This research paper basically focuses on a new unexplored Limestone deposits, located in Gudha, Pagra villages in Simariya Tahsil District Panna, Madhya Pradesh. The area falls in forest land and revenue land admeasuring about 2980.56 hectares. The Geochemistry and economic aspect of this Limestone for cement and other manufacturing industries are discussed in this paper. The rocks in the area belong to Bhander Limestone deposit of Bhander group of Upper Vindhayan Super group. The study area shows excellent exposures of Limestone of variable thickness of about 10 to 20 meters, covering approximately 760.830 hect. This Limestone is Stromatolitic, Pink, light to dark grey, coarse to fine grained, compact, bedded and is massive. During the field study a total 19 nos. of random samples were drawn across the strike of limestone deposit. These samples were analysed to decode the major oxide contents such as CaO, MgO, Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, LOI from Advance Research Laboratory, Government Science College, Jabalpur. Percentage of CaO varies from 23.89% to 52.24%, MgO from 0.71% to 17.37% and SiO2 from 2.84% to 33.61%. Based on chemical analysis and physical appearance the Limestone of the area is classified as Dolomitic Limestone, Cherty / siliceous Limestone, Low grade shaley Limestone and Light grey to Drak grey High grade Limestone. The tentative estimated reserves in the area is 285.311 million tonnes. Broadly Limestone deposit of this area appears to be suitable for cement industries for making cement or may be used as fluxing agent in steel industry.
