Before coming, Wang Xudong checked the situation of Australia's rare earth resources on the Internet. Ｘ

Australia's rare earth minerals are mainly concentrated in the western region. Some of Australia's exploitable rare earth resources are uranium tailings, or associated with some large copper and uranium gold deposits in South Australia.

Generally speaking, the western region where rare earth resources are mainly concentrated, the data shows that Australia's basic reserves of rare earth resources are about four or five million tons, Wang Xudong thought that the results of his own scanning should also be millions of tons, but as soon as the results came out, Wang Xudong himself couldn't believe it!

Rare earths refer to a mixture of 15 lanthanides with atomic numbers 57 to 71 in the periodic table, and a mixture of 17 elements with similar chemical properties to lanthanides, scandium and yttrium.

In nature, the main types of rare earth ores are monazite, bastronite, yttrium phosphate, lanthanum-vanadium epidote, etc.

The rare earth ore in Australia is mainly monazite, which is yellow-brown, brown, red and occasionally green. Translucent to transparent. Streaks are white or light reddish-yellow. It has a strong glass luster. Hardness 5.0~5.5. Brittle.

It is mainly produced in granite and granitic pegmatite, or rare metal carbonate, or dolomite and quartzite, or yunxia syenite, feldsniite and alkaline syenite pegmatite, etc.

After the scanning of the "god-level big miner" system, the rare earth resources with a radius of 1,000 kilometers and a depth of 4,500 meters are all within the scanning range, whether they are scattered or enriched together, whether they have reached the degree of industrial mining, or those that have not reached the degree of industrial mining, all of them are scanned.

Miner No. 1's voice also sounded in Wang Xudong's mind, "Brother Dong, after the scanning, a total of 58 million tons of rare earth oxides have been found. ”

58 million tons!

Oh my God!

Wang Xudong was really a little frightened, he couldn't believe his ears, there were so many rare earth resources, too... That's awesome!

Seeming to feel Wang Xudong's surprise, Miner No. 1, who already has a certain amount of artificial intelligence, explained: "Dongge, in fact, the content of rare earth resources in the earth's crust is not low, but they are scattered, and most of them have not reached the level of industrial mining. ”

I see.

This is easier to understand, the system will not reach the level of industrial mining of rare earth resources in the list, as long as Wang Xudong is willing, will definitely be able to gather these rare earth resources to form a highly enriched ore layer, for large-scale industrial mining.

"Dongge, whether to carry out the aggregation of rare earth resources. ”

Hearing Miner No. 1's request in his mind, Wang Xudong said in his heart that he naturally wanted to gather, gather all these scanned rare earth resources, and generate a large ore layer on his territory.

In the future, we will carry out large-scale open-pit mining of rare earth resources in our own territory, well, so many rare earths, there should be no problem in mining hundreds of thousands of tons every year. Wang Xudong thought in his heart.

Wang Xudong then chose a gathering place in his territory, about twenty or thirty kilometers away from the mining town, which is a relatively flat wasteland, Wang Xudong is ready to gather more than 58 million tons of rare earth resources there, about a few meters to more than ten meters away from the surface layer.

That is, it is only covered with a layer of mud and stone a few meters to more than ten meters thick, and when this thin layer of mud and stone is dug up, the bottom is full of rare earth ores.

After the gathering location was selected, the voice of Miner No. 1 sounded in his head: "Brother Dong, please choose the grade of the ore layer, which can reach up to one percent." ”

In the judgment of the "god-level big miner" system, rare earth metals are rare metal elements, and rare earth resources are rare resources, and the highest grade can only reach one percent. Just like gold ore and uranium ore, the highest grade is 1 percent.

One percent grade, that is, one ton of rare earth ore can refine 10 kilograms of rare earth oxides, and the grade is not low.

Domestic rare earth resources were once very rich, and the grade of rare earth ores was mostly in the 0.0 percent, and more than 1 percent was not much.

The average grade of these rare earth ores gathered by the system is one percent, which is more powerful, if tens of millions of tons of rare earth ores can be mined every year, tens of millions of tons of rare earths can be refined.

Miner No. 1's voice sounded again: "Brother Dong, after gathering, the ore layer has been formed, with a total amount of more than 5.8 billion tons of ore. ”

So much, then Wang Xudong understood that 58 million tons of rare earths, with a grade of one percent, is indeed more than 5.8 billion tons of ore.

The holographic three-dimensional map in front of him was clear, and Wang Xudong saw the place he had chosen, a large area of rare earth ore layer, highly enriched, the ore layer was basically circular, the thickness of the ore layer was more than 200 meters, and the radius of two or three kilometers was a rare earth ore layer.

It's gratifying to look at!

Knowing that this is more than 5.8 billion tons of rare earth ore layer, Wang Xudong was overjoyed in his heart, and thought in his heart, everything is ready, we have gathered rare earth resources, the total amount is amazing, enough for large-scale mining for decades, and now only the handling of mining procedures is missing.

Rare earth resources are strategic resources, and I don't know if the Australian government can agree to carry out large-scale mining of rare earth resources.

Well, no matter what, you have to try to get this done. Wang Xudong thought so firmly in his heart.

……..

Cheng Xianbiao, the chief legal counsel of Xudong Mining Company, received a task and quickly went to Australia to apply for rare earth resource mining to the Australian government on behalf of Xudong Mining Group, and handled all matters related to rare earth mining and a series of mining procedures.

Wang Xudong called Liang Hongbo, and Liang Hongbo immediately instructed Cheng Xianbiao to go. In Australia's two large iron mines, the super gold mine, all the mining procedures are handled by Cheng Xianbiao, who is familiar with these businesses, so he is naturally the best choice.

Cheng Xianbiao immediately moved and flew with his team from Donghai City to Australia.

Thousands of miles away in Australia, Wang Xudong was eating breakfast at a restaurant in the town shortly after he got up.

"Wang, what is the arrangement for today? ”

Gail accompanied Wang Xudong to breakfast, and also asked Wang Xudong about his plans and arrangements for today. Wang Xudong ate a slice of ham, and then said, "Today, there is an important thing that needs to be arranged for you." ”

"Say, king, what is the matter? ”

Wang Xudong said: "I am going to enter the field of rare earth resource mining, you go and ask an exploration team to come over and explore our territory to see if there are rare earth resources available for mining in our territory." ”

Mining rare earth resources!

Gail was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately said: "Wang, there is no problem, I can do it with a phone call, and there will be an exploration team stationed in our territory in the next two days to conduct a comprehensive exploration of rare earth resources." ”

A large number of rare earth resources Wang Xudong has been gathered, forming a gratifying huge ore layer, with a radius of two or three kilometers and a thickness of more than 200 meters, which is very shallow from the ground, only covered with a thin layer of soil.

Inviting a professional exploration team to come over for exploration is naturally a cover-up, just to find out this rare earth ore layer through this exploration team.

Gail immediately agreed, and it was a trivial matter for him to invite an exploration team over. After agreeing to this, he asked, "King, is there anything else you command?"

Wang Xudong said: "Then there is nothing else to arrange, I plan to stay here for a few days, do you have any entertainment arrangements." ”

"The king" is going to stay here for a few days! Suddenly, Gail's heart became happy, "King, if I take you to hunt, the hares in our territory will begin to flood, and the hares can be easily hunted." ”

Go hunt the hare!

Wang Xudong suddenly became interested, in his memory, when he was very young, about when he was in elementary school, he once followed his second grandfather in his hometown town to hunt hares.

One old and one young, a firecracker, followed by a dog, usually at night, because the hare is nocturnal and comes out at night to eat tender grass.

There are dogs to lead the way, often have a harvest, "bang" a gunshot, the hare fell in response, when you are lucky, you can hit one or two hares, bad luck, you don't hit the rabbit, you can also have a fun, going out hunting at night is an exciting thing.

It's been a long time since I've hunted a hare.

Wang Xudong was a little puzzled and said: "There are rabbits in our territory, has it almost overflowed?"

Gail nodded and said: "Well, there are a lot of hares, and the Australian government encourages everyone to hunt hares in order to prevent the proliferation of hares, which means that it is legal to hunt hares." ”

Many people who travel to Australia will find an interesting phenomenon, in Australian culture, the most evil animal is not the big bad wolf, not the lion, not the tiger, but the rabbit that seems lively and cute to outsiders.

There were no rabbits on the vast Australian continent, but more than two hundred years ago, with the arrival of Western explorers or colonists, they brought rabbits.

These rabbits have no natural predators after arriving on the Australian continent, and they reproduce very quickly, and now they are flooding, according to statistics, the number of hares in the Australian continent exceeds 10 billion.

Wang Xudong's territory is located in the arid and rainless interior of Western Australia, because most of the places are relatively desolate, there are not many weeds for the hares to eat, and the number of rabbits is not to the extent of flooding, but the number is not small, and rabbits can be seen everywhere.

After listening to Gail's speech, Wang Xudong was interested, and said loudly: "Okay, today we will experience the taste of hunting, well, you don't have to accompany us, there are still many affairs on the big gold mine, and you also need your arrangement after the geological exploration team arrives, you can prepare the car and the shotgun." ”

Gale was not slow, and soon after he prepared a very good off-road vehicle for Wang Xudong, two shotguns, enough ammunition, and some things needed for hunting.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Hu drove Wang Xudong and Zheng Xiaotong, a total of three people, out of the town and towards the vast wasteland......

……….

The second one is sent!

That's all for today's update, thank you!r
