District Chittoor
3 Exploration
Exploration Agency M/s. BGML, Geological Survey of India (GSI) & MECL carried out
exploration at different time sand mined by M/s. BGML.
Total Number of 1. Chigargunta Block:-
Boreholes with meterage Block-I :
drilled Area-0.33 Sq.kms;20 BHs - 3136.80m drilled; Trenches-20 no.s -
400 cum; Samples 380 (surface and drill core)
Block-II:
Area-0.37 Sq.kms; 7 BHs - 844.35 m drilled; Trenches-3 no.s - 250
cum; Samples 150 (surface and drill core)
Block-III:
Area-0.44Sq.kms; 25 BHs - 2847.80 m drilled; Trenches-50no.s -
1400 cum; Samples 500 (surface and drill core)
2. Bisanatham Block:-GSI conducted 7 surface Diamond Core BHs
with 450inclination with azimuth S600 to 700 E considering the strike
of the formation. Recovery in all the bore holes is more than 80%.
RL of the Bore Hole collars varies from 783m to 810m. Further M/s.
BGML drilled 8 underground horizontal bore holes to examine the
strike continuation of the main lode and to explore parallel ore
bodies.
Borehole Spacing(Density) 1. Chigargunta Block:-50m (confirmable with G1)
2. Bisanatham Block:- 7 BHs by GSI and 8 BHs by BGML
4. Quantity of Minerals
Number of Mineral Zones Chigargunta Block: Shear controlled quartz lode gold mineralization
occurs in parallel 9 mineralized zones (W4,W3,W2,W1, E1,E2,E3,E4&E5)
within shear zone extending for 3 kms strike length and 1 km width with
different lodes having variable strike length with maximum being 850 m for
W2 in Block-V.
Bisanatham Block: Four parallel Auriferous gold lodes occur in this area
(One main lode, 2 footwall lodes and one hanging wall lode.)
Trend (Dip and Strike) Chigargunta Block: Ore body strikes along N-S to NNE-SSW with 70° dip
towards East to vertical at places.
Bisanatham Block: The strike of the mineralized zone is N100E - S100W
with steep dips of 600-700 towards west.
Total Thickness The gold mineralization occurs as quartz lodes in shear zone extending for
strike length of 3 kms with width of 1 km. The width of gold lodes ranges
from 0.20m to 8.5 m with average being 1.70m.
