Situated at the foothills of the Aravalli Range, the Khetri Copper Belt is an 80-kilometer-long metallogenetic province extending from Singhana in the north to Raghunathgarh in the south. It hosts significant copper mineralization and is part of the North Delhi Fold Belt. Major deposits in this region include Khetri, Kolihan, Banwas, Chandmari, Dhani Basri, and Baniwali Ki Dhani, along with newer deposits at Dholamala, Akwali, Muradpura–Pacheri (Jhunjhunu district), and Devtalai (Bhilwara district) in Rajasthan.
