Chapter 334: Kimberlite
"Boss, is it the company's detection team that has collected the samples, and has the location been determined after detection?" Leon asked.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't, you just need to get to work." Sun Feng said solemnly.
"Yes!" Leon saw the serious boss and knew that he shouldn't talk too much, in fact, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, although mining diamonds is not as difficult as extracting oil, but there is also a lot of preliminary work to be done. Anyway, he's been here for a week, and there's no one to probe and search. But seeing that his boss looked confident, he didn't think much about it anymore. Another Leon did not say that Canada did have diamond veins, but most of them were concentrated in the north, and he had not heard of them on the east coast of Newfoundland.
Soon, the machinery and equipment and personnel were in place, and the location was the central location of this wasteland, and after the detection and search of the deep-sea development smart factory, Sun Feng knew that this was the place with the highest concentration of diamonds. So Sun Feng plans to start mining from here first.
"Leon, this is the location, you guys start working." Sun Feng had already asked people to set a standard here, so that the group of employees in Lyon could start working.
"Okay boss, everyone listen to my arrangement." So, Leon began to arrange work.
Diamonds are accompanied by rock layers, so diamonds are generally with rocks, and the mining process is to find the rock layers that can be associated with diamonds, and then dig out these rock layers, crush them, start washing, and start to find out if there are diamonds.
"Boom." Soon, the working groups were in place. The machine also started to dig this area, Sun Feng knew. The first few dozen meters should be dirt, and the rock layer below is later, but not all of them are associated rock formations. There are also other common rock formations.
There are only two types of rocks that can produce diamonds, the first is kimberlite rock, and the other is potash! If these two rock formations are found in an area, there is a good chance that diamonds are present! I heard that a lot of kimberlite rock formations were found in the northern part of Canada a few years ago. Therefore, in recent years, new diamond veins have been discovered and mined in the northern region. Canada now accounts for 10% of the world's annual production. In the future, Canada's diamond exports will definitely account for a large share!
Lyon commanded the staff. Started digging mines, this time trying to dig mines, to see what kind of rock formations are underneath the rock formations underground. If it's any of the above. That is to prove that there are diamonds underground, and that large-scale mining can be carried out at that time.
If you find that it is not, you can change places.
Two days later, the rock formation was finally excavated, and Leon personally went down the mine to see what kind of rock formation was underground!
At this time, all the employees in the audience were a little excited and excited. They all held their breath and watched as Leon led a few professional veterans down the mine. Sun Feng, Huang Jiaqian and Lucy stood on the side. Waiting for news. Since Huang Jiaqian is quite close to here, she also came to join in the fun.
However, Sun Feng still smiled calmly, because the language assistant told him that the rock formation under his feet was a kimberlite formation! That said, there must be diamonds here. Kimberlite is generally considered to be an alkaline or alkaline ultramafic rock. It is mica peridotite with porphyritic structure and angular structure. It was discovered in 1887 with the South African Kimberlite, so it is called Kimberlite. It is one of the most important igneous rocks producing diamonds. This type of rock often occurs in groups, and the famous South African kimberlite is a group of more than a dozen famous rock slips. Among them, the kimberlite with porphyritic structure and rich in coarse grains of olivine is rich in diamond, while the kimberlite with slightly porphyritic structure and rich in phlogopite contains diamond-poor.
Leon soon descended to the bottom of the mine with a few experienced men. At this time, the mining lights under the mine are turned on, and the rock formations under the ground are clearly illuminated.
The rock formations in the ground were quickly seen by Leon's people, who were holding some gadgets and began to crouch down to inspect them. There were also a few who were holding something to pry down some small stones to study.
"Leon, like this, do you think this is a kimberlite? I preliminarily concluded that this should be a kimberlite formation, and it seems that our boss is going to make a fortune this time, and I didn't expect to find a large diamond vein in this place. "A Chinese humane named Lao Wang.
"Well, I preliminarily concluded that this place also looks like a kimberlite formation, but I'm a little strange, there are no active volcanoes here, not even extinct volcanoes, why are there kimberlite formations here?" Leon frowned. In general, the kimberlite formations are transformed from some volcanic rocks.
"Who knows if this place was a volcano tens of thousands of years ago, by the way, maybe the volcano may be at the bottom of the sea not far away!" Lao Wang said with a smile.
"Well, yes, there is also this possibility, I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, and I have indeed seen some strange veins. There's nothing out of the ordinary. Leon nodded in agreement.
A few people looked at this black, dark green, gray intertwined rock formation, they continued to study, they are all old people in this industry, experienced, they came down to take a look, and they preliminarily concluded that the rock formation here is a kimberlite formation. But in the end, it is necessary to further determine whether to do this business is to be bold and careful, in case there is any mistake, the consequences will cost a lot of money.
More than an hour later, Leon came up from under the mine.
"How?" Huang Jiaqian couldn't help but ask first.
"Report to the boss, and the two young ladies, after our research, we found that the rock formation below the mine is indeed a kimberlite formation capable of producing diamonds! In other words, this place is indeed a diamond vein! Leon said excitedly.
"Wow! Kimberlite formations, really! After the surrounding employees heard the news, they all cheered, and many of them congratulated Sun Feng.
"Alright, alright, don't be happy, let's get to work, add dinner tonight! I invite you to eat hot pot. When Sun Feng heard the news, he didn't feel surprised, he already knew that this was the case.
"yes, thanks boss." Hundreds of employees cheered.
Next, Leon and a few hundred people began to work in earnest, drilling rocks, or blasting rocks, and transporting them from under the mines, where the waiting employees began to sort and knock on the rocks to see if there were any diamonds in them, and if they did, they would be sent to the warehouse.
At the same time, Sun Feng arranged more than a hundred security guards here, ready to prevent the safety work here, and even these employees had to keep a close eye on them in case they had bad intentions and secretly took away the diamonds.
The three of them looked at these busy workers, and Huang Jiaqian said coquettishly to Sun Feng: "Sun Feng, if your diamond vein produces the largest diamond, you must keep it for me." "Women, born sensitive to diamonds! Huang Jiaqian is no exception.
"Haha, this can be had, so you're going to marry me?" Sun Feng said with a smile.
"Hmph, it's up to you." Huang Jiaqian's face turned red, lowered her head and said shyly.
"Haha, then I'm going to work hard at night."
"Dead man, what, chasing me is not the one at night, you are full of that, hate!" (To be continued.) )
