The North Singhbhum Mobile Belt (NSMB) in the eastern Indian shield is an excellent example of a diverse lithological domain with multiphase shear/fracture zones. It is a well-acknowledged prospective region known for various mineralizations, e.g., Cu, Au, U, and Fe. The present study was conducted...
