Chapter 523 Copper Mines in Peru
I solemnly recommend "Ghost Growth" written by the beautiful writer "Cloud Girl" at the starting point, a very good book, there is a parking space in the through train! Brothers and sisters who like it can go over and take a look, a very interesting book!
Whispering, that girl is beautiful and good-tempered
Originally, Tang Feng went to Africa to target the eight major gold producers and the main mines under the name of Anglo American, but unfortunately before the matter was completed, he encountered an attack, and Tang Feng had to return to the United States early for Sophia's safety.
Now with Chris. Fay's death, it is estimated that the gang on the other side is also aware of their own means of counterattack, and the possibility of this kind of physical attack is much smaller, so Tang Feng plans to go to South America again and start to attack the main mines under the name of Anglo American.
Anglo American is the world's fourth-largest mining group, behind BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Vale. Anglo American has nine wholly-owned secondary subsidiaries that are responsible for generating significant profits for Anglo American.
However, while Anglo American's business covers platinum, gold, diamonds, paper, packaging, non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals and coal, only copper, iron and coal account for the largest share.
In 2015, platinum, gold and diamonds accounted for only about 4% of the overall earnings of Anglo American Group, of which gold fell again and again because of the international gold price, and there was a rare negative profitability. The combined profitability of these three areas is the lowest in the entire group.
In 2015, copper accounted for 40% of the group's profits, and five world-class open-pit copper mines, led by the world's third-largest copper mine, Chile's Coyahuasi copper mine, brought more than $12 billion in turnover. It is the main source of profit for Anglo American.
In addition to copper, Anglo American's other major profit source is iron ore. Anglo American holds a 63% stake in South Africa's renowned Cooper Mines, as well as a 99% stake in the Rio Tinto iron ore project in Minas, Brazil, a 69% stake in the Amapá iron ore mine in Brazil and a 49% stake in the LLX Minemas-Rio iron ore mine in Brazil.
It is these iron ore mines, along with South Africa's Cooper Mining, that have made Anglo American the world's fourth-largest iron ore supplier, and the iron ore project can generate more than $9 billion in annual turnover for Anglo American, accounting for 30% of Anglo American's profits.
As for Anglo American's third major profit point, it is coal.
As the world's 6th largest private coal producer and exporter. It is also Australia's fourth-largest coal producer, Anglo American Coal currently produces 100 million tonnes of thermal and coking coal per annum, with mines in four regions: South Africa, Australia, Venezuela and Colombia in South America, and Canada. The coal sector accounts for 24% of Anglo American's earnings.
Although Anglo American is a behemoth, for Tang, this behemoth is just a paper tiger. The root of playing mining is mining, your mine is gone, you are a paper tiger that will fall when you poke it.
Iron, manganese and coal, Tang Feng didn't have much to do with it. However, for copper mines, Tang Feng is a little interested. The St. Lawrence copper mine in Argentina has not yet been put into production. But now that copper mine has become a mine of global attention, and its profitability can definitely rank first in the world.
Now that a St. Lawrence copper mine has been built, Tang Feng doesn't mind building another world-class copper mine. Of course, if it weren't for the copper mine of Anglo American, Tang Feng would not have much interest in making up another copper mine.
Now that we are going to attack Anglo American, we have to cut off one of the most important profit channels of Anglo American at once. It is undoubtedly a very effective way to target the copper mines under the name of Anglo American.
As the world's eighth largest copper producer, Anglo American's copper production operations are mainly concentrated in Chile, including the world's third largest copper mine, the Coyahuasi copper mine in the Tarapaca district of Chile's largest region, and Mantos in the Antofagasta region of Chile's second largest region. Blancos Copper Mine. Manto, located in the third largest region, Atacama. Baird Copper Mine, located in Valparaiso Region 5, El Soldado Copper Mine, and Los Blonces Copper Mine in the Santiago Capital Region, are the five world-class copper mines that Anglo American Group has in Chile and is also its main copper mine.
Tang Feng's target is these five copper mines.
Although the five copper mines are far from each other, from the northernmost Koyahuasi copper mine to the southernmost Los Blonces copper mine, the distance between them is 1,500 kilometers, but this is not a problem. A transformation function of the star core is enough to move all the copper ore resources that Tang Feng wants to get to the location he specified.
That's right, Tang Feng just wants to use the vein handling function of Star Core to wipe out the five copper mines of Anglo American Group in Chile.
Chile is the most narrow country in the world, which is also very convenient for Tang Feng to use the star core. The widest part of the country is only more than 360 kilometers, and the narrowest place is less than 100 kilometers, which is undoubtedly very suitable for Tang Feng to use the transformation function of the star core to sweep the five copper mines under the name of Anglo American.
You must know that although the five copper mines of Anglo American are as far away as 1,500 kilometers from each other, the horizontal distance between these five copper mines is not large, and the two largest copper mines are less than 100 kilometers apart. As long as Tang Feng stood in a suitable place, used the transformation function of the star core, and moved the angle slightly, he could wipe out these five copper mines in one go.
Therefore, the destination of Tang this time is the northern part of Chile.
Chile's copper deposits are interesting, with the northernmost world-class vein being the Cerro Cerro, more than 100 kilometres east of Iquique. The Colorado Copper Mine, from which further north, there are no world-class veins. The copper mine is still nearly 300 kilometers away from Peru, but there is no world-class copper mine in this nearly 300 kilometers area. Curiously, after crossing the border between Chile and Peru, there is a world-class copper mine in Peru.
But from Cerro. Eighty kilometers south of San Diego, the world's largest underground copper mine, the El Tenyente copper mine, is home to 23 world-class copper mines in an area of more than 1,500 kilometers.
Tang Feng's destination is Cerro. This vast desert area north of the Colorado copper mine. (To be continued.) )
