Chapter 337: Colorful
If these veins of base metals occur in plains or at lower altitudes, any of them can become world-class deposits. But here, they can only lie quietly under a rock formation of several thousand meters, waiting for an unknown number of years to be discovered by humans.
In addition to the base metals, deposits such as graphite, mica, gypsum, borax, sulphur and even uranium are also included, although they are also covered by thick rock formations, just like those base metal deposits. Although the reserves and grade of each deposit can be called the best or even the best, in terms of current human mining technology, there is no way to take these deposits.
If Tang Feng was willing, with the current state of the star core level 3 and the large amount of uranium ore contained in the vicinity, it would be completely possible to move these veins out one by one in half a month.
However, Tang Feng has no regard for this relatively low-value mineral now. If Tang Feng wants to engage in mining now, the minimum starting ore vein must be a silver mine. With a star core body, those ore veins with relatively low value no longer have any attraction for Tang Feng.
As the yak continued to advance northward, Tang Feng was able to survey more mineral deposits, for example, just more than ten kilometers in front of Tang Feng, under the rock formation of more than 4,000 meters, Tang Feng even discovered a gold and silver mine with considerable reserves.
This gold and silver mine is mainly gold and silver, and there are also some other precious metals attached to it, and the reserves are no smaller than the vein that Tang Feng originally condensed in Kajabi, and if it is moved out, this is another precious metal vein that is enough to shock the world.
It's just that now Tang Feng doesn't have any thoughts about this vein for the time being, although this precious metal vein is very valuable, but now Tang Feng wants more gem ore now, the most important thing is that if this vein is brought up, who knows if the gem ore is discovered again. Does the star core still have the ability to carry gem mines?
Therefore, although Tang Feng was itching in his heart, he finally gritted his teeth and gave up this vein. However, Tang Feng memorized the coordinates of this vein, and once he was free in the future, he could come back again at any time, and then take this vein out unknowingly.
In addition to this gold and silver mine. Tang Feng also discovered some scattered small gold and silver mines, although the scale is not very large, but if it can be gathered, it is also a quite amazing vein.
In fact, in the extreme vicinity of the Tibetan Plateau, precious metal deposits such as gold and silver ore are very abundant. It's just that mining is too difficult to mine, which has caused many precious metal ores to wait quietly on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
When Tang Feng was in college, he had a good relationship with his brother, and in his senior year, he went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with a private mining company to open mines. After he came back, he once talked to Tang Feng and his junior brothers about the precious metal mines on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau when they were drinking.
In the words of that senior brother. The Tibetan Plateau is simply a natural Kuibao concentration camp! The rare gold and silver mines in the plains cannot be said to be visible everywhere on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but as long as you use a little snack and look for it in some rivers, in those remote mountainous areas or even in uninhabited areas, at least three of the ten rivers can find placer gold!
It wasn't blowing at all, the senior brother of Tang Feng at that time found the dog's head gold in the fourth river after looking for three small rivers! Then he followed the owner of the mining company where he interned, and he didn't even go through the necessary mining procedures. I pulled in a few pieces of equipment worth millions and mined in that less than 10-kilometer river for three months. As a result, one night, the boss didn't even want those equipment, and ran down with people.
In the words of that senior brother, this is the boss himself who does not dare to mine. Because there was so much gold there, so much that the boss himself was scared. Originally, the boss did not go through the mining procedures, which belonged to illegal mining. And now that so much gold has been mined at once, can that boss not be afraid?
It can be seen how rich the mineral resources of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are!
(PS: This paragraph is not a big talk, a buddy of Xiaomo who has a very strong relationship is now doing communication engineering in Lhasa, these things are what he saw with his own eyes, and then came back to tell Xiaomo about it.) On the Tibetan Plateau. This kind of placer gold produced in the river is very common, as long as the elders of the local tribe agree to you to mine, it can generally be mined for three months, and no matter how long the time is, the elders of the tribe will not guarantee your safety, which is true! )
It's just that the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is too harsh, and many times we know that there are rich mineral deposits there, but they just can't be mined!
In contrast, the Himalayas, which are higher in altitude than the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and whose geological movements are more intense than those of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, contain more mineral deposits.
In addition to those huge reserves of base metal veins and those exciting precious metal veins, Tang Feng even discovered a small piece of "diamond" veins!
That's right, judging from the small piece of ore vein displayed on the star core display, there is no doubt that it is a diamond. However, it seems that because of insufficient pressure or insufficient temperature, the name of this small piece of diamond vein was not completely formed, to be precise, this small piece of diamond vein did not completely form pure carbon crystals, but a substance between corundum and diamond
This should be due to some unknown change in the geological movement, which led to the incomplete formation of this diamond vein. Perhaps over time, this semi-finished diamond vein may truly metamorphose into a diamond vein after millions of years!
This made Tang Feng feel distressed, if this small piece of ore vein had formed a real diamond vein, then Tang Feng would definitely not hesitate to take it into his pocket. That's a diamond mine! It's worth a lot more than gold!
However, although there is a great regret, it also makes Tang Feng's mood more excited, because the geological conditions for the formation of sapphire and diamond are similar, these two precious substances are formed in a state of high temperature and high pressure, but because the minerals formed are different, this forms different gemstones.
Sapphire is alumina, which belongs to corundum, while diamond is a carbon crystal, and diamond is another name for it.
However, it is precisely because of this that such a small piece of material between diamond and corundum suddenly appeared here, which just shows that the geological structure in this area is very suitable for the formation of corundum.
This discovery made Tang Feng's mood a little excited, and as Niu Niu under his crotch worked tirelessly to move forward, it was almost evening and the tour guide was ready to start camping, a colorful vein suddenly appeared on the edge of the survey area of the star core (to be continued......
