The Kaniha OCP is belongs to Kaniha geological coal block which is located in north - central edge of Talcher coal field. Kaniha geological coal block spreading over an area of 12.4 sq. km comprising of rocks of Talcher, Karharbari and Barakar formations. The central and northcentral part is capped by laterite and lateritic soil. Surface exposures of Barakar formations are scanty. Outcrops of Talchirs are being seen in the area west of Ambapal village in the north-east and beyond the north-western boundary of the block. Occurrences of 3 main coal seams, viz., II, III, IV and Local seam have proved under the cover of soil and sub soil by detailed exploration in Kaniha geological coal block. Seam-II occurs in nine split sections which combine with each other in different manner in different parts of the block. Seam-III occurs either in one combined section in the southern & central portion of the block or in two split sections in other parts of the block. Seam - IV also occurs in two split sections. One local seam between seam - II & III occur only in north western part of the block.Kaniha block is structurally highly complicated which is traversed by 29 faults, but area of phase - I mining operation is mostly fault free and structurally simple where the quarriable seams are Seams IV to II. The general direction of strike is North-East South-West and dip is in the direction of North-West South-East. To describe attitude of the beds the entire block has been considered in three separate zones viz., western, central and eastern. Western Zone The western zone is the largest of the three zones where anticline is covering major part of the mining block and syncline is found in the northern part. The attitude of beds varies from WNW - ESE to NNW - SSE. Towards the south in this zone the anticline has been partly represented south of fault F8 - F8. Central Zone The central zone, occupying at central part of the block which is structurally complicated due to a number of criss - cross faults found with differential throw. In the southern part of this zone the strike is more or less E-W. Eastern Zone The eastern zone is in the form of a well-defined basin which shows a slight openness towards the S -W and closure at the core & intercepted by a few faults.
