Copper is found in Dharwar and Aravali ranges in the veins of metamorphic rocks. Copper is available in the form of sulphite and chalcopyrite ores. India has just 0.1% of copper deposit of the world. About 95% copper in India comes from Madhya Pradesh (Balaghat and Betul), Jharkhand (Singhbhum, Hajaribagh and Palamu), Rajasthan (Jhunjhunu, Alwar, Rajsamand, Bhilwara and Udaipur), Andhra Pradesh (Guntur and Kurnool) and Karnataka (Chitradurga). The Kolihan mines, Mandhan mines, Mosabani mines and Rakha mines are the famous copper mines in India.
