These four ores are cassiterite, tourmaline, and potassium mica. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The kind of black high-density ore that Ye Qing cared about turned out to be tungsten-manganese, with a grade of 56.

This has reached the bonanza standard, and wolframescent ore is mainly composed of a combination of wolfram and manganese, of which manganese occupies the majority.

Needless to say, tungsten is the hardest metal in nature. When smelting cemented carbide in the factory, a large amount of tungsten metal is required, but fortunately, tungsten metal can be purchased from the domestic market, and there is no shortage at present.

Manganese is a transition metal, and when factories smelt steel, they need manganese for desulfurization and deoxygenation. The smelting of alloys also requires the participation of manganese to improve the strength and elasticity of the alloy.

These were not the reasons why Ye Qing frowned.

The above four minerals, although not common in nature, are not too rare, and can be purchased from the domestic market. If the output is large enough and the price is cheap enough, Ye Qing doesn't mind importing from Nicanya and selling General Mopu a favor.

Question, these minerals all seem to be associated minerals......

"How... What's wrong, Mr. Ye. Buzz's breathing was a little heavy, as if waiting for the moment when the draw would be drawn.

Ye Qing didn't speak, but handed the report to him. Buzz has been shopping in China for many years to purchase a large number of materials, and he can speak and recognize it in Chinese. Ye Qing patiently waited for him to finish reading the report and asked, "Do you see anything?"

The latter's eyes were full of confusion, and among these ores, only tungsten manganese ore he had heard a little.

These two metals seem to be worth more than copper, but on the edge of the Suotu rainforest, this black stone is rare, and the other three can be picked up regularly.

"These minerals are all associated minerals. ”

"Cassiterite, and wolframite are metallic minerals. Tourmaline and potassium micaite, which belong to non-metallic minerals. ”

Ye Qing recalled: "These four minerals all have one characteristic. It is easily associated with granite bodies, pegmatite bodies, and hydrothermal deposits. Usually the associated minerals in this deposit are mostly gemstone-like crystals. ”

"Are these ores you brought over like crystals and gems of various colors?"

Buzz nodded, and because of that, he had high hopes for the deposit. Because ordinary iron ore and copper ore are all gray stones, they have a strong metallic feeling when they are in good condition.

But these ores are different, and when they are broken, the fractures will be as smooth as a sharp blade, and they will shine like glass.

"That's... Mr. Ye, are they valuable?" Baz looked at Ye Qing, who frowned slightly.

"If the reserves are considerable, they are not low in value. Ye Qing seemed to be thinking about something, and his tone was a little erratic, "What you found should only be one of the many associated minerals on that deposit." ”

"Associated ore layers like this, which grow inside the rock like silk, are usually mixed with a variety of rare elements and minerals in a single layer. What you can pick up on the surface is the result of a long time ago when the mountain moved on the gravel. ”

"But that's not important. ”

Ye Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at Baz with serious eyes, "Are these minerals widely distributed in the local area?"

"It should be expansive. Baz tried his best to put together the right words in his mind to describe it, "In the southwest of the Nsuka region, there is a staggering area of rainforest. The rainforest is known locally as Sotu, which means abundance. ”

"This rainforest doesn't grow directly on the surrounding barren red earth, it's surrounded by a ring of mountains. During the dry season, when the rainy season is delayed, locals run out of food and head over the mountains to the Suotu rainforest in search of food. The cassava growing there can weigh more than a dozen catties, and the wild fruits are much larger than the outside. ”

"These ores are all picked up on the edge of the mountains, and they can be picked up all over the Suotu rainforest. If they were more transparent, the locals would have collected them like gems. ”

"That means they have a lot of reserves. Ye Qing's eyes became more serious.

"I'm telling you, these minerals are only a tiny fraction of the associated minerals. In the mountains, there should also be a wider belt of associated ores. And in these ore belts, there is a high probability that it will be accompanied by a mineral that is very important to our behemoth industry. ”

"It's called monazite. ”

"It usually comes in three colors, one is red, one is yellow, and one is green. But they all have one thing in common: they appear to be small crystals, like gems clustered together. ”

"The different colors of monazite represent the different components of rare metals contained in it, of which green is the most important. ”

"You go back and immediately let General Morpe organize reliable men. Ye Qing stood up and said slowly: "Let them go around the Suotu Rainforest and pick up stones." Especially the cliffs and rock cracks. If you can find the monazite I am talking about, you must inform me as soon as possible. ”

"Monazite?" Buzz had heard of this ore for the first time, and the young president's solemn expression made him understand that the matter was serious.

"I'll have people prepare a set of reagents, and if you find a similar gem mine, you will smash it and grind it into powder, and pour it into the reagent, and if the reagent changes color, it means that it is monazite. ”

"This kind of ...... Monazite stone, very... Is it worth it?" Buzz really wanted to shave his ears, and he couldn't remember the first time he asked Mr. Ye if the stone was worth anything.

But what can be done about it?

Poor Africa, poor Nigaya, and poor General Mopp. For the sake of money, they are even willing to sell everything they can sell. If this kind of behavior is considered a betrayal of the country, then Baz believes that the sale is far from enough. Because traitors can usually sell a good new life.

They're still too far away, they have to work harder!

"It's not about money. ”

Ye Qing smiled and said word by word: "This is a strategic metal, and it is an extremely important rare earth metal mineral in the electronics industry. It extracts a variety of rare metal elements, which you can see as equivalent to gold. ”

If Baz was struck by lightning, he didn't understand strategy and rare earths, but he understood the equivalent of gold, how big are the mountains around the entire Sotu rainforest?

If there are three colors of gem minerals in the mountains that Mr. Ye said, isn't it soaring into the sky and jumping into the dragon gate?

No~ Even if there is one in a mountain, it is developed.

"Don't get excited. Ye Qing patted him on the shoulder: "Rare things are expensive, and the reason why gold is expensive is because its reserves are scarce. Monazite is the same, it may or may not be present in that mountain range. ”

"But whether it is or not, this matter must be kept secret. Because it's not just something we want, it's any industrial company or government in a developed country that wants it. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will immediately call General Mopu and ask him to immediately organize his henchmen to go to the Suotu Rainforest to pick up stones. ”

"As soon as monazite is found, I will inform you as soon as possible. ”

"When is the plane going back?"

"Tomorrow, Mr. Ye, as you know, the flight from Huaxia to Nigaya is not every day. ”

"Once I got the reagents, I left. Ye Qing said undoubtedly: "I will arrange a special plane for you, and at the same time send Mr. Jin Liuhai to go with you." ”

"Ahh

Buzz was taken aback and arranged a special plane for him?

This kind of treatment is not available to the President of Nigaa!

and Mr. Jin Liuhai went to the ......

Buzz thought back to the ambush that General Mapp had encountered when he sent his right-hand man to take Mr. Jin Liuhai to the airport.

Mr. Jin Liuhai, he singled out all the enemies, and all the enemies were shot in the eyebrows.
