MINE LOCATION Mine Lies between 270 16’ 54’’ N and 270 18’ 14’’ N and 950 49’ 40’’ E and 950 53’ 00’’E falling in the Survey of India Top sheet No. 83 M/15 Altitude is 175.01m above MSL 3. MINE HISTORY o Tipong mine was started in 1924. The two Adits of the 14th level mine were started in 1947 at the height of 212 m above the ground level. This mine was exhausted in 1965. o The 10th level was started in 1952 and lasted till 1980. o In order to extract coal lying between ground level and the 10th level, the Pragati Khani Adit was started in 1961 and constituted one of the four mines of Tipong Colliery. o The Agragati Khani and Prativa Khani incline has been discontinued since recent past. o Both of the two major coal seams viz 60’ seam and 20’ seam have been worked by Bhaska and Tipong method from the surface down to local drainage (Tipong River) level (also called zero level by NEC). o These seams have been depillared in some part of the property. The 60’ seam has been worked in 2 section viz Top and Bottom sections. o ‘Descending Shield’ method and ‘Flexible Roofing’ method of mining have been successfully introduced in Tipong colliery with the help of erstwhile USSR. o The mines are of degree III gassiness. o The geo-mining condition in the mines is very difficult due to the steep dip of the seams, generally ranging from about 40 in the western part to as high as 75 in the eastern part. o The area is devoid of any open cast mines excepting a small old abandoned quarry in Tipong east near Tipong River. o While ‘5ft seam’ has been worked by underground method in a very small patch in the Tipong East area only the other two seams viz. New ‘7ft’ and ‘8ft’ seams have not been worked due to their inconsistent nature. 4. CLIMATE, FLORA & FAUNA o Humid but short summer, a prolonged rainy season and a fairy cool winter. o Max. Temp. 360 C, min. 60 C. o Annual Precipitation:- 200 to 300 cm o Relative Humidity:- 87 to 91% o Practically 8-9 month rains. o Three tier luxuriant growth of vegetation and categorized as ‘Evergreen Tropical Forest’ o Vegetation belong to first order canopy comprises very tall trees with broad leaves like Halang, Halak, Nahar, Champa, Amari etc. o Second order canopy like Bamboos and canes. o Third order canopy evergreen shrubs like twiners, long grasses etc. o Area free from wild animals, but presence of deer, panthers and reptiles has been reported. Leeches are seen in large numbers.
- 5. 4 5. TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE o Thick rugged terrain with elevation ranging from 175 to 500 m above sea level. o The Tipong River, originating from the hills located south of the area, flows in northwesterly direction cutting across the ridge down to the elevations of 170 m above MSL. o Tipong River flows though the centre of the block. o Lekhapani River flows outside the block boundary in the west. 6.

- 9. 8 MULTI HORIZON DEVELOPMENT AND MULTISECTION DEVELOPMENT At present coal between 0L and -7L are extracted through -7L horizon. Two inclines are being driven at inclination 1 in 3 to extract coal between -7L and -14L through -14L horizon. In future, to exploit coal reserve between -14 L and -21L, Dhalai drift has to be extended for ( 1158 m ) to reach at -21L (R.L.= -135.05) History of Dhalai Drift:- 1. Started in 10.06.1984 2. Drivage completed 885m 3. Present status Discontinued since 02.07.94. 4. Balance 1056 m 5. Proposed 1) Recovery 8 2).Mechanized drivage to reach to -21 L. PRESENT WORKINGS Property on eastern and western side of Tipong pani river has been extracted above drainage level in Agragati Khani and Pragati Khani respectively. On the eastern side of river, Agragati Khani (Coal dip) working were confined between (-) 1L ( RL= 163.64 m) and (-) 5L (RL= 103.10 m). The middle section of 60 feet seam thinned out and became inconsistent beyond 7th cross measure of (-) 5L and presently working is not carried out in Agragati Khani. On the western side of the river, Udit Khani (Dip mine) workings are confined between 0L (RL= 189.63 m) and (-) 7L (RL= 78.70 m) in bottom section of 60ft seam. At present no working has been commenced in top section of 60ft seam and 20ft seam. Present mine working extends to a distance of 2100 m from the Incline Bottom. Presently, 2 F/W drivages, i.e. 0L and -7L by drilling and blasting and 3 galleries in coal at -7L,-5L and -3L by pick mining is being done. All operations are manual in nature. NEW-DIP WORKING To extract coal between -7L and -14L, New dip development is in progress to reach -14L horizon. For this purpose, two dip drivages of gradient 1 in 3 from -7L, one for haulage road in bottom coal and other in top coal for traveling purpose are being developed manually with interconnections and has reached -12L horizon (RL= 13.77 m). UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT 1. IN STONE: Footwall drivages through the rock are being driven from brake/incline bottom in an advancing way parallel to the strike of the coal. Footwall serves as the transport road and intake airway. The intake air travels through raises in the workings driven in coal seams which have an opening at the upper ventilation level. Mode: Drilling and Blasting, loading is manual.
- 10. 9 2. IN COAL: The development is carried out by manual pick mining which is being continued along the strike length and is proposed up to a distance of 2.7 km from the incline bottom. 11.

- 11. 10 DEPILLARING The depillaring operation consists of the following steps: a. Funnel making b. Slot cutting c. Ring hole blasting FUNNEL MAKING Funnel is made between upper sub level i.e. 2nd sub level and lower sub- level i.e. Ist sub Sub-level between two adjacent levels 1.2m x 1.2m short cross measure (X-M) are developed towards roof leaving 0.3 to .6m coal below the roof and exposing the seam floor at 2nd sub level. From the XM dip holes are blasted for making funnel. Just below the neck of the funnel two pairs or props are set at 1m to 1.2m interval. These props are called “safety props “which prevents the goaf rock from gravitating down the raise when roof rock caves in after coal extraction. Funnel is extracted 1.2m x 1.5m in bye of the raise under extraction, 4.5m out bye and 0.3m – 0.6m below the roof with exposed floor. This funnel serves as bunker and guides the blasted coal to the raise for subsequent gravity flow.
- 12. 11 SLOT CUTTING After completing the funnel, holes are drilled for first in – bye ring, slot is started from the X- M already developed during funnel making operation at ring level just above the 2nd sub level. It is made between 2nd sub level and Ist sub level above the ring level from where ring holes are drilled & blasted. Width of the slot is extended from floor to 0.3m to 0.6m below the roof. The slot is made by dip and rise holes drilled and blasted from the XM. This operation provided free face to the ring hole blasting from the ring level. RING HOLE BLASTING Before the slot is started, the ring holes are drilled in the in-bye pillar with a burden of 1.2m to 1.5m and then the slot is completed. All the holes in the ring are blasted simultaneously. Rings are designed according to the seam thickness, gradient and interval between level and sub-levels. Charges per hole and length of holes are predetermined. Ring holes are drilled in the out-bye pillar also and blasted till 4.5m pillar is left against the next raise. These operations are repeated in the subsequent raises and line of extraction is keptdiagonal. When seam thickness exceeds 6m, one more set of levels and sub levels are developed in the hang wall side with the help of short X-M. Funnel and slots are connected and two rings are drilled and blasted simultaneously or hang wall side ring is blasted first. Blasted coal gravities down the raise to the nearest conveyor and finally to main loading chutes.

Local Methane Detectors (L.M.D.) with audio-visual alarm and tripping relay circuits are placed to address the issue of emission of methane gas in coal faces. 2. Necessary interlocking arrangements with the face machinery control switch gears can be done to control power supply when percentage of inflammable gas exceeds more than 1.25%. Out of 3 no’s of LMD , 2 no’s have already been installation at Dip mine. One has been installed at 7th x-m of new dip and another has been installed at main return of Pragati Khani. 15. DRILLING AND BLASTING Once the face is advanced for more than 6.0m,the coal mass between the two sub-levels 12-16m is drilled by long hole drilling at around 3 holes per square meter with a maximum length of 10m .Each hole is charged with around 1.5 kg of security explosives, stemmed with salt cartridges (to prevent ignition) and clay stemming materials, and blasted at a time to get a pull of 1.0m. Drawing of blasted coal :Blasted coal from roof massif caves /flows down due to gravity through the windows (made by cutting the wire nets at around 4.0m interval of size 0.5- 1.0m X 0.5-1.0m )onto the rear chain conveyor of evacuating coal out of the face .The coal flow is controlled manually by closing/opening of the windows so created. As soon as flow of cave rock starts along with coal the window is closed and the operation is shifted to another such window till there is flow of coal. The success of the sub-level caving depends the fracturing of the coal massif, coal strength and angle of internal friction leading to higher level of coal recovery. 16. MEN TRANSPORTATION At Present 1.Workmen has to walk from surface Incline top to -7 L Incline bottom via companion /traveling dip at an inclination of 1 in 4 for 438 mts. 2. From the Incline bottom, Workmen has to travel on foot for 2.1 KM at -7L horizontal to reach the face. 3.For working at New Dip -12 L ,workmen has to walk from New dip top to 10 X-M at new dip via companion /Traveling dip aligned at an inclination of 1 in 3 for 235 mts. 4. At Pragati 0L, workmen have to be travel in level for a distance of 2 KM from mine entry. 5. For working between 0L & -7L, workmen has to travel through ladders fixed in traveling raises of dimension 850 mm/1000mm diameter.
- 17. 16 Observation 1. Efficiency of workmen gets reduced by 35% as non effective working hours (traveling &rest) for entry &exit has gone up to 3 hrs in 8hrs shift due to extended traveling range. 2. Movement of persons is arduous in nature. 3. D.G.M.S. has directed to install man riding arrangement in view of long & arduous traveling. 4. People are to travel in steep gradient. Benefits 1. Jump in efficiency of operation 2. Increase in period of effective working hrs. 3. Human friendly operation. 4. Timely transportation of men &material resulting in improved availability of materials for face operation. 5. Quick withdrawal or entry of persons especially during emergency. MATERIAL TRANSPORTATION At present Material transportation is affected in coal tubs or trolleys through Main & Tail haulage at 0 L &-7L levels. Though incline at Dip Mine & New Dip, material transportation is through direct haulage. From level places materials are transported to working places manually &from those places through steeply inclined raises to lower working levels. Whole operation is manual in nature, time consuming, involving large number of persons & dependent on adaptability of workmen along steeply inclined working planes.
