Qiao Shan shook off the test report in his hand and said: "The copper ore in the upper layer, mainly chalcoccite, chalcorite and azurite, does not have many impurities, and the average grade has reached 58! It is worse than the first-class ore! It is simply a super-grade ore......."

"What does grade 58 mean?" Xie Anping asked.

"I don't understand this? Are you embarrassed to open a mine?58 is the copper content, that is, 100 tons of ore, and 58 tons of copper can be smelted......" Xie Anping began to show the superiority of the second generation of the mine.

"Oh. That's 42 tons of useless, it's not good...... A hundred tons of coal, if there are 42 tons of coal gangue, it is not a good mine......" Xie Anping muttered.

"You...... You're ...... I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!Master Li...... Let's discuss the price of ore......" Qiao Shan was so angry that he ignored Xie Anping and went to Li Dongwen.

The price of copper ore is generally sold to smelters at a 5% to 6% discount according to the copper content. For example, now this ton of copper ore, grade 58, is containing 0.58 tons of copper, if the price of copper is 20,000 tons, it is 11,800 yuan, a five-fold discount, it is 5,800 yuan, this is the price of a ton of copper ore.

Qiao Shan said: "The grade of the mine is really good! I just don't know how many reserves there are, and I haven't calculated it yet......

Li Dongwen smiled slightly. How much is the reserve, that's not up to buddy?

The measurement of the amount of reserves is actually an approximate figure, and the assessed ones must be different from the actual reserves. Explorers try to evaluate as much as possible, so that they can show the results of exploration.

However, people who buy mines will make a hard discount on the basis of the exploration report, which is basically the rule of the trade, and everyone knows it.

"Then you hurry up and explore, my two factories are still waiting for the rice to be cooked. ”

After Li Dongwen finished speaking, he went down the mountain and left.

Johnson transferred two more drilling machines, and now four machines are drilling on this mountain at the same time.

The drilling depth was uniformly adjusted to 300 meters, and the cost was reduced a lot and the speed was much faster.

To Xie Anping and Qiao Shan's disappointment, there was no trace of copper ore in the land that the two of them circled later, and more than 20 wells were drilled in vain, and millions of drilling fees were wasted.

The exploration team drilled several more inclined shafts around the hill and finally determined the approximate extent of the mining area.

A week later, the simulation of the mining area was drawn, the upper layer is a mushroom head, about 600 meters in diameter, about 50 meters thick, and the diameter of the lower layer is gradually narrowed, the narrowest is about 500 meters, and the thickness is more than 10 meters.

Don't dislike this small mine, the calculated reserves are scared to death!

Qiao Shan got this preliminary survey report, and he was shocked when he saw the numbers!

Copper reserves of 50 million tons!

This is a world-class mine! How can I afford this small body!

This is not a copper mine, this is a landmine! It will be nationalized in a minute!

Must be revised!

It must be kept strictly confidential!

Qiao Shan hurriedly contacted Xie Anping and came to find the exploration captain together.

"Lao Kong, we have been friends for many years, I think about you first when I have business, but you, aren't you harming me?...... I can understand you coming up with results, but you can't do that this time......"

Captain Kong defended: "Boss Qiao, this is real data, I didn't dare to inject water into it, this may really be a super big mine......"

Qiao Shan: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't say that in the future......"

Captain Kong: "......"

Qiao Shan: "I'll double your salary this time...... Tell your men to keep their mouths shut...... The data is revised...... A tenth of it...... We may mine ...... in several phases"

After explaining the captain of the exploration team, Qiao Shan and Xie Anping began to worry.

Mineral resources, no matter who discovers them, belong to the state. If you make a small fuss, the state allows you to mine, and if you make it bigger, it won't be yours.

"Alas...... It's a big deal......"

"Let's take it easy...... 100,000 tons per year, 10,000 tons per month, our grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren...... It's all done...... If you dig for 500 years, you can pass it on......"

"It stands to reason that this piece should have been explored a long time ago, right?

"This mine, in fact, doesn't occupy much space, the exploration well is missed, and the ...... can't be found at all."

"How did Master Li figure it out?"

"Send the exploration team away tomorrow...... Let's dig a little bit leisurely, move a little bit, and make 18,000 tons a month, let's get it first......"

"Do you want to tell Master Li about this?"

"Say it sooner or later, ...... early"

Xie Qiao and the others reported the matter to Li Dongwen, but Li Dongwen didn't care.

"As long as it's enough for my two factories. If it's not enough, then open another ......"

What's the situation?

You say that if you open a mine, you will open a mine?

Is the mine self-raised?

Waiting for you all along?

The two of them were in a trance for a while, what about you blowing water, or are you playing really?

Li Dongwen said: "Don't be stunned, two of you hold on, there is still a big mine waiting in Ganzhou." ”

And a big mine?

This mine has already made our hearts tremble, and the mine boss is not easy to be!

Qiao Shan said: "Here, the explorers have withdrawn, and they can basically dig directly." The burial is relatively shallow, the mountain skin is not too thick, directly blast a hole, open the operation face, almost an open-pit mine, the excavation cost is very low, we will start as soon as possible. ”

Xie Anping said: "Ganzhou, it's almost over. Settle down here, and next week, we will go to Ganzhou to enclose the land and strive to come back with another mine. ”

Qiao Shan said: "I transferred Lao Kong's team over first, and stood by at any time in Ganzhou, so as not to let them talk nonsense." ”

Li Dongwen: "Ganzhou, I'll go with you too." ”

Xie Anping: "That's unbelievable! With Master Li in charge, we are so relieved......

Qiao Shan suddenly remembered something and said: "Yesterday, Erqing Company urged us to hand over the work, saying that the refinery infrastructure and plant have been built, and they are waiting for trial operation." ”

"Isn't the half-year construction period still up yet?" asked Li Dongwen.

Xie Anping said: "There is still more than a month, but it is also fast, aren't we afraid that we will not be able to deliver the work when it is due, and the progress will be a little earlier." ”

Li Dongwen said: "At the end of the month, we should also come back from Ganzhou, and I will go to the refinery to check again." ”

August 23rd. Heat.

Li Dongwen, Xie Anping, Qiao Shan and others returned to Yu County, Ganzhou.

Although there is iron ore in Yuxian County, the iron ore is really not worth much, and the grade is not high, and even the steel mills are unwilling to accept it. If the burial is deep, the cost of mining exceeds the price of ore, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, there are not many mineral merchants who come to Yu County to mine iron ore. The good ore with shallow grade, high grade and large reserves has long been famous, and the rest are some leftovers, which are not profitable.

The price of iron ore is not much more expensive than coal, but it is much more difficult to mine.

When the Yuxian government heard that some investors had come to enclose land around Jingtie Mountain, their first reaction was that these people were thieves and came to the iron mine.

For decades, I don't know how many exploration teams have come to this place, and they have been swept over and over again, but wherever there are mines, they have long been discovered.

You want to come and send money, hehe, of course we warmly welcome, we don't have much else here, just a lot of land, come on!
