印度开始在Balukona钻井,以提高国内铜和镍产量,这是2025年全国对关键矿物的推动的一部分。 India begins drilling at Balukona to boost domestic copper and nickel output, part of a 2025 national push for critical minerals.

12月在切蒂斯加尔的Deccan GoldMine' Balukona区开始钻探, 这是印度努力推动铜、镍、白金和等关键矿物的国内生产的关键举措。 Drilling begins in December at Deccan Gold Mines' Balukona block in Chhattisgarh, a key move in India’s effort to boost domestic production of critical minerals like copper, nickel, platinum, and palladium. 预计该场址每年的铜和镍产量约为10 000吨。 The site is expected to yield around 10,000 tons annually of copper and nickel. 该公司(印度唯一的上市黄金勘探公司)也在安得拉邦经营Janagiri黄金项目,第一年生产450至500公斤黄金,最高产量为750公斤。 The company, India’s only listed gold exploration firm, is also operating the Jonagiri Gold Project in Andhra Pradesh, producing 450–500 kilos of gold in its first year, with peak output of 750 kilos. Deccan金矿正在全球扩展,在吉尔吉斯斯坦、芬兰和莫桑比克开展了项目,包括莫桑比克的锂浓缩项目,目标是每天200吨。 Deccan Gold Mines is expanding globally with projects in Kyrgyzstan, Finland, and Mozambique, including a lithium concentrate project in Mozambique aimed at 200 tons daily. 对芬兰和莫桑比克的投资估计分别为4 000万美元和3 000万至4 000万美元。 Investments in Finland and Mozambique are estimated at $40 million and $30–40 million, respectively. 政府于2025年启动的国家关键矿产任务正在支持这些努力,尽管高额拍卖溢价可能无法持续。 The government’s National Critical Mineral Mission, launched in 2025, is supporting these efforts, though high auction premiums may not be sustainable. 印度每年进口价值近70 000瓦罗的关键矿物,国内生产虽然不多,但标志着关键的第一步。 India imports critical minerals worth nearly ₹70,000 crore annually, and domestic production, while modest, marks a crucial first step.
