| It is the processes by which levigation
of China Clay is undertaken: |
| The unit has adopted Wet process which
is conventional, tested and tried and does not involve
much mechanization. This process is in vogue in Kutch
and does not involve much capital investment and is very
well mastered by local labour. We have a very experienced
and skilled staff of 2 supervisors and 6 workers besides
and contract labour. |

| MINING PROCESS: |
| Once an area is approved for active mining,
the overburden is then removed in layers. This overburden
is stockpiled in close proximity to the mine in order
to be used in the reclamation process. When the first
Clay strata is exposed, drill holes are resurveyed and
elevations are confirmed in order to control the extraction
of each individual grade of Clay. The Clay grades are
determined based on the properties indicated in the testing
analysis previously performed. All Clay grades are indicated
on the mining plan in three-dimensional terms. Extraction
is then strictly controlled using backhoes to remove the
levels of Clay in ½ meter to 1 meter depths |
