As mentioned earlier, Carlin-type gold deposits are characterized by large scale and inconspicuous boundaries between ore bodies and surrounding rocks, which are in other words full of variability.

In other words, you have found a Carlin-type gold mine, on the surface it may seem that this gold mine has a lot of reserves, but there is also a high probability that this gold mine is the kind of gold mine with a shiny surface of donkey dung and eggs, and if you are unlucky enough to catch such a gold mine, then congratulations, you will probably spend the rest of your life in bankruptcy

Of course, the gold mine you discovered may not have the reserves of this gold mine according to the preliminary survey and even mining operations, and the amount of gold mined may not allow you to recoup your initial investment, and even leave you with heavy debts, just like the four gold mines under the name of Barrick Gold. But that doesn't mean that such a gold mine has no value.

Perhaps there is a higher-grade, more abundant gold vein hidden under or around the vein you find. Who can say for sure? After all, this gold is buried in the depths of rock formations ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, and survey wells are not able to be drilled casually, so it is not uncommon for some high-grade, large-reserve gold veins to be missed.

No one dares to guarantee this kind of thing, not even the world's No. 1 Barrick Gold, so if Tang Feng can let two or three of the four gold mines sold by Barrick Gold stage a good show of "turning dirt into diamonds", I am afraid that it will not only greatly hit Barrick Gold, but even cause changes in the top management of Barrick Gold. No matter what it is, it's something Tang Feng is happy to see.

Tang Feng planned to buy these four gold mines and "transform" two or three of them, then wash his hands, move a small Maza, and carry two bottles of Red Er. Grab a few more snacks and sit back and watch Barrick Gold stage all sorts of farce.

For watching the excitement or something, it has always been Tang Feng's favorite!

Tang Feng really wanted to know what kind of tragedy would happen to Barrick Gold if the senior management of Barrick Gold learned that two or even three of the four gold mines they sold for seven or eight billion dollars were actually huge or even super giant gold mines of great value.

This thing is not comparable to the kind of "bloody case caused by a steamed bun". This kind of loss, which can easily involve tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars, will definitely make the senior management of Barrick Gold, who is responsible for the sale, anxious.

In fact, if this kind of thing really happens, the burnt can only be regarded as the slightest loss, and a little more serious, it will be all kinds of blame resignation, and even all kinds of jumping off buildings, all kinds of car accidents, all kinds of electric doors and other real bloody cases

The four gold mines that Barrick Gold is preparing for sale are all located southwest of the town of Carlin, and two of them are located in a valley fifty kilometers south of the town of Beowowy; The other two mines are located across the mountain Lewis and the two mines south of Beowovy, in a valley about fifty kilometres south of the small town of Battle Mounting.

These four gold mines are actually cut off by Mount Lewis. If it weren't for the tall Mount Lewis, then these four gold mines could be connected.

Of course, Tang Feng would not be stupid enough to personally negotiate this deal with Barrick Gold, with the situation that Tang Feng is now in an almost endless relationship with the Europeans, if Tang Feng personally goes to negotiate these four gold mines, it is estimated that he will be directly blasted out by Barrick Gold before he speaks. Therefore, Tang Feng needed an intermediary to run the matter for him.

But don't look at these four gold mines are not very valuable, but in the United States. Not many mining companies are willing to swallow these four gold mines. Barrick Gold is, after all, the world's largest gold producer, and none of them have a gold mine in mind. How can the mining companies that can afford to swallow these four gold mines take over?

Yes, you Barrick Gold sold these four gold mines to solve the debt crisis, so why don't you put the Colster Gold Mine or the Gold Strike Gold Mine up for sale?

The mining companies that have the ability to swallow these four gold mines are not fools, and those mining companies will not be easily fooled by this kind of gold mine that can be seen by a discerning person at a glance.

Newmont Mining is not to think about it, Newmont Mining and Barrick Gold are inseparable from precious metals. Some time ago, Newmont Mining was almost directly killed by the eight major gold producers led by Barrick Gold, so this middleman asked Newmont Mining to be absolutely not mentioned.

Then there is only one mining company left with connections, and that is Freeport McMullen Copper & Gold.

Some time ago, although the Europeans' plan listed Freeport McMullen Copper and Gold Company as the target of the second round of strikes, because of Tang's sideways intervention, the Europeans' plan fell through. As a result, Freeport McMullen Copper & Gold Company did not suffer much in this European and American war, and ranked 202nd in the world in last year's Fortune 500 rankings.

However, Tang Feng knows very well that the largest mining company in the United States and the largest private copper company in the world are standing behind the owner of a well-known consortium, that is, the California consortium.

The California consortium is a consortium that rose after World War II, although it is not as old as the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium in history, but with the rapid development of the US economy after World War II, the California consortium, which occupies several states on the west coast of California and the surrounding states, also has formidable financial resources.

This is a large consortium with the Bank of America group as the financial center, so finance is the core business of this consortium. The reason why Freeport McMullen Copper & Gold Company has become the target of the California consortium is also very related to the business of Freeport McMeron Copper & Gold Company.

You must know that although the Freeport Company is a mining company mainly engaged in copper mining, the mining of precious metals such as gold also occupies a very important weight in this company, and the reserves of gold alone, the Freeport Company, which has as many as 35.5 million ounces of gold reserves, is not worse than the top ten gold producers. Naturally, the California consortium will not let go of such gold reserves.

In the process of fighting with the Europeans in the previous stage, these veteran consortia in the United States can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with Tang Feng, so there should be no problem for Tang Feng to use Freeport Mike Mollen Copper and Gold Company as this intermediary through the California consortium!
