Odisha Mining Corporation Advances Gold Exploration with 20 Tons Discovery
Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) has identified gold-bearing targets across several districts in Odisha, India, marking a significant step towards establishing a new mineral industry in the region. The discovery, estimated at 10 to 20 metric tons, has led to the auctioning of a gold mining block in Deogarh, with other districts such as Keonjhar, Sundargarh, and Koraput also being targeted for exploration. The Geological Survey of India has upgraded exploration work from G3 to G2 level, indicating more detailed sampling and drilling. This advancement suggests a move towards potential commercial mining, although official reserve figures have not yet been released.
