Gold reserves discovered in MP: Jabalpur, previously known for its iron ore mines, has now yielded gold, exciting geologists. Gold and other metals have been found alongside iron and manganese ore in the Mahgawan Keolari area of Sihora tehsil in the district.

While a gold deposit was discovered in Katni district a few years ago, this new discovery, after a prolonged search, is located in Jabalpur, adjacent to Katni.
