Chapter 389: 8 Million Carats a Year

It's very lively, it's really lively! Every time a diamond is found, it causes someone to show off, and then there is a confrontation between people!

"I said Alyosha, you call this a diamond? I look a little smaller than the eye of a needle, if it weren't for my good eyes, I almost wouldn't have seen it!"

"Lin Ming, the one you kid just now is not half the size of mine, and a sneeze has to fly......"

Except for the three experts, almost everyone participated in the spray battle, which was fun!

Of course, there is a prerequisite to be eligible to play this game: you have to find the diamond first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Don't let go of any small stones that look like diamonds, no matter what color, just pick out all that feels like and then let the experts identify them.

Even two pilots are involved in this happy treasure hunting operation, and the diamonds here are not as much as they do, but at least they can enjoy the fun.

After almost two hours, all 118 kilograms of ore were screened, and a total of 162 gem-quality rough diamonds were obtained, weighing more than 10 carats!

Most of the diamonds are only a few cents in weight, or even only one or two cents in size, and the ones on the top carat are always rare, and the same is true for hair diamonds.

Among the diamonds found were about 5 carats between gem and industrial grades, which were the two larger grains that needed to be ground off the surface before they could be determined.

The small particles are directly classified as industrial diamonds, and the gray-brown diamond with a weight of four or five carats that Tang Jichao found before was unfortunately thrown into the pocket where the industrial drill was put after careful inspection.

Combined, the number of industrial-grade diamonds is a staggering 480, weighing nearly 48 carats!

"No, the ratio of the two levels of diamonds in this mine should be about the same, but how can they be so rich?!"

Zhang Nan is a little difficult to accept!

Yes, too rich, more than 20 times the general perception!

And it's not the same as I remember: the diamond enrichment in this mining area is about three or four carats per tonne.

Now it's still counted, it's all 8-90 carats per ton!

The three experts were also dumbfounded: there has never been such a rich diamond mine in the world, this is not scientific!

The bodyguards and pilots didn't understand the exaggeration of this data at first, but after listening to the experts' introductions, Guan Xingquan, who had already returned, said: "No matter what it does, Anan will make a fortune, there will always be your benefits, do you still hope to find nothing?!"

Well, I thought that I would be satisfied with going to find some sands, but it turned out that every shovel dug up was dog's head gold, which is better than being busy in vain!

I don't want to, because there is a roar of engines in the air: the cargo "Double Otter" is back.

When the plane docked, there was no hurry to unload the cargo: it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone forgot about the meal after having fun just now.

If you don't have enough to eat and don't have the strength to work, eat first.

Zhang Nan thought that he was not in a hurry, found Guan Xingquan, and chirped a few crooked words.

Back at the open-air table, I got myself some bread, red sausage, and nori soup, and I talked about it casually.

Nicole saw that her man seemed to have explained something to Brother Guan, which made Guan Xingquan and Paul find a few pilots to talk to.

asked Zhang Nan in a low voice.

"It's not a big deal, it's just to get those four people to work for us. ”

Nicole nodded: That's the best, the news here is too exaggerated, and it's best to ensure absolute secrecy until there is no staff stationed for a long time.

There will always be people who steal mines, and in less than half a day, it will be thousands of dollars, and even if a non-disclosure agreement is signed, Nicole feels that if she changes to herself without telling anyone else, she will probably come here to steal mines for a few days and make a fortune.

......

During this time at such high latitudes, the daytime is a bit unbelievably long, almost like daytime.

As soon as the meal was finished, no one in the camp had to stay, and all of them went to two points a kilometer away to collect ore.

Collect almost 100 kilograms per location, which is heavy enough to carry back!

Continue to start construction, and wait until 9 o'clock in the afternoon, before the sun sets, and finally finish.

It's a lot more normal: about 4.5 carats per tonne in one location, and only three carat zeros in the other.

"Bonanza, absolute bonanza!"

Xiang Zhangsheng gave a definition here, which has exceeded the index of doubling the scope of "rich mine", and gem-quality diamonds can reach more than 30%, which is a very good proportion index.

While preparing dinner, Xiang Zhangsheng said: "There is a mining area in Botswana where the gem-quality rough diamonds can reach 80%, and the annual output is 2 million carats. The proportion of ore here is not comparable to that over there, but it is already very good. ”

Zhang Nan listened, didn't speak, he didn't expect that Botswana's mine with the world's largest proportion of gem-quality diamonds was his own, it was someone else's territory.

But not to mention the group of rock tubes more than ten kilometers away on the land to the north, even if you are on the island, there are four rock tubes, but one of them is in the lake next to the island - the depth is less than one meter, and it can be mined by fencing it with a cofferdam at that time.

The largest rock tube on the island is at his feet, and it can be mined on a large scale on the surface for more than 10 years, and then underground for five or six years.

At its peak, production was at least 8 million carats of gem-quality rough diamonds a year, four times the annual output of Botswana's super bonanza!

What is the annual production of gem-quality rough diamonds in the world?

With 80 million to 90 million carats a year, one of your own pits is almost 10% of the world's output!

Xiang Zhangsheng was still sighing there, because Huaxia would not be able to find such a rich diamond pit, otherwise he would not have been distressed by the fact that the mine was about to close down in the previous year.

Xia Mili, who was sandwiching luncheon meat into two slices of bread, asked him: "Xiang Gong, how much diamond production does China produce in a year?"

"Not much, the three mining areas together are about 200,000 carats, which is about the ninth largest in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Zhangsheng stepped on the moss under his feet, and said: "At most two years, Huaxia's diamond production will definitely rank tenth, and this island will have an annual output of at least one million carats." ”

Everyone had no more doubts, Zhang Nan knew the result, the other two engineers believed their own judgment, and the bodyguards and pilots believed the engineer's prediction.

By the way, from now on, those four pilots can already be regarded as Zhang Nan's actual employees, because Guan Xingquan chatted with them just now and gave them better treatment and benefits than they are now.

And the pilots are not stupid, they already know in half a day that this Mr. Allen will make a super fortune with the diamond mines here, not to mention that the new boss is originally super rich!

The most important point is: at present, the signboard of this "Xingchen Diamond Group" sounds big, but the actual situation is: Lao Tzu's team has just opened, and there are only a dozen people and seven or eight guns!

Being a veteran of any future mega company, even if it's just a pilot, is better than being an ordinary pilot of a travel company!
