Chapter 606: The St. Lawrence Copper-Gold Mine
In fact, in addition to these moving giants, there are other bigger ones in this mine, such as the huge and somewhat unconventional Krupp multi-wheel bucket excavator, such as the electric shovel that is close to 50 meters in height and length
These mining machinery constitute the most basic force of a mine, and it is the crystallization of these human science and technology that will make the mining work of the mine develop from the most primitive manpower mining to the current mechanized operation.
In fact, it is only at the mining site of a large mine that you can truly appreciate the greatness of human technology. Really, here, those construction machinery you touch, each one has a common feature - big!
Some people may dismiss this, because in their eyes, only the smaller and more delicate things are, the more high-tech technology they contain, and the more representative they are of human science and technology.
In fact, if a construction machine can be large to the extreme, then the scientific and technological content contained in it is also very sufficient. No matter how big or small, whether delicate or rough, as long as it reaches an extreme, then it can represent human technology.
It's like the Belas that just walked by, can you say that this car has no technological content? If there is nothing about such vehicles, what about the other giant dump trucks? If this car can't be called a miracle of technology, then you can build a car of this size!
You know, this kind of car is the only big guy in the world with a load capacity of more than 450 tons, even the DE400 produced by Huaxia XCMG Group, its payload is only 400 tons!
Not to mention the multi-wheel bucket excavator and the huge electric shovel, compared to these big guys, that Belas is the little brother again. These big guys are the real giants, one by one, just like the Decepticon Hercules that appeared at the end of "Transformers 2". In front of them, you can really feel what is called real shock.
The environment in the mining area is not good, there are ups and downs and noises everywhere, Tang Feng and Xuanyuan stood here for a while, and their bodies were already covered with dust, and the conversation between the two people. From the loud sound just now to the hoarseness of now, more and more mining trucks drove from a distance, so that this place suddenly turned into a noisy garbage dump with a noise of more than 120 decibels.
"Let's go, let's sit in the office for a while, it's too noisy here" Xuanyuan shouted loudly in Tang Feng's ear, Tang Feng nodded, and followed Xuanyuan towards the office area in the distance.
The mine's office area is a small two-story building that has just been built, next to the wooden house where Xuanyuan used to live, and the small building is not high. However, the area is not small, and a mining area as large as the St. Lawrence Copper Mine still needs a lot of management personnel.
This place is a little higher above sea level, and standing in front of the door of the small building, you can see almost the entire St. Lawrence Valley.
The middle area of the St. Lawrence Valley is the heart of the mine, while a large open field at the northern end of the valley has been selected as the tailings area for the St. Lawrence Copper Mine. Floating soil excavated from the pit, useless rocks, and low-grade ore remaining after beneficiation are deposited in this area.
Tang Feng followed Xuanyuan into the office. As soon as she sat down, a pretty girl walked in with two cups of steaming coffee.
Tang Feng took a sip of coffee. Only then did he ask, "Xuanyuan, how did you choose the location of the mine?" Is the survey data the most beneficial for mining? ”
Xuanyuan said with a smile: "Brother Tang, you can rest assured about this matter, the choice of the location of the pit was personally finalized by Mr. Albert and Mr. Stallone." Mr. Stallone drilled four reconnaissance wells in that area, after a comprehensive comparison. It was finally determined that the shallowest and highest grade copper ore was buried in that area, and then, with Mr. Albert's consent, the decision was made to mine from that area. ”
Tang Feng nodded, he knew these situations best, as the owner of the star core. No one knows better than him what the underground copper mines are. Obviously, the location that Christian and the leader chose together was an excellent mining location, and through this choice, it was clear that they were indeed the kind of mining experts who had real skills.
The four survey wells also gave Tang Feng the opportunity to place the gold and platinum in the star core, and the four survey wells were separated by a distance of two kilometers, so it was not a problem to place a precious metal vein in the core area of the copper mine.
Tang Feng's plan is very simple, that is, between these four survey wells, find a suitable area, and then place the precious metal vein in the star core in this copper pit, of course, this precious metal vein is hidden by the upper porphyry copper mine, when the pit is dug down to a depth of 100 meters, this precious metal vein will be automatically revealed, and at that time, the St. Lawrence copper mine will become a veritable copper-gold mine like the Arica copper mine.
A few days ago, Tang placed gold ore and platinum ore with an average grade of up to 60 g/t in the core triangle of the Arica copper mine, placing a total of about 2,000 tonnes of gold and 1,000 tonnes of platinum.
This time, the gold and platinum ores housed in the St. Lawrence Copper Mine are slightly lower than those of the Arica Copper Mine, but even so, the average grade of these precious metal ores can reach 50 g/t, which is an absolute high-grade precious metal ore.
This time, Tang plans to place more precious metals, and the overall reserves are about 2,700 tons of gold and about 1,300 tons of platinum. Once these precious metal ores are placed, a world-class vein of precious metals will be "discovered" when the pit is excavated to a depth of 100 meters.
After chatting with Xuanyuan in the office for a while, Tang Feng excused himself from fatigue and needed to rest, so he went up to the lounge on the second floor, lay on the bed and quietly activated the star core.
At this time, the rock formations beneath the St. Lawrence Valley are very different from those of a few months ago. Copper resources are everywhere in the underground rock formations of this long canyon, and there is a green emerald gem mine on the mountain not far away. The interplay of yellow and green makes this valley a veritable "valley of wealth".
Tang Feng spent more than two hours quietly placing a large amount of precious metal ore in the core area of this copper mine. In the near future, the St. Lawrence Copper Mine will be renamed the St. Lawrence Copper & Gold Mine! (To be continued.) )
