A gold mine has been found in Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh, India. A ton of gold locks have been discovered recently in the ground floor of two places, local administration sources claim.
The breakthrough was achieved by a joint venture between the Geological Survey of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh’s Department of Geology and Mines.
According to sources, the Geological Survey of India team has been searching for gold in the area since 28 years. After a long search and deep research, the presence of gold was found in the area in 2002.
The Geological Survey of India team says there is gold in the hills of Sonobhadra. In all, they said there were thousands of tonnes of gold deposits.
On Thursday, KK Rai, a mining department official in Sonabhadra district, said that two gold mines have been found in Sonaphari and Hardi areas of Sonabhadra district. The uranium reserves are also likely, he said. The search will begin soon.
According to administrative sources, after confirming the presence of gold mining, the government plans to lease the two gold mines for mining.
A committee of seven experts has also been formed to decide on the matter. The committee will inspect the entire area and report to the Mineral Resources Department tomorrow.
