Sleemanabad, literally "Sleeman's town", was named after William Henry Sleeman, a British army officer and administrator. During the colonial period Sleeman was one of the key figures responsible for bringing an end to the Thuggee Cult.[2]

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.[3]
