DGML: Critical Mineral Drilling Starts in Chhattisgarh.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd (DGML) is set to begin drilling operations in Chhattisgarh this December, targeting critical minerals including nickel, copper, platinum, and palladium.

The company’s Balukona block has demonstrated strong multi-commodity potential, with projections of producing 10,000 tonnes each of copper and nickel annually. This initiative represents a major step toward strengthening India’s domestic supply of strategic and high-value minerals.

In parallel, Deccan Gold Mines is pursuing international expansion in rare-earth and critical metals, currently conducting due diligence on projects across Europe and Southern Africa.

Additionally, the company operates the Jonagiri Gold Project in Andhra Pradesh — India’s first gold mine developed in over 80 years — which is expected to achieve peak production of up to 750 kilograms of gold annually.
