entrepreneur from Kalaburgi District of
Karnataka State. He is an expert having immense experience, in the fields of
Fullers Earth quarrying and allied business.

3.0 Project Description

3.1 General
Fullers Earth mining is not very cumbersome unlike other stone materials. It
is mined brick clay. The cost of mining depends chiefly upon the magnitude
of the operations and the depth of overburden to be removed.
In small mines the material is almost always removed by pick-axes and
shovels, with help of scrapers. After the overburden is removed, the fullers
earth dug with pickaxe and shovel and is loaded on tippers according to the
quantity of material being mined. The foliated character of many of the
deposits makes this work comparatively easy, as the material tends to break
in block like forms, which naturally facilitates mining.

The actual block splitting from the sheet rocks or boulders is mainly done
manually or in some cases by semi- mechanized methods, whereas the other
operations, such as removal of overburden, lifting and transporting of cut
blocks, etc. are carried out by mechanized method. The various activities
involved in Fullers Earth quarrying are briefed below:

3.2 Method of Quarrying

The proposed method of quarrying to be practiced at the Fullers Earth quarry
is of “OPEN CAST” method, by semi-mechanized way. However, care has to
be taken to make it environmental friendly by constantly adopting suitable
mining techniques. The quarrying will be carried-out by deploying
machineries like Excavators, Tippers etc.

3.3 Mining
The said quarry is New; quarrying shall be done by semi mechanized
method in Patta Land. The quarry has the approach roads, drivable in all
seasons of the year. Production & development shall be carried with
systematic and scientific approach. The salient features are given in Table
below:

4.3 Physiographic Features:

The physiographic of the area is a part of flat undulated terrain slightly
sloping towards South Eastern side in 1 in 40 m. The area is having very less
number of bushes and shrubs on South-Western side. the height is little less
and on NE side, the height is more comparatively. Except this physiography
of the area is uniform. The lowest level observed in the area is about 99.4 RL
and maximum level is about 101 RL on the surface. The applied area is
located at the elevation of about 480 to 480.5 mts above the MSL.

4.4 Land-Use Planning

The proposed quarry area is Patta land. It is barren and the fullers earth is
available at a shallow depth of 1 to 1.5m. The land-use pattern (present and
at the end of the scheme period) is as below:

5.0 Planning

5.1 General

Mining shall be carried out in a descending order from top to bottom. The
mining operations were being carried out all along the strike length of the
mining lease area. The area is found to have prominent exposures of Fullers
Earth deposit in the entire area. The Fullers Earth is a clay material composed
of hydrous aluminum silicates (clay minerals) of varying composition.
Common components aremontmorillonite, kaolinite and attapulgite. Small
amounts of other minerals may be present in fuller's earth deposits, including
calcite, dolomite, and quartz.

5.2 Present Status of the Area:

The quarry lease has been newly sanctioned. The area will be developed by
forming benches to work the area systematically as per KMMC Rules, 1994.
The details of working dump yards, roads are as shown map in the quarry
plan.

5.3 Proposed year wise Development and Production (in Tons):

The development and production programme is confined to the entire area
for the first 5 years. The scheme has been planned by taking into
consideration of the nature of the deposit within the sanctioned area. It is
observed that the sheet rocks are exposed in the neighboring quarries. The
proposed year-wise working plan is furnished below:
