MINRAL RESOURCES OF BARMER DISTRICT
1.
INTRODUCTION
Occupying an area of 28387 sq. kms, Baemer district lies in the
western corner of Rajasthan. The district head quarter is situated on the
National highway No 15 which runs almost north south and divide the
district in tow equal halves. The district is served by Jodhpur – Munaba
meter gauge section of Northern Railway and a net work of ill weather
roads. Its entire and as such it has got great strategic importance and
recently a good net work of boarder roads have been developed which
provides good transport facilities.
Being part of the vast Thar desert, water was the main problem of this area
in the past dut new majority of the towen & villges have been linked with
water reserve ors drawing water from tube wells and as such water problem
is solved to a great extent.
2. PHYSICAL FEATURES :
The general appearance of the area is that of a desolated country with sand
dunes here and there. The average height of the plains east of Barmer is about
150m. adove M. S. L. The hills near Jaisai (weat of Barmer) rise to the height
of 500 to 600 m.adove M. S. L. The region west of Barmer-Consist of hillocks
mainly composed of rhyollite and Graintes. East wards from Barmer.i. e.
towards sindri the cover of sand and sand dunes decreases and beyond Sindri
the dunnes are few. The area detween Barmer and Sheo is mostiy covered with
blown sand, except in the vicinity of Bothia, west of Hathi Singh ki Dhani and
Koatra, where sand stone forms small hillocks.The high hills occurring
between Barmer and Chotan are mostly constituted by rhyolites and granites of
Malani igneous suit.
The Barmer distict is dominantly from the hill carry water during the few
showers the area receives, but is lost in the desert sand within a short distance.
The district experiences extreme climate typical of desert. The period from
December to February constituted the cold season where as April to June is
hot. dust storms are frequent in May and June, which are the hottest months
when maximum temperature reaches upto 480 c.
Rainy season is from June to Sept. Average rain fall is abut 25 cm.
3. GEOLOGY :
The Geology of the district is obscured by extensive desert sand & sand of
dunes. The rock formations are mostly exposed in patches. The general
stereographic succession worked out by Geological survey of India is as under
:

The malani igneous suit of rocks are most extensive & are oldest in the area. they
consist of volcanic rocks, rhyolites granites & associated intrusives like basic
dykes aplites & quartz veins. Beside these volcanics, other rocks exposed in the
area are sandstone belonging to Lathi, Fatehgarh & Mandhi formations, Akli &
Kapurdi formations constituted by bentonite & Fuller's earth. they deing soft, in
the plains & mostly coveed under blown sand.
4.MINERAL OCCURRENCES:
Due to the absence of metamorphic rocksto which most of the minerals
belong, on matamorphic minerals of economic was noted. The minereal wealth of
the district is consituted by non metalic minerals like Bentonite, Gypsum, Fuller's
earth, Selenite, Slilceous earth Silica Sand, Lignite, Sandstone etc. The details are
as under.
4 -1. Bentonite:
Bentonite is an important naturally occurring clay of great commercial
importance possesing inherent a bleaching properties. Two types of Bentonote are
generally identified, one called swelling type & another non swelling type. The
seelling type has low ratio of Soda to lime. The important bentonite bearing
localities of Barmre district along with porbabla reaerves are as under :MAP -

The total reserves comes out to be 20.28 million tonne. These reserves were by
Geological Survey of India by hand auger drill & as such if systematic drilling
provig is done, the reserves will be much larger than indicaed adove. Recently
department took Som e pitting to assess the quality & reserves of Bentonite &
drilling has deen propsed.
Except the Mahawar area which is about 5 km. south of Barmer, all other
arer fall north west of Bmer and can de approached by Barmer-Sheo road.
At present mining activity is going on mostly in Akli thumdil aera where 8
parties including R.S.M.D.C. are working.
The mineral is either sold as lumps or ground to powder by the units
established at Marmer and Jodhpur. A Govt. of Rajasthan under taking
R.S.M.D.C. has also errected its pulveriser in Barmer and it is under operation
since December 1982.
4-2. Gypsum :
Gypsum occupies a plaxe of pride among all the other minerals found in
Rajasthan. The State accunouts for more than 90% of the country's production
which comes from bikaner, Baemer, Jaisalmer, Shri Ganganagar & Nagur
districts.
In Barmer district Gypsum is occurring at Kawas Hema Ki Dhani, Uttarlai
Kural,Shivkal,Gagria,Bajawa,Chitter ka Par, Agoria,Ratau etc. Out of these at
Daboi, Gunga,Chitter ka par & Hema ki Dhani,Gunga area are being mined by
R.S.M.D.C. Recently tow moer gypsum deposits have been located by the deptt.
Both of than can be approachad by Barmer Sanchor National highway No.15. The
area are piprali and Jhakharda. piprali area is about 10 kms. east of Ram Ji Ka Gel
where as Jhakharda is due west of Ram Jika Gel at about 12kms. bistance. The
quality at both the places is good. The Jhakhardaarea has been applied by
R.S.M.D.C. for mining lease. According to mineral policy of Government this
mineral has deen reserved for Govrrnment under taking only.
Most of the Gypsim produced form the district is dold to cement factories.
Previously it was also used by Sindary Fertillizer plant. The CaSO4 2H2 O
content of the mineral occuring in the district is varying from 60%to 80%
4-3. Selenite :
Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum forming flat transparent foliated
plates. It occur as aggregate of single or twinned crystals fully covered with clay
material. It is used for the manufactuer of plaster of paris.
Inbarmer districte occurrencer have been reported from Thob and Chitter
Ka Par. The Thob area is at present under mining lease with M/S Neel Kanth
Chemical woeks. Barmer. Here thickness of Selenite bed is varying from 10 to
0.04cm. The Chitter Ka Par area has now been taken on lease by R.S.M.D.C. for
gypsum and Selenite mineral and has started mining recently.
4-4. White Clay :
In Barmer district the white clay deposit inter stratified with the sandstone
are found near Bothia, Nagurda, Gunga and Nimbla.
Near Bothia the white caly deposits are exposed in a nala section about 1.5
km. south west of village, G.S.I. did some prospecting in the past and indicated
varying six caly beds interstratified with sandstone varying in thickness from 1 to
3 km. The area is about 28 kms.north of Barmer railway station. The caly is pale
white, partly Gritty, plastic and consist mostly of Kaolinite. This clay has also
been encountered in the dore holes drilled dy department for lignite between
Kapurdi & Bothia. The tests conducted indicates that it can de utilised in low
grade pottery.
At Nagurda a dug well struck pale white to light pink caly at a depth of 235
ft. from surfaca, the bottom of caly has not reached upto a death of 240 ft. The
area is about 45Kms. North of bormer railway station. A samle tested at
C.G.C.R.I. showed vitrfication at 1450 °C It may be suitable for low grade pottery
and colour after firing was found ti be grey with dark red specks.
At Gunga a bed of cream to white plastic clay 1.4 m. in thickness occurres
about 1.2 km.west of the village. The clay vitrifies at 1320 °C It may be suitable
for low grde pottery.
At Nimla the white clays are occurring at adout 1 km. south of nimla it is a
fine grained and vitrifies at 1400 °C. It may be suitable for earthen ware and
sanitory ware.
4-5. Silicious Earth :
Silicious earth is mainly composed of colloidal silica. It resemble chalk ro
clays but contain chiefly 69to 81 % silica and 4 to 12 % alumin with little
calcium, magnesium and ironoxide. it is usually white yellow or cream in colour.
It is homogenous, porous, easily breakable, light in weight . it has high absorption
power . It is regadeb as an excellent fillter specially for coloidal one antibiotic
products. Microporocity of sili cious earth helps removing such colloidal particles
which easily do not pass through common fillters, it is also used as polishing
material for manufecture af insulationg bricks, as filterpaper, synthetic rubber etc.
In Barmer district sillcious earth occurring are available neer village Matti
Ka Gel, Jato Ki Dhani, Bariyara ect.
The reserves position of these blocks is as under :Name of block

All these areas are approachable from Barmer-Jaisalmer road via village
Khodal, Bariyara etc.
At present four minng leases exits near village Bariyara, Matti Ka Gel and
Gharvi Khurd.
4-6. Fuller's Earth :
Fuller's earthis a variety of non plastic clay which has the power to
decolourise oil, fats & greases. It is chiefly used in refining vegetable oil, animal
fat etc. It is also used for washing hair.
It is occurring at Kapurdi and Bhadka where mining activity is going on.
Recently while while drilling for lignite. Department encountered Fuller's earth in
number of holes and it is expected to cover a wide spread area with variable
thickness of onvr bueden.
4-7. Vermiculite :
Vermiculite a variety of mica is occurring near simalya in Pachbhadra
tehsil of Barmer district, The area was prospected by depart ment and have proved
its continuity upto 4 m. depth and likely to continue. The average width adout 1.5
m.There are other such discontinuous bands with total lengut of 2km. It can be
approached from kaludi village through Agravel road.
The village Kaludi itself is located on Barmer –Balotra road and is adout 90
kms. from Barmer. About 10.000 tonnes of reserve are expected from the area.

4-9. Lignite :
The Kapurdi lignite field of Barmer district streaches over about 25 kms. in
length from north to south and 10 kms in width from east to west. The area falls
on toposheet No 400/5. The Kapurdi village hige ( 71° 33' : 25° 55' )falls on
National high way No. 15 runnning between Kandia and Shri Ganganagar.
Investigation by drilling in the area was started in Oct. 1980 by the State
department of Mines & Geoology with the help of one machine. Later on to
accelarate the work, more machine. were added in Jan. 1981. April, 1982 and
August 1982. A Total 9040.00 m drilling spread over in 70 bore holes, covering
an area of about 10 sq. km. was done by theState department and then stopped its
work and now fuether work is being done by Mineral Exploration Corporation, a
Goveernment of India under taking. they have done about 80.000 m drilling and
work is contine. About 60 million tonnes of lignite has been proved in Kapurdi
area asn beside it established lignite occurrence near Jalipa and Kawas.
Geological survey of India is carrying out drilling work further north of
Kapurdi block ( between Bothia and Bhadkha villages ) they have done adout 800
m drilling spread over in 39 bore holes No. encouraging results are obtained so
far.
From the exploratory drilling done it has deen found that indivsual lignite
seans varying in thickness from less than 50.00 cm. to maximum of 7.60 with
cummulative thickess reaching upto 17.40 mts. The thick seams at places show
tendency of splitting into a number of thin seams with intervaning parting of black
shale without lignite seams top middle and bottom have deen indicated.
Since the explorotion woek is still going on as such more reserves are likely
to de added to it.
Assuring 45 initial moisture, the avarage ash value is 11% volatile 20%
fixed caebon 17% and calorific value 2700k. Ca. Kg.
The area seems to be promissing and thermal power plant based on if may
come up in near futuer.
4-10. Granite :
Granite, a modern decorative stone is occurring in the district at number of
places. The importantbeing Mokalsar, Virater, Bhachbhar, Dhorimana etc. The
pink & coloured granite of the area take good polish and possidility of taking out
blocks is there. Presrntly nomining lease exist for it .
