Etymology

Sleemanabad, literally "Sleeman's town", was named after William Henry Sleeman, a British soldier and administrator during the colonial period.[1]

Copper deposits

Copper deposits are found in Sleemanabad. As per Geological Survey of India's DID Report (2011) on base metals, in this area the mineralisation is mostly along faults, fractures/ joints trending N10° - 20°W to S10° - 20°E. Baryte veins and limonitic patches are noticed in the brecciated quartzites. Geochemical sampling showed results for copper. [2]

gollark: I don't know, it might be interesting.
