INTRODUCTION:
Mr. Shinde & his group from Shahuwadi, Tal- Shahuwadi. Dist- Kolhapur, requested me to inspect the lease area of village Einwadi Tal- Shahuwadi, Dist - Kolhapur. Total lease area is 71.20 Hect of village Einwadi. As a sequel I have inspect the area of following Gat Nos. 70,
73,75,76,77,99,102,103

A village Einwadi is located in survey of India toposheet No 474116 atL at N-16".54' 73" 5l' 42.A" village Einwadi School Location. From Kolhapur city it is accessible via. Malkapur town & village Einwadi side. The inspected area is located nearby Hindalco Mines
ll.l'/E-
Dhangarwadi. Location to Hindalco mines to einwadi applied area is near to this mine area. Total distance from Kolhapur to einwadi approx. 70 Km.
The inspected area which is recommended per grant of mining lease includes private land 7/12.
The basalt is dark gray colored hard compact medium to coarse grained in texture consists of Fe-Mg minerals. The basalt is exposed in valley section and sub plateau area. At several places spheroidal weathering is clearly seen. The lava flows have a capping of laterite to bauxite which is fine grained.
It is complex product of weathering a desalt in hot & moist climate. It is highly porous
rock & it shows every gradation from femrginous to aluminous laterite to bauxite (HigfoGrade).
FIELD INVESTIGATION:
*,,
The traverses were taken in the area. The area is located on Eastern & North Eastern lslopes of part Einwadi plateau is rising up to elevation l0ll meters. The plateau is very few Hector.3rea and other area is slope. An escarpment up to height l0 meter is found on Northem part of lease area. Plateau clearly indicating that much of bauxite occurring on top of the plateau had been separated and transported on Northern slope and Eastern slopes i.e. in the inspected area.
It is commonly observed that the rolled boulder of bauxite & aluminous are embedded in soil. During course of field investigations very big boulder are noticed in the area.
From field observation of recommended atea and area in Eastern of Hindalco Mines i.e. running mines at Dhangarwadi plateau. It is seen that bauxite occurring at Dhangarwadi plateau is very good grade of bauxite. Gat nos. 73 to 74 is boundary of Hindalco mine discuss with Mr. Shinde. Other gat nos are totally slope area. From megascopic observation it is seen that Bauxite occurring in the area is of medium to high grade & most of the Bauxite is of high grade.
The Bauxite boulders are occurring in20a/o of the ffiea & remaining is l0% of plateau thickness of plateau is l0 Meters. Total mineral bearing areais 30% of 71.2Hect.

SUMMARY& CONCLUSION:
A
inspected area is represented by partly plateau
admeasuringT
l.2 Hectare. The bauxite float is exposed in 20% of area inspected &
of area
of area. Boulders (Laterite) 2 to 5 meters thickness. Taking into consideration size of boulders of bauxite area extent of mineralslised zone & specific gravity (2.2) of bauxite the reserves of bauxite are to the order of l.l4 million tones. In addition to these reserves of low Sade bauxite containing 35 to 40 %o AlzO3 are estimated to the order of 1.984 million tones. Total 3.124
is plateau. Therefore 30Yo area is minerals bearing laterite boulders are occurring in 5Yoto 7Yo
million tines.
CONCLUSION:
uil)age Einwadi Tal- Shahuwadi Dist- Kdhapur is sub dySeau area and covered by mostly bauxite to laterite & floated area is 20 %o of boulders. Total reserves are
