Abstract

The Upper Brahmani Basin from Vedvyas to Renagal Reservoir is a lower Gondwana geographic deposit related to the paleo sedimentation of Kunjar Darjing sub-basin rocks along the upper Brahmani Basin of Bonai Granite Phase II. The lithology of the Lineamentis schist, shale, quartzite, gold, uranium, laterite, and banded iron formation, including Banded Hematite Quartzite (BHQ), Banded Hematite Jasper (BHJ), Banded Hematite Shale (BHS), in iron ore deposits like hematite,magnetite, and goethite. The present study attempts to correlate the Upper Brahmani Basin (UBB) with the Upper Carboniferous (lower Permian) Talchir boulder bed, which has coarse- to fine-grained sandstone and shales of the Iron Ore Group (IOG) banded with quartzite, Jaspar, and shales over Archean granite genesis. The methodology applied during the study includedregular site visits, a literature review, a geographical investigationsystem, and remote sensing technologies using ERDAS software. The ethanol-botanical flora, fauna, and microorganisms are studied, and their medicinal use by the aboriginals is explored.
