ANDHRA PRADESH
Mineral Resources
Andhra Pradesh is the sole holder of country's resources of shale & slate and is the leading producer of apatite, barytes, ball clay, dolomite, garnet, laterite, mica, limestone and vermiculite. The state is the sole producer of asbestos. The State accounts for 94% barytes, 78% kyanite, 70% corundum, 61% ball clay, 21% limestone, 41% mica and 33% garnet resources of the country. The State is endowed with the internationally known black, pink, blue and multicoloured varieties of granites. Krishna-Godavari basin areas of the State have emerged as new promising areas for hydrocarbons, especially natural gas. Important minerals occurring in the State are apatite in Visakhapatnam district; asbestos in Cuddapah district; ball clay in West Godavari district; barytes in Anantapur, Cuddapah, Khammam, Krishna, Kurnool, Nellore and Prakasam districts; calcite in Anantapur, Cuddapah, Kurnool and Visakhapatnam districts; china clay in Adilabad, Anantapur, Chittoor, Cuddapah, East Godavari, West Godavari, Guntur, Kurnool, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Nellore, Rangareddi, Visakhapatnam and Warangal districts; coal in Adilabad, East and West Godavari, Karimnagar, Khammam and Warangal districts; corundum in Anantapur and Khammam districts; dolomite in Anantapur, Khammam, Kurnool and Warangal districts; felspar in Anantapur, Cuddapah, West Godavari, Hyderabad, Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nellore, Rangareddi and Vizianagaram districts; fireclay in Adilabad, Chittoor, Cuddapah, East Godavari, West Godavari, Kurnool, Nalgonda and Srikakulam districts; garnet in East Godavari, Khammam and Nellore districts; granite in Anantapur, Chittoor, Cuddapah, Guntur, Karimnagar, Khammam, Krishna, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Nellore, Prakasam, Rangareddi; Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Warangal districts; iron ore (hematite) in Anantapur, Cuddapah, Guntur, Khammam, Krishna, Kurnool and Nellore districts; iron ore (magnetite) in Adilabad, Prakasam and Warangal districts; lead-zinc in Cuddapah, Guntur and Prakasam districts; limestone in Adilabad, Anantapur, Cuddapah, East Godavari, West Godavari, Guntur, Hyderabad, Karimnagar, Krishna,

Remarks Reserves/Resources estimated Reconnaissance stage investigation (G-4) was taken up during FS 2010-12 in Eastern Ghat Supergroup ricts to assess the potential of the area for chromite mineralisation. The rock types encountered in and surrounding areas are pyroxene granulite and charnockite with enclaves of pyroxenite. The general trend of the foliation is NW-SE with moderate to steep southwesterly dip. In the area to the north of Village Koduru , a mappable pyroxinite body, which is about 28 m in length.and 17 m in width, is recorded that showed chromite mineralisation. The chromite mineralisation is confined to ultramafic rocks . In Kondapalli area the chromite occurred as lenses, bands, pockets and disseminations within steeply dipping and pitching lenticular bodies of pyroxenite. Insitu chromite mineralisation was recorded in all old chromite opencast quarries present in the area. The chromite ore is massive in character, black in color with sub metallic to metallic luster. It showed granular texture with high specific gravity. At places, stringers of chromite with 5 cm in length and 1cm in width are also observed within charnockite unit. The petrographic studies indicate that the chromite occurred in the form of disseminations in association with sulphides in pyroxenites. The analyses of rock samples collected from old workings, 30 m to 75 m length 0.5 m to 2.5 m width in dimensions around Village Kondapalli, indicated Cr2O3 value ranging from 20.82% to 43.04%. The work is in progress.

The borehole drilled so far intersected lithounits belonging to Barakar Formation and Talchir Formation. Two regional interbanded coal-carbonaceous shale zones with cumulative thickness of 2.30 m and 7.31 m were recorded at very shallow depth between 23.40 m and 39.41 m. Three local seams of 0.70 m to 0.76 m thickness between 97.64 m and 103.00 m depths have been identified. The work is in progress.

In borehole-7, only uppermost coal/carbonaceous shale zone, namely Czone of Lower member of Kamthi Formation was intersected at 557.55 m depth. The cumulative coal content is about 4.98 m in 10 splits (ranging from 0.30 m to 1.00 m). Borehole - 8 intersected Lower Kamthi Formation (Coal / carbonaceous shale zone- C of 40 m thick and zone-B 26.55 m thick) and Seam zone A of Barakar Formation (72.60 m thick) having cumulative coal thickness of 25.50 m in 6 split sections between 414 m and 641.40 m depth.

Reconnaissance stage investigation (G-4) was taken up during FS 201012 in granite-greenstone terrain in this block to search for kimberlite rock, the host rock for diamond. The work was taken up through REC mapping sampling and laboratories studies. This area is a part of the Eastern Dharwar Craton known for emplacements of several kimberlite pipes and formed the catchment for the ancient alluvial diamond workings of the River Krishna and therefore is a suitable target area for indicator mineral surveys. Around 80-100 kg of stream sediment samples were collected from suitable trap sites from 4th and 5th order streams for regional, and for detailed sampling. . The samples were processed in a Garytz jig and the heavies were examined under stereomicroscope for kimberlite indicator minerals. Further work is in progress.

Five numbers of trenches have been made on the NE SW trending quartz reef. Analytical results of the three trenches were received. Two samples of trench indicated 295 ppb and 45 ppb Au. One bedrock sample of the quartz reef near the canal indicated 65ppb Au. A few bedrock samples from ultramafic rock in Veligallu South Block indicated 205 ppm to 92 ppm Ni. Sulphide mineralisation is noticed in a metagabbro body of 60 m to 80 m wide having strike length of 100 m. EPMA studies of the samples indicated presence of Ag. The first borehole was drilled to intersect the mineralised zone exposed in trench TLT-2 at 60 m vertical depth where the samples have indicated gold value of 0.78 g/t x 5 m and 0.298g/t x 2 m.

Production
The value of mineral production in Andhra Pradesh at ` 18,577 crore in 2010-11 was 3% higher as compared to that in the previous year. Almost all important minerals are produced in Andhra Pradesh. The principal minerals produced in the state were coal, iron ore, limestone, natural gas (utilised), petroleum (crude), barytes, manganese ore and dolomite which together accounted for 55% of total value of mineral production in the state during 2010-11. Coal alone contributed 44% and minor minerals accounted for about 45% of the total value of mineral production in the state. Andhra Pradesh claims the third position among the states in the country with a contribution of 8% to the total value of the mineral production. It is the sole producer of asbestos in India and also contributes almost entire out put of barytes and mica (crude). In addition to this, it is also a leading producer of vermiculite, sand (others), apatite, laterite and quartz contributing 90%, 8 7%, 67%, 54% and 43% in the total

production of respective minerals in the country. It is the second leading producer in the country and accounts for 43% for felspar , 37% each for silica sand and sillimanite and 27% for ball clay. Among the important minerals produced in the state, the output of quartzite and sillimanite increased manifold and that of vermiculite by 98%, ball clay 27%, garnet (abrasive) 22% and silica sand 18%. However, a decline in production was observed in kaolin 89%, iron ore 77%, clay (others) 68%, apatite 33%, dolomite 32%, steatite 23% and lime kankar 21% as compared to the out put of previous year (Table - 5). The value of minor mineral production was estimated at ` 8,287 crore for the year 2010-11. The number of reporting mines in the state was 427 in 2010-11 as compared to 456 in the previous year. The index of mineral production in Andhra Pradesh (base 1993-94=100) was 215.80 in 2010-11 as against 215.63 in the previous year.
