1. BACKGROUND
1.1. About GMRDS

GMRDS was constituted under Societies Registration Act 1860 and Charitable Trust Act 1950
and was registered at the District Registrar’s Office, Gandhinagar and Assistant Charity
Commissioner Office, Gandhinagar respectively. GMRDS was formed in the year 2002 to
support the mineral industries and to provide the technical support for mineral administration
under the control of Commissioner of Geology & Mining (Industry and Mines of Government
of Gujarat). The main tasks of GMRDS are to undertake research and development in the field
of mineral analysis & testing of ores, rocks & mineral samples submitted by the Commissioner
of Geology & Mining, public sector undertakings, private sector mineral industries, research
institutions, laboratories etc. so as to assess quality of ores & minerals by chemical, physical
testing and instrumental analysis.
1.2. Exploration Projects
The Government of India has updated the acts and regulations pertaining to the major mineral
sector and the State has accordingly formulated rules for minor minerals in line with the
changes made by the central Government. The new regulation mandates State regulatory
bodies to allocate mineral blocks through auction only, which have to be explored to a defined
level to be auction ready.
Gujarat state has huge potential resources of various minerals and to develop and exploit
these deposits systematically and scientifically by way of auction, exploration to the G2/G3
level [as defined in the Minerals (Evidence of Mineral Contents) Rules, 2015 and Gujarat Minor
Mineral Concession Rules, 2017, as applicable] is essential.
GMRDS intends to undertake exploration activities in various major and minor minerals like
limestone, marl, bauxite, silica sand, china clay, bentonite, etc. occurring in the State.
Now, for achieving its objectives of exploration, GMRDS intent to empanel technically
competent and financially sound agencies to undertake all the activities necessary for
exploration of the blocks/areas as detailed in the Terms of Reference.

4
2. TERMS OF REFERENCE
2.1. Objective
GMRDS intends to empanel Agencies for undertaking exploration activities in Gujarat State.
All the agencies empaneled for any particular type of work would be then invited through a
Limited Tender enquiry to submit its quotation for specific work on the scope and terms of this
empanelment.
2.2. Suggested Scope of work

The empaneled Agencies will be required to perform either full or part of the following activities
as part of this assignment:
A. Geological Mapping
a) Carry out geological mapping on 1:4000 scale and fresh outcrop sampling,
documentation and marking of outcrop samples of the project area for delineating the
mineralised zone and deposition.
b) The work may include pitting and trenching and if required sampling of outcrop rock.
c) Conduct sampling and arrange for despatch of samples to the Petrography & Mineral
Chemistry Laboratory, Gandhinagar.
d) Make a plan to collect and then despatch the coarse, powder and pulp samples to
Petrography & Mineral Chemistry Laboratory, Gandhinagar for document archive and
storage, marking each sample with a permanent tag
B. Survey Work
a) GMRDS will provide the proposed borehole location plan of all the areas to be covered
under exploration.
b) The Agency has to make its own arrangements to locate and mark the proposed
borehole location on the site. Agency will also determine the RL and Coordinates of all
the boreholes using DGPS.
c) In case where the borehole location shown on plan is not feasible on ground, the
alternative location should be decided in consultation with CGM/GMRDS Geologist.
d) However, in case of unavoidable circumstances whatsoever, if work of a block could

not be started or not possible in a particular area than GMRDS/CGM may provide
alternative blocks as per availability after due approval.
e) The Agency has to mark in cadastral maps clearly mentioning land types i.e.
Government waste land, private land, Forest land etc.

5
f) Location of all surface features, natural or artificial, shall be surveyed by Agency for
their 3 dimensional co-ordinates. Spot levels at suitable intervals shall be taken up for
generating surface contour at specified intervals for the entire area.
g) The detailed survey for topographical mapping shall be carried out with reference to the
primary order of control stations or by establishing secondary order of control stations
depending upon nature and extent of the area.
h) Any unusual condition or formation on the ground i.e. forest area, location of rocks,
outcrops, possible aggregate deposits etc. shall be surveyed.
C. Exploratory Drilling
a) The Agency will provide at least a minimum number of core drill rigs as decided by
GMRDS on project-to-project basis with necessary accessories and manpower and
other ancillary equipment for exploratory core drilling with NQ size. In case of clays,
Agency has to undertake dry drilling.
b) The boreholes will be vertical. Maximum deviation & drift of 1° is permissible.
c) For delineating the mineral/rock reserve vertically as well as horizontally and also to
determine the total lithology, the Agency will have to drill 10-15 nos. of wide spaced
boreholes up to a depth of 200-250 meters at locations as instructed by GMRDS. The
drilling may be stopped earlier at the instruction of GMRDS’s geologist or in case
deccan trap is encountered earlier in that borehole.
d) Drilling of boreholes, if required, after studying the drilled borehole litho-logs and basin
configuration, may be closed as per the instructions of CGM/GMRDS site Geologist.
e) While drilling, wherever water table is encountered, depth of the water table should be
recorded and to be mentioned in the driller logs. Further, this data has to be mentioned
in the final exploration/geological report.
f) The core recovery in all the formation should be at least 85% except in fault zone,
weathered zone, soil, sand and structurally disturbed area.
g) In case of lower core recovery in normal geological conditions or jamming of the

boreholes before completion of planned depth, re-drilling shall be carried out by the
Agency at its own cost on the instruction of CGM/GMRDS representative. The borehole
location should be as per the instructions of the CGM/GMRDS and the Agency will be
free to do non-coring drilling up to the depth from where the core drilling is required with
stipulated recovery.

for transportation of the core boxes along with logging details to the Petrography and
Mineral Chemistry (PMC) laboratory, Raisan, Gandhinagar or any other location as
instructed by the field Geologist of GMRDS/CGM. If the core is misplaced or lost then
the Agency will be held responsible and shall be penalised as decided by GMRDS.
k) Coloured photographs of the core recovered, with proper numbering and display,
