Deccan Gold Mines is set to commence drilling in Chhattisgarh this December, focusing on extracting critical minerals such as nickel, copper, platinum, and palladium.
The company’s Balukona block in the region has multi-commodity potential, with expectations of producing 10,000 tons each of copper and nickel annually. This marks a significant step in strengthening India’s domestic supply of strategic resources. Deccan Gold Mines is also working to expand its global footprint in rare-earth metals, conducting due diligence on projects in Europe and Southern Africa.
Alongside this, the company operates the Jonagiri Gold Project in Andhra Pradesh, India’s first gold mine developed in 80 years, which is expected to produce up to 750 kilos of gold at peak production.
