n nothing short of a jackpot for the Uttar Pradesh government, geologists have discovered massive gold deposits in Sonbhadra district of eastern Uttar Pradesh. The discovery comes after two decades of search by the Geological Survey of India and the Uttar Pradesh Directorate of Geology and Mining. As per the UP state GSI officials, there are two goldmines with around 3,500 tonnes of gold ore in the Naxal-affected Sonbhadra district. This is around five times the current gold reserves of the country which stands at around 626 tonne.
According to District Mining Officer KK Rai, the government is thinking of putting these deposits on lease for mining. The GSI had first said in 2005 that there were gold deposits present in Sonbhadra. The claim that goldmines are present beneath the mountains in the Naxal-hit district of Uttar Pradesh were confirmed in 2012. As per officials, a seven-member team has been set up for survey and soon auction of the blocks will begin.
According to media reports, the goldmines are situated in Hardi village and Sonpahadi in Mahuli village of Dudhi Tehsil in the district. Rai said that while 2943.25 tonne gold deposits are located in Sonpahadi, around 650 tonnes are in Hardi.

Any one else notice that the outline of the Uttar looks like a mountain goat?
An Uttar surprise.
“Uttar Pradesh? Is that by Salt Lake City?”
No, it’s next to Silicon valley.
We’ve got a whole bunch of spare democrats we can give them to do the digging,
A bit odd that Tony Beets spent millions moving two old dredges to his mine site only to have the water license denied by the government a year later.
Read that his company was cited for water contamination when an employee dumped a gallon of gasoline into a pond and lit it on fire—on camera with Beets in the background.
Maybe the reason the water was denied by the Government?
“Uttar Pradesh”
It’s on the appetizer menu at Old Bombay Restaurant.

Wow. Going to search the whole thing. I bet it ends in tragedy.
Omgosh, that IS the tragic ending.
Hmmmm. Would they have those kind of issues in Indjiah?
Yogi...
That’ll buy a lot of “Pic-a-Nic” baskets.
Read that his company was cited for water contamination when an employee dumped a gallon of gasoline into a pond and lit it on fire—on camera with Beets in the background.You "read that"? IOW, fake news.
BTW, he didn't "lose" his water license. Just like Parker, they're not renewing the licenses when they expire(d).
In 2005, according to a media report, Adityanath was involved in a 'purification drive' that involved the conversion of about 1,800 Christians to Hinduism in the town of Etah in UP. He said that he wouldn't stop until he turns Uttar Pradesh and India into a Hindu state.
Should we be worried about our bears becoming Hindu nationalists?
The Indians have come to a fork in the road and they’re taking it.

“Todd Hoffman couldn’t find gold in a jewelry store.”
Parker Schnable.
lol....
Either way it would suck to spend a million or two relocating gold dredges only to find out the following year they can’t be used.
Theres a gold mine that came to my attention a few years back. They were offering really cheap shares which to a degree makes some sense. A good chance to get in on the ground floor, right?
After a bit of investigation I found that what they had access to should have really been called a mercury mine. I have no doubt that there is gold there, Im just guessing its going to cost three times as much as they make to dispose of the mercury and other things that come along with it.
Good chance to take a pass.
Not fake news.
