Press Release on Deccan Gold Mines Discovers Significant Nickel-Copper-PGE Mineralisation at Bhalukona in Chhattisgarh.

Deccan Gold Mines, India's only listed gold and critical minerals mining company, has announced significant discovery results from its maiden drilling campaign at the Bhalukona Nickel-Copper-PGE project in Chhattisgarh. The first drill hole intersected over 60 metres of mineralised gabbroic layers, including nearly 30 metres of potentially economic sulphide mineralisation above 0.2% nickel equivalent averaging approximately 0.4% Ni_Eq. The highest-grade intersection recorded was 2.6 metres grading 1.01% nickel, 0.29% copper, and 0.2 g/t palladium from 103.4 metres depth. The company has completed approximately 1,200 metres of core drilling across 7 drill holes over a 1.3-kilometre mineralised strike zone, with all holes confirming disseminated and massive sulphide mineralisation. The discovery could potentially become India's first nickel-copper-PGE mine.
