The news spreads so fast!

In this influential morning newspaper in Australia, it is the signing of the order between Xudong Mining Group and the Australian side, a full 100 million tons of rare earth ores, worth tens of billions of dollars.

In addition to a more detailed introduction to the signing, the newspaper also mentioned that the rare earth mine of Xudong Mining Group in Australia has a planned area of more than 10 square kilometers, reserves of 58 million tons of rare earths, and more than 300 million tons of rare earth ores mined every year.

After reading it, Wang Xudong said: "Paper can't hold the fire, this matter can't be hidden, and soon, the whole world will know about our rare earth mine." ”

Zheng Xiaotong said with a smile: "Brother Dong, you will know if you know, and it's not a shameful thing, just let them publicize it, and we will even get rid of advertising fees." ”

That's true.

Wang Xudong quickly figured it out and became happy, "Yes, anyway, so much rare earth ore will be mined in the future, and we need to sell some of it to the outside world, so it doesn't matter if the world knows." ”

What Wang Xudong may not know is, and what he never expected, is that this rare earth mine will immediately be known to the whole world, and it will soon become popular.

Rare earths are different from general mineral resources, but strategic resources, the global reserves are limited, the more mined the reserves, the less important the importance will be.

Especially with the development of science and technology and industry, many fields and industries need rare earths, so that rare earths will become the first object of competition in the international market.

Zheng Xiaotong said: "Brother Dong, this newspaper is just the beginning of the report on our rare earth mine, and some newspapers in Australia or the media of some other countries will report it one after another. ”

Wang Xudong waved his hand and said: "Just report it, don't care about them." ”

After eating breakfast, Zheng Xiaotong said a little reluctantly: "Brother Dong, I really will go back this evening, I am still a little reluctant." ”

Wang Xudong has been in Australia for several days, and he has seen his big iron ore and gold mines, and he has also seen the first car of rare earth ore mined with his own eyes.

It also completed a very important thing, signed a formal contract with the Australian side, and the Australian side ordered 100 million tons of rare earth ores.

Wang Xudong said: "The transportation is convenient now, if you want to come, after a while, we can come again." ”

This is not false at all, you have your own private jet, board the plane, sleep hard, the plane can fly thousands of miles, from Tokai City to Australia, or from Australia back to Tokai City.

Zheng Xiaotong tilted his head and thought about it, showing a cute smile, "Okay, in a few days, we will come over to play when we are free, we were on vacation at that time, but I want to go and see our big gold mine now." ”

Wang Xudong gently scratched Zheng Xiaotong's nose and said with a smile: "You little money fan, you want to see those golden big gold ingots." ”

Zheng Xiaotong admitted: "I'm a little money fan, I like to see that gold. ”

In the underground gold mines of large gold mines, large quantities of gold are often temporarily stored, ranging from tens of tons to tens of tons.

There are standard gold bars weighing 1,000 grams, as well as large gold ingots weighing up to 10 kilograms, which are neatly stacked in the vault and look like a super visual treat.

Wang Xudong got up and said, "Then let's go to the big gold mine to have a look." ”

Driven by Lin Hu, the three of them came to the big gold mine together, in front of which is a huge open-pit mining area, where many special combined mining vehicles for gold are mining, and there are also many large mining trucks of 300 tons transporting slag back and forth.

After the gold ore is mined, it is separated from the gold by the combine, the gold is left behind, and the slag is sent out into the huge body of the 300-ton mining cart next to it. A few kilometers away, a large amount of slag has piled up into a small mountain.

"Brother Dong, let's go to the underground vault first and take a look at the gold bars and ingots. ”

Wang Xudong nodded, and at this time, Gail also came over and led Wang Xudong, Zheng Xiaotong and Lin Hu into the underground vault.

There are more than 20 tons of gold stored there, ranging from 1 kilogram of standard gold bars to 10 kilograms of large gold ingots.

Now the big gold mine has been completely on the right track, and has completely reached stable production, mining more than dozens of tons of gold every month, and at least hundreds of tons of gold can be mined in a year.

Hundreds of tons!

Wang Xudong himself was slightly excited, worthy of being the world's largest gold mine, and this output was beyond the reach of other gold mines.

The total gold reserves of 3,000 tons may seem like a lot, but at this mining rate, it is estimated that it will not take 10 years to complete the mining.

Last year, the construction of the gold mine began and more than 100 tons of gold were mined, most of which was deposited in Huaxia Bank, and a small part was sold to the outside world, such as to Nanyang Gold and Jewellery Company.

Hundreds of tons of gold will be mined this year, which must be proper, and Wang Xudong's gold will reach nearly 600 tons, and it will increase at a rate of hundreds of tons every year in the future.

I can't stand it, so much gold.

Wang Xudong was thinking in his heart, would it be a big deal, and it would not be good to have too much gold, so it would be better not to gather gold for the time being, and to mine like this first.

After happily looking at the gold in the underground vault, Wang Xudong and Zheng Xiaotong went to see the gold mining again, and did not return to the town until noon.

In the evening, in the setting sun, an A380 aircraft on the No. 2 Territory Airport began to take off and flew in the direction of China.

…………

"Dongge, 100 million tons of rare earth ore order!"

Wang Xudong returned to Xudong Mining Group, called Liang Hongbo and Xu Jie to the office, and talked about the signing of rare earth ores with Australia this time.

After listening, the two looked at each other, obviously a little frightened, after being in the mining industry for so long, the two of them knew exactly what kind of weight 100 million tons of rare earth ore was.

Even though they knew about this matter yesterday, they were still shocked in their hearts when they heard Brother Dong say it in more detail again.

Wang Xudong said: "Yes, it is an order of 100 million tons of rare earth ores. ”

After speaking, Wang Xudong took out the contract signed by himself and the Australian side, handed it to the two and said: "Put it away, and in addition, do a good job of contacting the Australian side." ”

Liang Hongbo hurriedly took it over, looked at it a little excitedly, and said, "Brother Dong, don't worry, we will take care of the rest of the matter." ”

The orders have been signed, and the rest of the matter will definitely not need Wang Xudong to do it himself, Xudong Mining Group is full of talents, and Liang Hongbo will arrange it. It is estimated that in a few months, the rare earth mine will be able to supply rare earth ores to Australia.

Of course, before the official construction of the railway transportation line for rare earth ores, it can only rely on the current iron ore transportation line, and the transportation capacity is limited, which will force the Australian side to speed up the construction of the new line.

The contract clearly states that Xudong Mining Group will not deliver the goods, and the rare earth ores needed by the Australian side must be transported from the rare earth mining area by themselves.

Xu Jie said: "Brother Dong, I noticed that some media are reporting on our rare earth mine, and also mentioned that we and Australia have a super large order for 100 million tons of rare earth ores, and I estimate that it will not be long before many customers who need rare earths will flock to it." ”

Wang Xudong smiled and said: "It's useless to flock here, our rare earth sales this year are only tens of millions of tons at most, and they are mineral sands." ”

Rare earth mine in the construction, is far from reaching stable production, can only be said in the initial stage of development, Sanlian Special Steel Group needs rare earths, domestic need for rare earths, Australia bought 100 million tons of rare earth ores, can sell tens of millions of tons of rare earth ores is already good.

Only rare earth ores are sold, and there are no semi-finished rare earths for sale for the time being, and there are no finished rare earths for sale.

"Brother Dong, it's only tens of millions of tons, that's a typical wolf with more meat and less meat, it depends on who is quick with his hands and feet, and he is fast enough. ”

It's really like this, if it's a little later, it is estimated that you won't be able to drink the soup, after all, the whole world needs rare earths, and there are so many rare earth ores that Xudong Mining Group can sell to the outside world.

Tens of millions of tons of rare earth ores, if converted into finished rare earths, that is, hundreds of thousands of tons, don't think about it, it will soon be divided.

This suspicion was quickly verified.

……..

Pierce is the vice president of a well-known rare earth deep processing company in Western Europe, responsible for the global procurement of rare earth ores, but his main focus is generally on China.

These days, he feels more and more difficult, because China's domestic rare earth resources are becoming less and less as they are mined, from 71.1% of the world's largest rare earth reserves to less than 23% at present.

In view of the dwindling reserves, Huaxia began to adopt a policy of restricting mining and restricting the export of rare earths.

The so-called tailings are basically something that no one wants to want, but such rare earth tailings have also become a sought-after commodity, and Pierce has finally grabbed some, not much, more than 1 million tons of tailings.

Such tailings with a grade of only a few tenths of a percent seem to have 1 million tons, but in fact, the finished rare earth that can be refined is estimated to be only two or three thousand tons, and the refining cost is relatively high.

But what can be done?

Pierce was worried, as a vice president, he knew that his company's life this year is estimated to be more difficult, no, the future will be more and more difficult, because there is no rice to cook.

Pierce, who frowned slightly, arrived in Tokai City, preparing to take a flight back from Tokai International Airport tomorrow, and then prepare to try his luck in Citigroup.

But I didn't dare to hold out too much hope in my heart, and even thought indignantly in my heart, this damn Citigroup country, with such a large reserve of rare earths, actually mined so little, and ran to China to compete with itself for resources.

Originally, there were millions of tons of rare earth tailings, but a Citigroup company snatched some of them, plus some other companies, and Peirce only got more than 1 million tons after such a partition.

Pierce, who was in a bad mood and frowned slightly, returned to the Century Royal Hotel, often coming to Donghai City, he still felt that Century Royal was comfortable, and this time it was the same, and he stayed in this hotel with his assistant.

The International Finance Building, where the Century Royal Hotel is located, is also home to the headquarters of Xudong Mining Group.

After moving in, Pierce thought to himself, the 88th floor here is the headquarters of Xudong Mining Group, it seems that they heard that they are developing and building a rare earth mine in Australia, but I don't know what the scale is, whether the mining of rare earth mines has begun.

Just thinking about this, his assistant rushed in with excitement and shouting, "BOSS, hurry, read this newspaper!"

In his hand, he was holding a copy of the "Donghai Daily......

The first one is sent!
