Jabalpur: Geologists have confirmed a major gold discovery in the Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh, an area previously recognized for its iron and manganese deposits. The findings, located in the Mahnagwa Kewalri region of Sihora tehsil, are the result of years of dedicated exploration and sampling. This unexpected reserve has generated considerable excitement among geologists and local officials.
Already home to 42 operational mines extracting iron, manganese, laterite, limestone, and silica sand, the district has built a reputation for contributing to India’s mineral economy. Much of its iron is exported internationally, including to China.
The breakthrough comes from an extensive geological survey conducted by a team from the Regional Office of the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources. The team carried out soil sampling across Mahangwa Kewalri and confirmed the presence of not just gold, but also copper and other valuable metals through chemical analysis. “The evidence is conclusive,” said a senior official from the department, adding, “The chemical tests confirm substantial traces of gold, along with copper and other precious minerals. This could be one of the most important mineral discoveries in central India in recent years.”
