The dust emission rate due to ore transportation by roads was estimated assuming that the ore transportation carried out through rail networks to the maximum and only the minimum number of vehicles be used for the transportation of ore and other mining related activites as given in Table 5. Emission rates was calculated based on the prevailing vehicular density on the respective roads in order to assess its contribution of dust emission on roads. The estimated reduction in emission rates was the result of the utilization of the proposed conveyor belt and rail networks (Table 5).
