Regional exploration for coal (G-2) was<br />
carried out in this block Tatapani –<br />
Ramkola coalfield to establish the<br />
continuity <strong>of</strong> Barakar coal seams<br />
beneath the younger Raniganj and<br />
Barren Measures Formations along with<br />
deciphering subsurface structural<br />
disposition as well as to appraise its<br />
resource potentiality. Subsurface data<br />
revealed the presence <strong>of</strong> Raniganj,<br />
Barren Measures and Barakar<br />
Formations. Six regional (I to VI in<br />
ascending order) and few local coal seams<br />
<strong>of</strong> Barakar Formation ranging in<br />
thickness from less than a metre to<br />
29.78 m have been recorded between<br />
depths <strong>of</strong> 491.77 m and 841.20 m.<br />
Seams I to V are important for their<br />
thickness and regional persistency. The<br />
seam nos. IV and V are represented by<br />
four to five split sections with the<br />
cumulative thickness being 29.78 m and<br />
12.22 m respectively. The work is in<br />
progress<br />
Reconnaissance stage investigation (G-<br />

Raigarh- Bilaspur Belt to locate<br />
kimberlite clan rocks in the granitic<br />
basement along the high permeable zone<br />
characterized by mafic dykes.<br />
Psamopelitic units comprising<br />
sandstone and shale are exposed in<br />
Dullapur area along nala section <strong>of</strong> Agar<br />
River. A suspected kimberlitic/<br />
lamproitic rock is reported from parts<br />
<strong>of</strong> T.S.No. 64F/11, Bilaspur district. The<br />
rock is dominated by altered olivine,<br />
mica and opaques. The top soil below<br />
the bouldery rock outcrop has pink,<br />
purple and orange red garnets (pyrope),<br />
spinels and ilmenites. Further work is in<br />
progress for confirmation. Work is in<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> mafic dykes were observed<br />
along E-W, NW-SE and NE-SW<br />
directions. Around Patpara and<br />
Anwarpani area, boulder beds are<br />
overlain by sandstone and shale.<br />
Boulders <strong>of</strong> basic rock lying over the<br />
Gondwana rocks and along the nala<br />
sections were recorded. At Patpara,<br />
kimberlitic/lamproites boulders indicate<br />
that these may presumably be related to<br />
Deccan Trap occurring in the north. Few<br />
grains <strong>of</strong> garnet, spinel and ilmenite were<br />
selected for SEM-EDX / EPMA studies.<br />
The work is in progress<br />
Regional ground evaluation <strong>of</strong> aero-<br />
geophysical anomalies (G-4) initiated<br />
during FS 2009-10 was continued to<br />
delineate KCR bodies and other types<br />
<strong>of</strong> Mineralisation. A number <strong>of</strong> small<br />
faults <strong>of</strong>fsetting the Kansapather<br />
sandstone were observed near Agasmai<br />
and Bargarh village. A fault scarp with<br />
slickensides in Lohardih sandstone<br />
towards NW <strong>of</strong> Barra village was<br />
observed. In suitable trap sites <strong>of</strong> nalas/<br />
streams, flowing along the fault zone/<br />
cutting across the contact <strong>of</strong> the<br />
basement and Gondwana / Chhattisgarh<br />
Super-group <strong>of</strong> rocks, stream sediment<br />
samples were collected. Carbonaceous<br />
shale was observed along the<br />
Kataranganala. Open cast and<br />
underground coal mines <strong>of</strong> SECL are<br />
present near Chhal. A total <strong>of</strong> 33 grains<br />
<strong>of</strong> ilmenite and garnet grains have been<br />
separated from stream sediment samples<br />
and were sent for confirmation by SEM-<br />
EDX. The work is in progress<br />

The iron ore bearing formation<br />
belongs to meta-sedimentary<br />
sequence <strong>of</strong> Dharwarian system <strong>of</strong><br />
Archaeozoic age. The deposit has a<br />
strike length <strong>of</strong> 1530 m. the ore body<br />
long with its surrounding rocks dipped<br />
towards north at 40o – 60o.<br />
Widespread laterisation has been<br />
noticed in the area. The iron ore<br />
bearing rocks <strong>of</strong> this deposit occurred<br />
along southern fringe <strong>of</strong> Chhattisgarh<br />
quadrangle. The ore body occurred as<br />
cap over the country rock <strong>of</strong> the<br />
ferruginous shale & BHQ continued<br />
at the depth for considerable<br />
thickness. About 1.30 million tonnes<br />
iron ore resources were estimated with<br />
grade Fe-61.25%, SiO 2 – 5.80% and<br />
Al 2 O 3 – 2.32%.<br />
Bauxite occurred as weathered<br />
product <strong>of</strong> Deccan trap basalt, as an<br />
irregular & discontinuous lenses and<br />
pockets. Bauxite is generally<br />
pisolitic, brown, hard & compact.<br />
Thickness <strong>of</strong> bauxite was found to be<br />
up to 2 m. About 0.46 million tonnes<br />
bauxite resoures were estimated so<br />
far, out <strong>of</strong> which about 0.24 million<br />
tones wee estimated during the year.<br />
Basaltic lava flows <strong>of</strong> Deccan trap<br />
were capped by thick lateritic pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />
with sporadic bauxite pockets <strong>of</strong><br />
different dimensions. Pisolitic as well<br />
as massive bauxite was found which<br />
is dirty white, grey, light pink to<br />
pinkish brown. Thickness <strong>of</strong> bauxite<br />
was found to be upto 2 m. A total <strong>of</strong><br />
3 million tonnes bauxite were<br />
estimated out <strong>of</strong> which 1 million<br />
tones <strong>of</strong> metal grade bauxite has been<br />
estimated during the year.<br />
Bauxite in this area was associated<br />
with laterite which found over Deccan<br />
trap basalt. Bauxite deposit occurred<br />
as pockets & irregular lenses <strong>of</strong> 100-<br />
200 m in length and upto 3.6 m. in<br />
thickness. About 3 million tones <strong>of</strong><br />
bauxite mineral were estimated.<br />

Coal seams <strong>of</strong> the area occurred in<br />
Barakar formation <strong>of</strong> Gondwana Super<br />
group. Coal also occurred as cyclic<br />
succession <strong>of</strong> coal, shaly coal, carb<br />
shale, grey shale & sandstone.<br />
Altogether 14 coal seams were<br />
encountered. Resources were not<br />
estimated during the year.<br />
Coal seams occurred with Barakar<br />
formation as cyclic succession <strong>of</strong> shale,<br />
carb shale, shaly coal, coal & sandstone.<br />
15 coal horizons have been intersected<br />
in this area. During the year about 29<br />
million tonnes <strong>of</strong> C to G grade coal<br />
resources were estimated.<br />
Main litho units are shale, limestone<br />
& laterite. Limestone is mostly<br />
horizontally bedded, trending E-SW.<br />
Depth <strong>of</strong> the limestone was confined<br />
upto 33 m. Limestone <strong>of</strong> this area is<br />
grey to pink, hard, compact, massive<br />
and stromatolitic. About 80 million<br />
tones limestone resources were<br />
estimated so far out <strong>of</strong> which, 50<br />
million tonnes <strong>of</strong> cement (blendable)/<br />
beneficiable) grade limestone resources<br />
were estimated during the year.<br />
Limestone <strong>of</strong> the area belongs to<br />
Jagadalpur & Kanker formation <strong>of</strong><br />
Indravati Group. Limestone occurred<br />
as small mounds & is horizontally<br />
bedded with local warping. Outcrops<br />
<strong>of</strong> limestone were found in an area <strong>of</strong><br />
0.90 x 0.30 km with a thickness upto<br />
10 m. Deposits <strong>of</strong> high grade<br />
limestone were demarcated around<br />
Villages Chitapur and Devrapal. So<br />
far, 13 million tonnes <strong>of</strong> cement grade<br />
limestone resources were estimated,<br />
out <strong>of</strong> which about 6.70 million tonnes<br />
<strong>of</strong> cement grade limestone resources<br />
were estimated during the year.<br />
Area is mostly covered with<br />
Dongargarh granite with numerous acid<br />
& basic intrusive. Granite block<br />
(dolerite) has been marked as hillocks<br />
with dimesnsion <strong>of</strong> 500 m x 150 m.<br />
Thickness was found to be around<br />
10 m. These rock are suitable for<br />
cutting/polishing purpose. About<br />
75,000 m<br />
(Contd.)<br />
3 granite block (dolerite)<br />
resources were estimated.

about 47% as compared to that in the previous year.<br />
The state is ranked fifth in the country and accounted<br />
for 6% <strong>of</strong> the total value <strong>of</strong> mineral production. The<br />
important minerals produced in the state in 2010-11 were<br />
coal, bauxite, iron ore, tin (conc.), dolomite, limestone<br />
which together accounted for about 98% <strong>of</strong> the entire<br />
value <strong>of</strong> mineral production in the state.<br />
Chhattisgarh was the sole producer <strong>of</strong> tin concen-<br />
trate. The State is leading producer <strong>of</strong> coal accounting<br />
for 21% and dolomite 27% in the total production <strong>of</strong>the<br />
