Abstract:

India’s gold mine has four basic types:greenstone belt type,conglomerate-type,alluvial gold mine and associated gold mine.India’s gold mine has a feature of wide distribution,relative concentration,less large and rich mineral deposits,and the great depth and so on.Greenstone type gold mine which is the most important gold type in India,concentrates Precambrian greenstone belt in South India craton and central India craton.Kolar gold mine and Hutii gold mine in the East of Darwar craton in south India are typical greenstone type gold mines. Kolar gold mine is a super-giant gold deposit with an average gold grade of 16 g/t,and gold reserves > 1 000 t;Hutti gold mine is a large gold deposit with an average grade of 4.85 g/t,and gold reserves >150 t.The proved reserves of India’s gold mine is very limited,but a lot of smaller gold deposits are widely distributed in India craton greenstone belts,which indicates there is a very good potential of gold resource.Increasing the investment in the exploration and development of India’s gold mine will make more gold resources with great value be discovered and may also completely change the status quo of India gold.

Key words: gold mine, geological characteristic, craton, greenstone belt, India
