Geologists discover tonnes of precious minerals in Indian waters




KOLKATA, INDIA: Scientists from the Geological Survey of India (GSI) have discovered the presence of millions of tonnes of precious metals and minerals deep under the waters that surround peninsular India.
The huge presence of marine resources was first identified off Mangaluru, Chennai, Mannar Basin, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and around Lakshadweep in early 2014. The amount of lime mud, phosphate-rich and calcareous sediments, hydrocarbons, metalliferous deposits and micro nodules that geologists came across was a clear indication that deeper and more extensive exploration could lead to a larger treasure trove.
