Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal attends 6th NMET Governing Body Meeting as Chief Minister\u2019s representative<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raipur, 13 August 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chhattisgarh Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal attended the 6th Governing Body meeting of the National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET) at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi, as a representative of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai. The meeting, chaired by Union Coal and Mines Minister Shri G. Kishan Reddy, focused on the exploitation of minerals, their use, and the conservation of nature and the environment. The discussion also included the Katghora area in Korba district, where the Geological Survey of India has confirmed large reserves of lithium across approximately 250 hectares.<\/p>\n

Shri Jaiswal stated \u201cThe lithium mine set to begin soon in Katghora will be the country\u2019s first lithium mine. Lithium is a crucial metal that will steer both the state and the nation towards a new direction of development. With the commencement of this lithium mine, Chhattisgarh will emerge as one of the leading states in the country, and our lithium reserves will play a significant role in achieving ‘Viksit Bharat@2047’.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Mines, Government of India, has issued a NIT on the MSTC portal for the allocation of 20 critical and strategic mineral blocks located in Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir through e-auction.<\/p>\n

Among these 20 blocks, the Lithium and REE block in the Katghora area of Korba district is included. Preliminary surveys by the Geological Survey of India indicate lithium content ranging from 10 ppm to 2,000 ppm in about 250 hectares, with the presence of rare earth elements also detected. Critical and strategic minerals are essential for renewable energy, defense, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, high-tech electronics, telecommunications, and transportation. Currently, the country relies on imports for these minerals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
