Australia's largest iron ore mine. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared to before, this place has changed a lot, since Song Qingsong arrived here, this place has changed every day, and now, a large iron mine has begun to take shape.

The huge mining area presents a step-by-layer pattern, which is a typical step-like mining, and open-pit iron ore generally adopts this mining method.

Because it is an open-pit iron ore mine, the soil cover is very shallow, and the iron ore is exposed after the surface soil is shoveled, and the iron ore is peeled off by an excavator, excavated, and loaded onto a truck to transport it away.

If you encounter a huge hard iron ore, blast the iron ore to crush, and then use an excavator to mine, and the ore is excavated and stripped layer by layer, and then goes deeper into the mountain layer by layer.

Several large excavators, each two or three stories high, are working there, peeling off the iron ore layer by layer, and mining it layer by layer, so that one excavator can mine at least several thousand tons of iron ore in a day.

The mined iron ore is transported to the iron ore crushing workshop by large mine trucks in the mining area, which used to have a large crushing workshop, which can crush large pieces of iron ore into granular fine iron ore.

The iron ore is transported to the workshop, where it is crushed and screened to become granular iron ore, and the large pieces of iron ore need to be crushed a second time, and the crushed iron ore is sent to a conveyor belt and loaded onto the train.

In the distance, on the tracks, a long train was parked, where it was loading iron ore, some of which were already full, all granular iron ore.

These are the crushed and screened iron ore grains, ranging in size from a few millimeters to thirty or forty millimeters. In general, iron ore is divided into raw ore, lump ore and fine ore.

Raw ore is iron ore that has not been crushed, and such iron ore varies in size, the largest one is larger than a basketball, and the small one is not even the size of a fist. At the beginning of the Doujiashan mining area, the ore mined was not crushed, it was raw ore of different sizes, of course, because it was not crushed, such iron ore was sold at a slightly lower price.

After crushing and screening, the raw ore becomes lump ore, and the ore becomes granular, or clastic, and the size is generally from a few millimeters to thirty or forty millimeters.

If the iron ore grade is relatively low, it is generally processed into fine ore, and then after a series of beneficiation, impurities are removed, leaving iron ore powder, it becomes a relatively high grade fine ore, such as iron concentrate powder.

Domestically, the grade of iron ore is generally relatively low, and the grade of the mined raw ore is generally about 30, so the raw ore will be processed in a series of ways, crushed and screened, ground into powder, and finally become a fine ore that meets the grade requirements.

Of course, in this way, the process is more complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost is relatively high, which is also one of the main reasons for the small and scattered scale of domestic iron ore.

Here, there is no need to be so complicated, because the iron ore is of high grade, and after it is mined, it only needs to be crushed and screened, no grinding, no beneficiation, so that the mining of iron ore is relatively simple, high efficiency and low cost, which is one of the reasons why it can be developed to such a scale in just over a month.

There are not many workers in the whole mining area, because the degree of mechanization is very high, and only trucks laboriously transport iron ore from the mining area to the iron ore crushing workshop along the gravel road.

Dump trucks carrying ore, about 6 meters high, each can load more than 200 tons of iron ore at a time, due to the large carrying capacity, truck tires are also particularly tall and wide, standing in front of tires up to three meters, even an adult seems extraordinarily small, unexpectedly, the driver of the giant truck is both blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, as well as yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese.

If you climb the ladder and step into the cab, because of the high body, sitting in the cab and looking ahead, there is really a sense of condescension. Each truck is extremely powerful, consumes a considerable amount of diesel, consumes more than 100 litres of fuel per hour, and has a tank capacity of 4,000 litres.

Song Qingsong took several of his subordinates, these people are both Westerners and Easterners, Song Qingsong saw that the mining area was busy working, and truckloads of iron ore were transported to the crushing workshop through huge mine trucks, and a sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously from the bottom of Song Qingsong's heart.

A Westerner next to him said: "Boss, last week we broke through the scale of 20,000 tons per day, and I estimate that in less than two months, our output will exceed 30,000 tons." ”

At this point, everyone is confident, several people next to them nodded, the iron ore output in the mining area is large, everyone is full of enthusiasm, and the team headed by Song Qingsong is becoming more and more harmonious and more efficient.

A large amount of iron ore has been mined, Song Qingsong thought in his heart, it is worthy of Australia, the boss buys an iron mine casually, and the reserves are so large, and the grade of iron ore is so high.

Song Qingsong naturally didn't know that so much iron ore was gathered by Wang Xudong with the "god-level big mine" system, with high grade, excellent iron ore quality, and most importantly, it was very convenient to mine, and it was rare to encounter a hard iron ore layer, and it was generally rarely necessary to use blasting.

The mobile phone rang, Song Qingsong picked it up and looked at it, and saw that it was a call from Wang Xudong, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately connected it, and said respectfully: "Boss, you are looking for me." ”

Everyone next to him knows that there is a big boss behind Song Qingsong, and everyone has never seen this mysterious boss, because they haven't seen it, everyone thinks that this big boss is very mysterious and very curious about this big boss.

Seeing that it was the big boss calling, everyone quieted down all of a sudden, and they all pricked up their ears to hear the voice of the mysterious big boss.

It's a pity that this is a mining area, not a quiet valley, and except for Song Qingsong, no one can hear the voice on the phone.

Wang Xudong called, mainly for two things, the first is to tell Song Qingsong that he has signed a 10 million iron ore contract with Donghai Iron and Steel Group, and requires Song Qingsong to work at full speed and produce at full capacity, and at the same time, the funds of 100 million yuan will arrive within a week.

This is Wang Xudong's second investment, and such an investment is necessary, and it is not possible to milk the cows and not give them grass.

At the beginning, when Song Qingsong came to Australia, Wang Xudong made the first investment in this iron mine, and it was with this investment that this iron mine developed so fast, not only bought a lot of mining equipment, bought several giant mining trucks, hired a large number of workers, and even the iron ore crushing workshop was running smoothly, a large number of iron ore was crushed and screened, and then loaded onto the train through the conveyor belt to transport away.

A big contract of 10 million tons, an investment of 100 million!

Suddenly, Song Qingsong almost jumped up happily, only to see Song Qingsong clenching his fists excitedly and waving vigorously, "Oh yes, great!" ”

Song Qingsong said happily: "Boss, I will definitely work at full speed and make every effort to produce, and strive to deliver this 10 million tons of iron ore as soon as possible." ”

Not only to deliver this 10 million tons of iron ore, Song Qingsong secretly decided in his heart that with this 100 million yuan, he would expand the scale again and purchase a batch of mining equipment.

Even Song Qingsong thought in his heart, make another plan and build a larger crushing workshop to greatly improve the crushing and screening efficiency of iron ore.

In an open-pit mine like this, because we don't want to beneficiate and increase the mining volume every day, we need to do two things well, the first is to increase the mining volume, and the second is to improve the crushing and screening efficiency.

After listening to Wang Xudong talk about this first thing, while being excited and happy, Song Qingsong listened carefully to Wang Xudong talking about the second thing.

The second thing is very simple, Wang Xudong explained on the phone, asking Song Qingsong to pay attention to whether there is a large piece of land to buy in Western Australia, and Wang Xudong is ready to buy another piece of land.

I still want to buy a piece of land, Song Qingsong is curious, what is the boss going to do if he wants to buy another piece of land? But Song Qingsong knew that this was not for him to ask, he just had to pay attention to whether there was land for sale.
