Chapter 455: Good News from Sigman
Argentina has a total of twenty-three provinces and a Federal Capital Territory (FCD). Sigman has real estate in these twenty-four provincial administrative regions. Of course, the largest number and area of real estate are mostly in the northern and east-central provinces, and in the western provinces near the Andes. Sigman also has a lot of real estate, but it definitely doesn't have as much as the central and eastern provinces.
Before leaving, Tang Feng called Sophia and invited her to come over and travel to Argentina together. Sophia readily agreed, and rushed over the next day.
This kind of search for mineral resources, if it is for other survey teams, it is definitely a very hard thing, but for Tang Feng, this is purely a self-driving tour. Always start the survey function of the star core along the way, and you can complete the survey process while playing.
Moreover, Argentina's uranium resources are still very good, in the western provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, and Neuquén, there are uranium mines, and in the Andes Mountains, there are also many uranium mines.
In the southern part of Argentina, in the provinces of Strío Negro, Chubut and Santa Cruz, which belong to the Patagonian plateau, Tang is part of the Hugo Valley. Sigman's large private land is divided into four circles, two of which are coal mines with medium reserves, one with iron ore reserves and one oil field with reserves of about 100 million barrels.
In the province of Mendoza in western Argentina, also on Sigman's land, Tang found a medium-sized lead-zinc mine; In the province of La Pampa in central Argentina, Tang found a medium-sized beryllium-lithium-niobium-tantalum compound mine; In the province of Corrientes in northeastern Argentina, Tang found an iron ore mine with reserves of more than 20 million tons!
Tang Feng and his group of five drove two off-road vehicles, starting from Oran, along the Andes Mountains all the way south, to the South American continent and even the southernmost city in the world. Ushuaia, known as the "end of the world", after thoroughly appreciating the polar climate in winter, drove back, crossing the Patagonian Plateau, the Serapampa massif, the Chaco-Pampatai Pass, and the Paranatai diagonally, almost all over Argentina, and it took a month and a half to return to Oran.
This lap goes down. Tang Feng drew a total of seven circles, which represents the seven mineral deposits that Tang Feng Shang can see in his eyes.
For such reserves of mineral deposits, Tang Feng is not interested at all, if it were not for the fact that Hugo. Sigman was more motivated to deal with some troubles in Afghanistan, and Tang Feng was too lazy to run around like this.
However, Tang Feng is not without gains, at least after this lap, the energy reserve of the star core has risen instead of falling, and now it has reached 89% of the energy reserve, which is also a big gain.
Tang Feng played a particularly moisturizing circle in this circle. In May and June, Argentina is in winter, but Argentina spans nearly 3,700 kilometers from north to south, and while the southernmost part of Ushuaia is still a land of ice and snow, the northernmost plain is still scorching sun.
This is a very romantic journey, because with Sophia as a companion, the two of them seem to have returned to the time when they were traveling in Australia, and the two people who have not seen each other for a while have naturally made great progress in their relationship during this trip.
Tang Feng fell into the underground dark river. At Sam's insistence, he didn't tell Sophia, but during this trip. Tang Feng told Sophia about the experience of adventuring in the underground dark river, of course, this kind of narration is modest, it was all provoked by Tang Feng, although it still caused Sophia to complain for a while, but finally the matter was over.
After returning to Oran. Sigman also rushed over when he heard the news, and of course, in the past month and a half, Sigman also brought some good news.
As the largest landowner in Argentina, Sigman's influence is absolutely enormous. And the newly appointed President Macri is very interested in Hugo. Sigman is still quite respectful. So when Sigman threw a dinner to invite President Macri, President Macri gladly accepted.
Outsiders don't know what the two talked about in a private chat, but Sigman definitely told Tang Feng that as long as Tang Mining can fulfill those promises, then President Macri promised to make a special decision. A new regulation is being issued to protect the capital security of foreign-funded mining enterprises in Afghanistan. Of course, this regulation also clearly stipulates that in order to obtain the protection of this regulation, foreign-funded mining enterprises must invest in Afghanistan to reach a certain amount and provide a certain number of jobs for Afghanistan.
In this regard, Tang Feng naturally welcomed it with both hands. Compared to a super oil and gas field, the base investment of five or six billion dollars is nothing. Besides, these investments are not in vain, refineries and petrochemical companies are very profitable at any time, investing in the establishment of refineries and petrochemical enterprises in Argentina, there are also preferential policies, and you can get oil and gas in close proximity to the place, why not invest in Argentina?
And to invest in this, presumably Exxon. Mobil is absolutely willing to step in. After all, in Argentina, after YPF, the second largest oil and gas company is not Exxon. Mobil, but Total. For Argentina, an emerging mining powerhouse, Exxon. Mobil has been coveted for a long time, and now that it has the opportunity to reach into the Argentine market, Exxon. Mobil would never turn down such an opportunity.
In addition to the good news about the oil and gas fields brought by Sigman, the news about the St. Lawrence copper mine is also good. Because in order to obtain a mineral mining license, some information about the St. Lawrence Copper Mine will inevitably be revealed, of course, this part of the disclosure is only a part of the entire St. Lawrence Copper Mine, whether it is reserves or copper ore grade, this part of the disclosure is revealed according to the minimum survey results.
But even so, the appearance of this super copper mine immediately attracted the attention of the relevant departments of the Argentine government. But after Sigman had dinner with President Macri, the matter at the St. Lawrence copper mine was immediately resolved.
Sigman told Tang that when he promised President Macri to sell a 10 percent stake in the St. Lawrence copper mine to Argentina's largest state-owned nonferrous metals company for 10 percent below the market price, the move was immediately strongly supported by President Macri. This move not only put the St. Lawrence Copper Mine in a safe place, but also directly obtained up to $9 billion in cash income for Tang through this sale.
Of course, this price is relatively low, but being able to get cash and the support of the Argentine government is in line with Tang's requirements.
Why does Tang Feng want to look for minerals all over the world? Isn't it just to cash out to implement that huge plan? (To be continued......)
