(Under Rule 10 of MCDR 1988) 1.3 DATE OF COMMENCEMENT OF MINING OPERATION: - 18.12.1988 1.4(a) DEFICIENCIES, IF ANY, THAT EXISTED IN THE APPROVED MINING PLAN: There were no deficiencies in the approved mining plan/scheme. 1.4(b) REVIEW OF COMPLIANCE POSITION OF SALIENT FEATURES OF THE MINING PLAN ON CHAPTER-WISE BASIS: (1) EXPLORATION: No additional exploration was proposed in the Scheme of Mining, however looking to the enhanced ore production targets and limited life of the open pit, need was felt to establish continuity of ore body in depth and thereby upgrade and further augment the resources in depth. Accordingly 17 no of exploratory boreholes have been completed, with a total drilling of 10855.7 m (2792.70m non-core and 8063m diamond core as given in Drawing No. HZL/RA/SUR/557) along 100 m spaced sections have [STAMP] RA Mine page 1 been carried out. The position of the bore holes bore holes have been marked in surface plan. Depth range of the bore holes is placed as an annexure-XIII Details of the additionally established one reserves are given under para 3.3 of the proposed Scheme of mining. Future drilling has been also planned (approx. 33,000 meters in the year 2006-07) for this proposed scheme for 1. Precise delineation of south and north plunge of the ore body up to 0 mRL. This will help in designing the exact configuration of the open pit. 2. Up gradation of resources up to -250 mRL and enhancement of resources further up to -450 mRL. However, exploratory drilling in subsequent years will be communicated as soon as it will get finalized.

* Anticipated. While comparing the actual development with planned development, the actual ore production during the Scheme of Mining seems to be very near with planned quantity. Against the planned ore quantity of 11.68 mMT, achievement was 10.99 mMT, with a very less deviation of approx. 6% only. In the Scheme, waste excavation was proposed at a stripping ratio of 4.78 and actual achievement is approx. 4.64. With a slight variation in the strip ratio (0.14), contributing approx. 1.53 mMT of less waste excavation compare to the planned quantity. The variation of 2.7% in waste excavation is well within the [STAMP] RA Mine page 3 [SEAL] estimated range of 15%, anticipated in the previous mining scheme. The proposed conceptual plan for the mine is based on LG techniques and designs were prepared considering the slope angles as suggested by the geo-technical consultants i.e. M/s. CMRI-Dhanbad. Pit optimization and long-term mining schedules have been prepared considering the latest topography of the pit and hence proposed 5 year plans prepared are in line with the long-term plans. This will not generate any kind of backlog in the subsequent years. (3) AFFORESTATION PROGRAM: Comparative statement of afforestation planned and actual carried out are as under: NO.

[STAMP] RA Mine page 4 [SEAL] The details of plantation work done in terms of the land covered in the acquired land are given below: INDUSTRIAL AREA [clock] Total land acquired for industrial use: 869.5 ha. [clock] Plantation done up to date: 246 ha.(28.29% of total acquired land) If the land used for mining activities, tailing dam, waste dump, gossan dump, beneficiation plant, offices & workshop etc. is excluded from the total land acquired, the plantation done up to date is 59.21% of the rest of the area. COLONY [clock] Total land acquired for colony: 74 ha. [clock] Plantation done up to date: 33.5 ha. (45.27% of total acquired land). (4) LAND RECLAMATION AND REHABILITATION: There is no change in the conditions assumed in the approved mining plan on page no. 45 in para 13.3.2. However 9.5 ha. of ultimate non-moving ends in the waste dump has been covered with plantation till Oct.'2005. Anticipated area to be generated for soil cover and the schedule for plantation during the proposed 5 year is given under para 6.1.1 at page 29. All required rehabilitation was made prior to project commissioning, so there is no change in the conditions as mentioned in the approved mining plan on page no. 49 in para 13.3.12. (5) CONTROL OF DUST, NOISE & VIBRATION: There is no major change in the conditions as mentioned under [STAMP] RA Mine page 5 [SEAL] para 13.3.4 at page no.46 in the approved mining Plan. In addition to this, an automatic water sprinkling system has been installed on main permanent haul roads. Three nos of 28 KL capacity water sprinklers are in use for dust suppression on haul roads with in the pit area and wet drilling is being ensured. Maximum charge per delay is being controlled to keep the blast vibrations within acceptable limits. A typical blast pattern is given at page 20. Blasts are being monitored with the help of 'BLASTMATE' and both ground vibration and noise level are kept within the threshold limit. For further improvement in blast performance and to reduce the Air Over Pressure, Non-el initiation system has been introduced. Majority of the boulders in ore are dealt with the help of a hydraulic 'Rock Breaker. This has improved the environment further by eliminating / reducing the need of secondary blasting.

[STAMP] RA Mine page 15 [SEAL] 4.0 CONCEPTUAL MINING PLAN : The conceptual Mining Plan is based on the LG (Lersch Grossman) pit optimization technique carried out by using Whittle software 4X, pit bottom was arrived and afterwards design work has been done [ ] Datamine software. The salient features considered in the designing of the conceptual plan are as under. (a) Minimum working width : 50 meter (b) Bench height : 10 meter (c) Planned ultimate pit wall slopes : H/W : 48 degrees F/W : 35 degrees Ultimate pit wall slopes are subject to change at depth on the basis of recommendations of further Geotechnical studies and approval from DGMS. (d) Berm width & bench angle : 6.5m (from toe to Crest), individual bench angle of 70 degrees in F /W and 80 degrees in H/W.
[STAMP] RA Mine page 16 [SEAL] (e) Ramps: Two ramps, one each in H/W & F/W of 25 meters Width and gradient of 1 in 12. (f) Ultimate depth of pit: Full strike length of the ore body will be mined up to 140 mRL & southern portion will be mined further up to 120 mRL. (g) Ultimate/overall: 1:4.8 stripping ratio (h) Total Opencast mine able: 36.31 Million Reserves (As on 1.04.2005) tonnes (i) Anticipated life: Approx. 9 years based on the current ore production of 11400 TPD (j) Waste management: Waste generated by mining will be dumped at pre decided sites in ultimate dump configuration of 4*10 meters lifts for minimum land degradation. The decided sites i.e. 1, 2, 3 & 4 are as per enclosed drawing (drawing no. HZL/RA/SUR/548)
[STAMP] RA Mine page 17 [SEAL] which also shows site for sub grade mineral dump. The area occupied by waste dump, its volume and quantity of waste stacked so far in MT (anticipated up to March 2006) are 12,47,988 sq.m, 32.6 million cu.m and 71.77 million MT respectively. Density of waste in-situ is 2.7 t/m3 whereas the density of waste in waste dump after compaction becomes 2.201 t/m3. (k) Sub grade mineral: The gossanised ore management found above 370 mRL is Stacked separately at the site shown in the drawing no. HZL/RA/ SUR/548 i.e. site 2. In the process of dumping gossan two big heaps (marked in the surface/environment plan drawing no. HZL/RA/ SUR/436 or drawing no. HZL/RA/ SUR/REV/74 as no. I & II) have been developed. In the initial period, also gossan have been dumped in small heaps in the area falling between and around above heap no. I & II, which is named as heap no. III in surface/environment plan.
[STAMP] RA Mine page 18 [SEAL] Thus, total area covered under gossan comprising heap I, II & III is 2,03,500 sq.m having a varying height of 0 to 12 meters maximum and contains total gossan (1.490 million MT) produced so far. Presently no feasible technology for extraction of metal from gossan is available. (1) Environmental aspect: As described in the approved mining plan from page no 36 to 50 (storage & preservation of top soil, reclamation and rehabilitation of land, afforestation, measures for dust suppression, care for minimum vibration due to blasting, stabilization and vegetation of dump sides, treatment and disposal of water from mine and beneficiation plant, measures to minimize adverse effects on water regime etc.).

Deepest point at the end of this scheme will be 190 mRL (sump). Details of year wise excavation plans are as under; (i) IST YEAR (APR' 2006 TO MARCH 2007) (REF. DRAWING NO. HZL/RA/SUR/552) In this year Mining will be concentrated mainly in H/W portion of the pit. Existing push back on 300mRL H/W will be taken down to 270mRL and sump will be located below 260mRL, between N-350 to N-100. A new push back is proposed to generated in H/W from 390mRL and will be taken down up to 320mRL by leaving a bench width of 50m on 340mRL so that bench could be taken for operation in subsequent year. In F/W, benches are taken up to ultimate pit limits from 350mRL to 320mRL and partial excavation is considered below 320mRL for the development of ore at deeper levels. H/W ramp will reach up to 290mRL with straight ramp section. Connectivity of F/W and H/W will be at 290mRL. [STAMP] RA Mine page 23 [SEAL] (ii) 2ND YEAR (APR' 2007 TO MARCH 2008) (REF. DRAWING NO. HZL/RA/SUR/553) activity will continue with further deepening of the sump and establishing it at 240mRL in H/W between N/S-00 and N-300. From the available pushbacks, lower one will be developed faster so as ore at the lower levels could be developed in subsequent year. Push back available on 320mRL will be taken down to 270mRL and another from 340mRL will be taken down to 330mRL. F/W North excavation will be started and benches between 370mRL to 320mRL will be shifted to their ultimate pit limits. H/W north excavation will also started and benches are taken from 390mRL to 370mRL. The connectivity of F/W and H/W will be maintained at 290 mRL south. (iii) 3RD YEAR (APR' 2008 TO MARCH 2009) (REF. DRAWING NO. HZL/RA/SUR/554) Mining will mainly concentrated in northern side of the HW. The existing push back available on 360 mRL will be pushed down to 330 mRL. Deepening of sump will take place and establishing it at H/W 220mRL between N/S-00 to N-300 approximately. The push back available on H/W 330mRL will be shifted to 280mRL and another push back available at 270mRL will be shifted to 240mRL by leaving approx. 50m width on 270mRL. [STAMP] RA Mine page 24 [SEAL] F/W benches between 310mRL to 280mRL will be shifted to their ultimate pit positions and partial excavation will be done from benches 270mRL to 240mRL. The connectivity of H/W and F/W is maintained on 280mRL. (iv) 4TH YEAR (APR' 2009 TO MARCH 2010) (REF. DRAWING NO. HZL/RA/SUR/555) Major mining activities during this year involves to bring down existing pushing back in H/W benches from 270mRL to 230mRL in continuation of the previous year plan. Sump will be further deepened and established at 2l0mRL between approximately N-100 and N-400. F/W excavation involves shifting of existing push back available and benches will be shifted to their ultimate pit positions from 270mRL to 240mRL, and partial excavation will be taken at 230mRL. Available push back will be continued from 330mRL to 300mRL in H/W north and partial excavation will be carried out at 290mRL. The F/W and H/W connectivity will be maintained on 280mRL. (v) 5TH YEAR (APR' 2010 TO MARCH 2011) (REF. DRAWING NO. HZL/RA/SUR/556) Excavation schedule will be in continuous with previous years. Major activities includes, deepening of the sump and establishing it on 190mRL between [STAMP] RA Mine page 25 [SEAL] approximately N/SOO and N-350, and development in H/W. In H/W north excavation will be in continuous with previous years and proposed to posh down benches from 290mRL to 230mRL and in H/W from 220 to 200 mRL. Final push back is also proposed in this year; covering benches from 390 to 370 mRL. F/W and H/W connectivity will be maintained at 280mRL. 5.3 YEAR WISE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE WITH GRADES: The proposed ore production with expected mill feed grade and quantity of overburden and total excavation year-wise is indicated below.

[STAMP] RA Mine page 34 [SEAL] 8.0 MINERAL BENEFICIATION 8.1 RESULTS OF ANY BENEFICIATION INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED & CHANGES MADE IN EXISTING PLANT AND TAILING DISPOSAL, IF ANY, WITH BENEFITS : CHANGE MADE IN EXISTING PLANT: As indicated in the previous mining scheme, during the scheme period beneficiation capacity has been enhanced twice. First from 4500 TPD to 6100 TPD in 2003-04, by improving the productivity and utilisation of available equipments and increasing the number of operating days and then from 6100 TPD to 11400 TPD (3.75 million MT per Annum) by adding a new stream of grinding, and flotation in adjacent to the existing plant. In the capacity expansion from 6100 TPD to 11400 TPD, an additional new stream of semi autogenous grinding (SAG) Mill with Ball mill combination has been installed to meet the additional grinding requirement. The SAG Mill grinding circuit is feeding directly from the new coarse ore stockpile. A separate line of higher capacity flotation cells has been installed for the additional capacity to treat the cyclone over flow product of the new SAG mill-Ball mill circuit for producing separate Lead-Zinc Concentrates. The flotation circuit has been automated using state-of-the-art instrumentation and process control technology in order to improve concentrate grades and recoveries. The then 16-meter diameter and 14 meter dia conventional zinc thickeners has been replaced with a new 25-metre diameter high capacity thickener to meet the dewatering requirements of Zinc conc. The [STAMP] RA Mine page 35 [SEAL] existing 55-metre tailing thickener in combination with the spared 14 meter dia Zinc thickener and 14 meter dia lead thickener will provide tailing- thickening facilities for the entire tailings generated at 3.75 million TPA capacities. The hydro cyclone separation system installed ahead of the thickener will reduce the load on tailing thickeners and recover more water. PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION AND AUTOMATION: A highly automated/instrumented process control has been installed in the beneficiation plant design. Salient features of the process instrumentation are as below: 1. Courier On-line Stream Analysis System for measurement of elements concentration in slurries. 2. Proscon 2100 NT system is designed to optimize, stabilize and control individual unit operations as well as the entire plant. 3. Froth Camera System makes use of machine vision technologies to measure the speed of the froth. 4. Particle Size Analyser PSI 500 is a sizing system for mineral slurries. It takes automatic samples from one to three process streams and measures their particle size distribution in the range of 1-500 microns. An updated process flow sheet of the beneficiation plant is enclosed (ANNEXURE-II).

[STAMP] RA Mine page 48 [SEAL] 10.0 ANY OTHER INFORMATION 10.1 Results of any investigation carried out for scientific mining, conservation of minerals and protection of environment, future proposals, if any; 1. GEO-TECHNICAL STUDY BY M/S. CMRI-DHANBAD. Geotechnical study was conducted by CMRI in the year 2004, in order to optimize the slope angle up to a depth of 250m at Rampura Agucha Mine. For this purpose detailed geotechnical investigations were conducted. [Illegible] These included geotechnical mapping as per ISRM (1978) norms, determination of physico-mechanical properties of intact rock, for which rock samples from 8 no. of vertical bore holes were analyzed for compressive strength (40-70), tensile strength (5-9.25) and Bulk density (2.77 -3.04), determination of rock mass rating (RMR) and estimation of rock mass properties. Based on these data limit equilibrium for different inter ramp angles and overall slope angles using GALENA computer program was carried out. The analysis showed that large-scale failure is unlikely but small-scale failure cannot be completely ruled out and these small-scale failures are not of great concern as it can be arrested on the lower benches. The Numerical simulation techniques were applied to study the stability of slopes, their behavior at varying slope angles and determine optimum slope angle. It was done using FLAC computer program. The stability analysis for HW and FW was done to cross [STAMP] RA Mine page 49 [SEAL] check the finding by Limit Equilibrium method. It has confirmed the findings. From these investigations CMRI has recommended the overall footwall and hanging wall slopes as 40[degrees] and 48[degrees] respectively. 2. STUDY OF BLAST DESIGN PARAMETERS OF PRE-SPLIT BLASTS BY M/S. CMRI-DHANBAD: As mentioned in the earlier scheme of mining, to establish the pre-split drilling and blasting near the final pit slopes a study has been carried out by CMRI, Dhanbad and a draft report was submitted in July 2005. CMRI carried out the study of the existing controlled blasting technique (pre-split drilling & blasting) at RAM and suggested corrective measures to achieve the desired cut line, to achieve designed berm width of 6.5 meters and batter angle of 70 degree on F/W without affecting the benches and by ensuring stability of benches as well as pit slopes. They also carried out audit of existing Production blasting procedures and suggested optimum drilling and blasting parameters, tools for improvement in blast design, blast monitoring and measures for reduction in environment impacts due to blasting like vibration, noise & dust. Controlled blasts are being carried out as per the recommendation of the CMRI. The blasting research team of Central Mining Research Institute, Dhanbad is monitoring the blast results on bi-monthly basis and suggesting the modifications in the blast design as per the requirement. [STAMP] RA Mine page 50 3. THE STUDY TO PREPARE LAND USE / LAND COVER MAP TO DETERMINE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF VARIOUS UNITS IN THE STUDY AREA AND THEIR CHANGES OVER THE PERIOD OF TIME (1998-2003) BY: STATE REMOTE SENSING CENTRE. THE REPORT CONCLUDED THAT: - There is considerable increase in habitation part area due to new and extension of existing habitation in 15 KM radius - Cropping pattern and natural vegetation of the area is in healthy condition. - Waste dump of the mine has increase in area but is being simultaneously dense vegetation cover. - Good plantation has developed around R.A. Mine campus. - Looking to increase in vegetation cover over 1998 to 2003, there is no adverse affect on environment due to mining activities in adjoining villages and in the area.
