Abstract

The Paleoproterozoic age of the Aravalli Supergroup bears most complex deposit of economically important strata bound base metal- lead and zinc. The Rampura Aguchamine which is located in the Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, NW India has a SEDEX-type of deposit with its highly deformed nature. The basement ensemble represented by the graphite-mica sillimanite gneiss shows an intricate tectonic evolutionary history. The potentially hazardous nature of this large open-pit mine requires a proper geotechnical studies for mine designing and general operating procedure to allow safe and economic mining. The inherent geotechnical complexity parameters incorporates the physical and mechanical properties like porosity, swelling,moisturecontent, degree of saturation, anisotropy, durability, elasticity, and plasticity.If appropriately analyzed, these traits can convey valuable information by using advanced techniques. Slope Stability Radar (SSR), Inclinometer, prism, piezometer, rock bolting, rock stitching have been manoeuvre to oversee the RQD, RMR, Q system and variant geological criterion.
