Bihar Gold Reserve: Gold is a treasure that always keeps people happy. Finding gold brings happiness, prosperity, and progress. Even in the Satya Yuga, kings and emperors preferred to wear gold jewellery. India was once known as the Golden Bird, and it still has numerous reserves.
Did you know that India’s largest gold mine has been discovered in Jamui, Bihar? Could so much gold boost India’s economy? According to a report, approximately 222.8 million tons of gold have been found in Jamui, Bihar. Bihar has surpassed Karnataka, Rajasthan, and other states in this regard, and this is being widely discussed. This treasure is being considered not only a source of hope for Bihar but also a booster dose for the country’s economy.
Jamui’s treasure will boost Bihar’s momentum.
A gold mine has been discovered near the Jamui district in Bihar, creating a buzz. Jamui alone holds 44 per cent of India’s total gold resources. This figure is estimated to be equivalent to approximately 22.8 million tons of gold ore. Experts believe this gold is not just a landfill, but could prove to be a catalyst for future economic growth.
Until now, industrial investment and mineral exploitation in Bihar have been limited. However, if this discovery transforms mining in practice, the state could become not only self-reliant but also a hub of the national economy. This gold is being widely discussed.
Bihar has always been at the forefront of the gold rush.
When it comes to gold mines in India, Karnataka, famous for its Kolar and Hutti gold mines, used to be the first state that came to mind. But now, that narrative has changed. The amount of gold buried underground in Jamui, Bihar, represents approximately 44 per cent of the total gold ore.
According to the Geological Survey report, the “gold field” here is quite large. If mining begins here, Bihar could become a hub for gold production in the country. This could spark new investment.
Niti Aayog and the Geological Survey of India have already recommended detailed surveys of the gold belts in Bihar and Rajasthan. Foreign companies, including mining agencies in Canada and Australia, are also showing interest in the Indian market.
