Sonbhadra, east UP’s mineral-rich district, could be sitting on a gold reserve of approximately 3,000 tonnes — five times India’s current reserve of 618.2 tonnes — worth over Rs 12 lakh crore. The Geological Survey of India (GSI) has come out with this estimate following exploring for gold deposits for nearly 20 years.
