GOLD MINES IN INDIA..
The news of discovery of gold mines with 3,500 tonnes of gold reserves in Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadra district broke in regional newspapers on February 20. Two days later, much of the Indian media, including Scroll.in, was abuzz with the news that the Sonbhadra mines had gold deposits estimated to be around 3,350 tonnes and worth Rs 12 lakh crore, which is almost five times India’s current gold reserve.
The reports quoted a District Mining Officer and estimated that with this find, India’s current gold reserves of 626 tonnes would jump to second place in the world behind the US, which holds 8,133.5 tonnes of gold.

The news of discovery of gold mines with 3,500 tonnes of gold reserves in Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadra district broke in regional newspapers on February 20. Two days later, much of the Indian media, including Scroll.in, was abuzz with the news that the Sonbhadra mines had gold deposits estimated to be around 3,350 tonnes and worth Rs 12 lakh crore, which is almost five times India’s current gold reserve.
The reports quoted a District Mining Officer and estimated that with this find, India’s current gold reserves of 626 tonnes would jump to second place in the world behind the US, which holds 8,133.5 tonnes of gold.
Even though the reports mentioned “gold deposits”, they equated it to actual gold mined and added the entire 3,350 tonnes to India’s current gold reserve. Such exuberant reporting continued till later in the day when Geological Survey of India denied making any such discovery. In this article, Alt News will trace how the Indian media fell for unverified news.
The coverage in Jagran news specified that it is a discovery of gold ore and it quoted Rohtash Kumar, professor of geology of Benaras Hindu University, who explained that the amount of gold that can be extracted from it depends on the grading of the deposit. However, this is not how it was interpreted by the time the news reached English media.
One of the earliest tweets on Feb 20 interpreting 3,350 tonnes of gold ore as 3,350 tonnes of actual gold mined was Mahesh Hegde, founder of the dubious website, Postcard News. Hegde linked the finding to India’s gold reserves implying that the entire 3,350 tonnes would be added to India’s gold reserves. This line of thinking was subsequently parroted by several mainstream media outlets.
