History

 Re-discovery of the various gold fields in the Hutti belt by the Hyderabad (Deccan) Company took place in the closing years of last century after 1980 and a mine of considerable size was established at Hutti (then in Hyderabad State) between 1887 and 1920 when the Main Mine was developed by the Hutti (Nizams's) Gold Mines Co., an offshoot of the Hyderabad (Deccan) Company and mined upto 1056m. depths recovering 7.40 tonnes of gold from about 0.38 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 19.48 g/t. A little development work was also done during this period on Oakley's & Village Reefs simultaneously. The mines were closed during 1920 as permit development and areas had been worked out and insufficient funds did not permit development and discovery of new reefs or extension of reefs then being worked, apart from difficulties faced from World War I during this period.
1887 - Gold Mining was undertaken by "Hyderabad (Deccan) Company" for the Nizam of Hyderabad.
1880 - 1920 Modern mining took place by M/s. John Taylor's and Sons. During the period between 1902 to 1918 only the Main Reef alone produced 3.8 lakhs tonnes of ore and yielded 7.41 tonnes of gold @ an
average grade of 19.45 g/t. and was mined upto 1052 m. depth.
1920 - Mine closed down due to paucity of materials, funds, and also attributable to World War I.
1938 - Detailed exploration by geological & geophysical surveys, diamond drilling and dewatering of the Village Reef mine were conducted, which resulted in rediscovery of Zone - I and Oakley's Reefs.

Business[edit]

HGML had an accumulated loss of ₹30 crores ($7.5 million) for the period 1995-2000 but made up this loss a bit by generating profits of ₹19 crores ($4.75 million) in the first nine months of 2001.[6] It went back into red in the year 2002-2003 and was on the verge of closure before it bounced back in the year 2004-2005 to post a profit of ₹48 crores ($12 million).
According to a preliminary audit for 2011-12, the company has achieved a gross profit of ₹551.13 crores before tax by selling gold and wind power generated from the Chitradurga wind plant. This is the biggest profit generated by the company in its history.[7]
