Believe it or not! Bihar has country's largest deposit of Gold ore
India TV NewsBelieve it or not, but one of the country's poorest state, Bihar, is the goldmine of the nation, literally, holding country's largest resource gold ore, more than traditional leaders. The National Mineral Inventory data on gold resource in the country, presented in Parliament shows that Bihar has gold ore resource of a staggering 222.8 million tonne, or 42.21 per cent of the total gold ore resource available in the country. The mystery around gold resource of Bihar gets deeper as not an inch of mineable land has so far been used in the state and not even an ounce of gold ore dug up. Sources said that a lot of gold ore resource identified in Bihar falls in Naxalite ridden regions that makes government agencies' task of researching the prospect further difficult.
