The <strong>Hutti Gold Mines<\/strong>, also located in Raichur, account for nearly <strong>80% of India\u2019s current gold output<\/strong> at around 1.8 tonnes annually. The legendary <strong>Kolar Gold Fields (KGF)<\/strong>, once among the world\u2019s deepest mines, produced more than <strong>800 tonnes of gold<\/strong> before shutting down in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, with Devadurg added to the exploration map, SCCL is betting big on reviving the region\u2019s golden legacy. The company has earmarked <strong>\u20b990 crore for exploration<\/strong>, with the Centre backing the project through a <strong>\u20b920 crore subsidy<\/strong>. Once exploration concludes, SCCL will submit its findings to the Union government for the next phase of mining licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategic Bidding &amp; Future Roadmap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This success was no accident. Earlier this year, the Centre floated auctions for 13 critical mineral exploration licenses. SCCL entered the fray with bids for three blocks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Platinum Group Elements (PGE)<\/strong> in Madhya Pradesh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rare Earth Elements (REE)<\/strong> in Andhra Pradesh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gold &amp; Copper Block<\/strong> in Devadurg, Karnataka<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By clinching the Devadurg block on <strong>August 19<\/strong>, SCCL signaled its intent to become a serious player in the critical minerals space\u2014a sector central to India\u2019s self-reliance and global competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_20250820_1058316157332861550303067.jpg?resize=640%2C488&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_20250820_1058316157332861550303067.jpg?resize=1024%2C781&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_20250820_1058316157332861550303067.jpg?resize=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_20250820_1058316157332861550303067.jpg?resize=768%2C585&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_20250820_1058316157332861550303067.jpg?w=1464&amp;ssl=1 1464w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_20250820_1058316157332861550303067.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Defining Moment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For over a century, Singareni\u2019s identity has been tied to coal.
