Naturally, this news was not concealed for long, and after receiving the news, the Nigerien government immediately sent a large number of geologists and mineralogists to explore, first of all, to determine the gold reserves and scale of this place, small gold mines are of little mining value, and only large gold mines can attract them.

However, for the Nigerien government, the current financial situation is very tight, if this time can get a gold mine to improve its financial situation, it is naturally the best!

Therefore, they attached great importance to this matter, prepared a considerable amount of strength, mobilized all the resources in their hands, and waited for the experts in front to send back the exact news.

After the experts on the government side arrived at the gold mine, they first saw this small mountain range that did not look like a high mountain or a hill, and their hearts were ecstatic, such topographic characteristics are very consistent with the topography of the gold mine, the altitude of the hills fluctuates at about 200 meters, and the height of this small mountain is about 500 meters.

They saw a lot of gold distribution points outside, although the content of these gold is too low to have mining value, but this shows that there is indeed gold here, and the distribution range of gold beds is so large, indicating that the gold mine here should not be small, at least a medium-sized gold mine or even a large gold mine!

And they made a count of the golden sands dug out by the workers, and found that the gold content in these golden sands is really not low, although these are carefully selected by the workers, and they don't want the bad ones, but even so, they can roughly estimate the size of this as soon as possible, the gold mine is about to be distributed more than 2,000 meters long, the width is more than 400 meters, and it is expected that there will be about 30 tons of gold reserves!

This is already a large gold mine, according to the price of gold in 2012, 30 tons of gold is almost 1.5 billion dollars!

For Niger, whose GDP is less than $8 billion, this figure is almost their total fiscal income for three years!

Such a large sum of money, if you want to say that you are not tempted, it is definitely impossible!

Therefore, after receiving the exact information from the experts at the front, the Niger side immediately sent a company of troops to rush over to protect the gold mine first, and then those who stole the ore should be driven away, and then confiscated the tools of the crime, so that they can be used for their own use in the future.

However, Lin Quan's side was originally a person within the government, and as soon as the Nigerien government made a move, they obediently stopped mining, and then began to plant trees in a serious manner, which made the military unable to directly do it to them, after all, in Niger, the military is not the largest, and Lin Quan is covered by the Ministry of Agriculture! The military does not dare to offend the Ministry of Agriculture, and they have already arrived anyway, so they can protect the gold mine.

Moreover, taking advantage of the fact that the mining personnel and equipment from the state side had not yet arrived, the military generals who protected the gold mines also contacted Lin Quan and them privately, saying that they wanted to borrow their tools to dig up a sum of money again, and then give them 10% of the profits.

This made Lin Quan feel very funny, is this considered a prison guard stealing?

But since the military wants to borrow, then it's better to lend to them, it's not a big deal! Not to mention that there are still benefits, so why not do it?

As a result, before the arrival of professional mining personnel in Niger, the army of only more than 300 people also worked in full swing for more than ten days, although they are the army, they usually practice not mining these things, but the soldiers burst out under the temptation of gold.

Lin Quan is very satisfied, although they have not been mining for a long time, but the location they excavate is exactly the location of the red-brown scorpion, after the explosion from under the red-brown scorpion nest, the gold in this area is the most intensive, basically as long as it is a larger stone, there will be a little golden sand on it, so although they only worked for more than ten days, but the harvest is not small, a total of more than 80 kilograms of gold were dug up, and Lin Quan got 32 kilograms, according to the market price, the value of these 32 kilograms of gold is almost 11 million yuan！

Around 2012, the price of gold happened to be at a high level, and it was said that it was fried by a Chinese aunt, and Lin Quan didn't know whether it was true or not!

However, in just a few days, he got more than 10 million yuan, which made him wake up with a smile in his dreams!

All the gold has been transported back to the farm, and all of this gold forest is going to keep a part, and then sell the rest, he now needs funds to expand the scale of the farm, so what can be exchanged for money, naturally all of them can be exchanged for money.

But 32 kilograms of gold, and dozens of tons of gold ore in it, is still too far away!

A gold mine of dozens of tons of gold is definitely not something that can be mined in a year or two, especially since there is still a serious shortage of water here, so this work will be long, and it is expected that this gold mine will need to be mined for at least ten years, and if it is in China, it will take such a long time.

But in Niger, and still in the desert, this time is estimated to be fifteen years or even longer, given their backward production capacity and slack workers.

And even so, at least one or two tons of gold can be produced a year, which is also remarkable, two tons of gold is almost 80 million dollars, a lot of money!

And Lin Quan's mind is no longer planting trees now, no one will think that there is more money, only less money, and an opportunity in front of Lin Quan depends on how he fights for it.

However, in advance, Lin Quan still had to understand some related things.

From here, to Niamey, the distance is almost 75 kilometers, of which more than 30 kilometers are sandy land before you can get on the road, which is very unfriendly for heavy trucks.

There are only two ways to solve this problem, one is to compromise, reduce the load capacity of the car, or use the careful truck transfer to set up a staging point on the road, and then transfer it again and then transport it to Niamey!

The other way is more straightforward, which is to build a road here, introduce a road from Highway 11, and connect directly to the mine, so that the truck can drive away without transfer!

However, it costs money to build roads, and for roads with trucks, their strength is not comparable to ordinary roads!
