Chapter 665: New Discoveries
"South Africa's Rand Gold Mine is by far the largest gold mine in the world. The mine was discovered in 1866 and was put into mining shortly thereafter. For more than 130 years, 35,000 tonnes of gold have been mined, and 18,000 tonnes of proven reserves remain, still accounting for 52% of the world's total gold reserves. ”
Fang Yuanshan next to him said stupidly: "No...... Isn't it possible that the gold reserves in this cave can catch up with the Rand in South Africa?"
"The gold content in this cave is rare in the world, even if the gold layer is only one meter thick, with the direction and length of this vein at least two kilometers or more, I say that it can catch up with the Rand gold mine is only a preliminary judgment, but it may actually have surpassed the Rand gold mine in South Africa. ”
Fang Yuanshan was uncertain again: "What you said is true?"
Norman diǎndiǎn head, but then said in a stern tone: "Boss, I'm afraid this gold mine is very troublesome." No, it should be said that it will cause you a lot of trouble. ”
He wondered, "What's wrong?"
"The Rand Gold Mine is controlled by the South African government, and several large conglomerates also have a certain stake in it, so it has been safe and sound for so many years. But South Ferris Ridge is now fully controlled by the boss, and the risk is very high, once the news leaks, all the rich people in the world and the Brazilian government will pounce like hungry wolves, tear the boss to pieces, and then swallow it. ”
"Hiss~"
After listening to Norman's words, Fang Yuanshan remembered this most important question. He has now slowly begun to come to the forefront, as long as he is a person in the mining industry, he knows more or less that there is such a person as Fang Yuanshan. His background is simple, he has no country as a backstage, and he is also a Chinese.
As Norman said, if this matter is leaked, then he will really be in big trouble. All the conglomerates in the world will gather around like sharks that smell blood, waiting for an opportunity to swallow him in their stomachs. As for the Brazilian government and Vale, he knew with his ass what they were going to do with him.
Norman has not continued to collect samples, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, in case these samples are leaked, I am afraid that without waiting for his own boss to develop, this South Ferris Ridge no longer belongs to him.
Seeing Fang Yuanshan standing beside him in a daze, Norman poured all the gold ore samples collected ∵dǐng∵diǎn∵ Xiao ∵ said, .±.o≈s_(); On the ground, he completely deleted the number of jù in the instrument, leaving only some samples of associated iron ore concentrate.
The two men continued to walk forward, and along the way Norman was amazed and horrified by what he had seen. He would be very happy if there were 20 grams per tonne of gold, 100 grams would be pleasantly surprised, and as for the current gold content per tonne, a geologist with a bad heart might faint when he saw it. And Norman, after the shock, also felt a haze rise in his heart, worried about the future fate of South Ferris Ridge.
The two men walked in the dark cave, bending down every now and then to get to guò. Fang Yuanshan in front of him had been thinking about how to hold this gold mine firmly in the palm of his hand.
His wings are not hard yet, and if he hits hard, he may suffer a lot, and it is not excluded that some people will use black methods against him. What will he do then? But it's not a thing to keep hiding like this, and if you invest so much money, you won't develop it because you're afraid of taking advantage of the fire?
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped, and the Nord behind him hit him in the back. Fang Yuanshan turned to look at him and said, "Is there a way to lower this number per ton...... How about keeping the gold content at around 50 grams per tonne, is there a problem?"
Slightly avoiding the light of the dǐng mining lamp on Fang Yuanshan, Norman turned his head and replied: "This is simple, as long as the diǎn iron ore is mixed with diǎn iron ore and re-tested inside." ”
After thinking about it again in his heart, he firmly said: "Just do it, you start counting now, and the samples will be collected again." ”
He, the boss, had already made a decision, and Norman naturally had nothing to say, and only when he walked through this ultra-high gold section and the appearance of refined iron ore on the rock wall did Norman start collecting samples.
The number jù is easy to do, and it is enough to mix more diǎn iron ore powder and test it inside, but the sample is troublesome. In the end, I could only find some ore mixed with gold and iron and stuff it into the bag, go back and re-grind and seal it.
Samples are a must, and when all the preparations are done outside, the news that there is a gold mine under the South Ferris Ridge will definitely be announced, and when the important people from Brazil come to visit, you must not find some samples for others to see?
The two of them worked together, Fang Yuanshan used a drilling machine to dig on the rock wall, Norman next to him had been collecting samples, and the big bag that Fang Yuanshan brought was already full. It took almost two hours to get the samples.
Stretched out his wrist and looked at it, it was almost 12 diǎn now, and the two of them came down from seven diǎn in the morning, and it had been five hours since they walked and stopped, afraid that the people outside would be in a hurry, Fang Yuanshan and the two walked towards the direction they came.
Fang Yuanshan, who had already thought about what to do next, relaxed his mood, and drove the four-dimensional image all the way to observe inside the rock wall, and only when he reached the vicinity of the gold mine did he observe the thickness of the rock layer. The thickness of these gold deposits was much thicker than Norman had estimated, and he took a look at it, and the thickness was at least two or three meters away. However, the further you go into the rock wall, the thinner the veins characteristic of gold mines.
Putting aside the unknown opponents who want to come over to "grab food" in the future, he is still quite happy about the reserves of this gold mine. With this gold vein alone, he can also rank among the world's richest people. Of course, that was after it was developed.
When he reached the middle of the gold mine, Fang Yuanshan discovered a situation again. Unlike the previous faults of schist, granite and volcanic rocks in the gold ore wall, behind the gold layer in the middle is a large area of iron ore that spreads out into the distance in a fan-shaped shape.
"Holy, there's a surprise!~"
Looking at the situation in the rock wall, Fang Yuanshan, who was walking in front, stopped again, turned to Norman behind him and said, "I have a question for you!~." ”
Norman Diǎn, who followed closely behind, said: "Boss, you say!~"
Fang Yuanshan simply took a pen and paper, traced the shape of the refined iron ore he saw in his eyes, handed it to Norman and said, "You said that such a rock formation is trending, how far will it radiate out?"
Norman took the figure in his hand and glanced at it, then pointed to the diǎn in front and said, "This should be a fault, and the fan-shaped vein in front is the starting diǎn." According to this judgment, its radiation range is likely to reach more than a dozen kilometers or even tens of kilometers. ”
Fang Yuanshan blinked, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Can it be so far?"
Norman smiled and said, "If this is the direction of the vein, then it must be one of the few metallogenic areas in the world." Norman's subtext is "This has nothing to do with you."
Fang Yuanshan didn't answer his words, but he also remembered one thing, the location of this vein was clearly heading towards the neighbor "South Ridge" of South Ferris Ridge, and it really didn't have much to do with him.
Standing in place and thinking for a while, he casually took the figure from Norman's hand and stuffed it into his pocket, and said, "Then let's go back......
