90, the dream is broken in half
After the Bureau of Resources completed the project filing, Xu Hengqiang directly led people to the five mines section of the Liangping mining area and carried out surface work non-stop.
On the side of the road to the Minmetals section, I saw the inverted folds that had been reflected in the previous data.
Xu Xin hadn't noticed this place before, but as long as he looked up slightly, he could see clearly from the steep slope of the excavation.
Sure enough, as Xu Hengqiang explained before, this fold phenomenon is only the tip of the iceberg dug up by accident because of road construction, and it is difficult to reminiscent of the entire Minmetals section.
They got out of the car and followed the direction of the stratum, all the way to the southeast, and found that the strata had not been broken and was very continuous.
Then it can be said that it is very possible that this fold will continue to the Minmetals section.
As for whether this small local fold can involve a large inverted fold, it is unlikely that the surface work will be able to fully figure it out.
After running the surface work for a few days, the geological conditions I saw were not much different from the previous exploration data.
Then the next work is directly to drill holes.
From the surface, the stratigraphic inclination is about 200 degrees.
According to the specification of drilling, it must be from shallow to deep.
In the past, the drilling of exploration projects was started from the northwest direction of the five ore sections, close to the outcropping of the ore layer.
However, if according to the new idea they are putting forward now, there is an inverted fold under the entire Minmetals Section, then there is a stratigraphic inversion underground, and the stratigraphic tendency has been reversed by 180 degrees, and the inclination should be about 20 degrees.
With this inverted fold as the guiding ideology, drilling must start from the southeast of the Minmine section.
However, at the bottom of the slope of the mine, there is no mineable layer exposed.
This poses a huge problem for the selection of borehole coordinates.
After many meetings and discussions did not achieve satisfactory results, Xu Hengqiang decided to make a hole at the bottom of the mine.
The location of the borehole is about three to four hundred meters away from the location of Xu Xin's first use of the stratigraphic analysis horizon when Xu Xin first used the stratigraphic analysis horizon.
This is already located on the edge of the mine
According to the mine profile drawn by Xu Xin's guidance before, the location of the third layer of phosphate block rock in this borehole is about 100 meters, and the drilling depth is not more than 150 meters.
At such a depth, it will take up to two days.
This borehole is of great significance, and whether to see or not to see the ore largely determines success or failure.
During the time waiting for the drilling results, Xu Hengqiang barely slept peacefully, staring at the drilling rig every day, and staring at it every time he took the core.
Because the rock core that has just been taken up is awkward, the driller generally has to rinse it with clean water and put it neatly in the core box.
However, Xu Hengqiang didn't care whether it was dirty or not, picked up the core he had just taken out, rolled up the corners of his clothes and rubbed off the sediment on the core, carefully checked the color and hardness of the core, and then judged the lithology.
The thing I look forward to the most is to be able to see the gray-black phosphate rock.
At a depth of more than 10 meters, I actually encountered the first layer of phosphate block rock, which is quite thick and not of high grade, which is expected.
For the rest of the day, the order of the strata from new to old was normal, and there were no surprises.
There is no so-called second layer of phosphate block rock, or even the third layer of phosphate block rock.
One night later, the design hole was drilled to a depth of 150 meters.
The rig stopped.
Looking at the gray sandstone in his hand, Xu Hengqiang wanted to cry without tears.
From the 150m core of this borehole, no stratigraphic inversion was observed, and the stratigraphic sequence was normal.
In the past two days, Xu Xin followed Jiang Yehu and followed the direction of the ore layer to the northwest, and built several exploration trenches, but there was no valuable discovery.
I heard that the drilling rig hit the depth of the design hole, so they rushed over early in the morning, saw the expression on Xu Hengqiang's face, and looked at the core again, and knew that the situation was not good.
The results of the drilling were far from what was expected.
Seeing that the main technicians were there, the captain of the drilling rig hurriedly asked, "Do you want to continue fighting?" ”
Whether the borehole needs to be drilled or not should be considered from the perspective of geological needs.
Jiang Yehu knew that he should make a decision in this situation, but still asked Xu Hengqiang: "Old Xu, do you think there is still a need to fight?" ”
Xu Hengqiang still didn't believe in evil, and looked back and forth at the last box of core boxes.
There is nothing missing in the middle of these cores, and there is indeed no phosphorous rock.
He was in turmoil, and his whole person looked lost.
But years of geological experience and instinct have made him very aware of the situation in front of him.
"Don't fight, let's stop first."
"Where is the next hole, I'll arrange for someone to move the rig today." The rig captain didn't seem to feel the subtlety of the atmosphere in front of him.
Xu Hengqiang glanced at the drill captain with a muddy face, and was in a very bad mood, and hummed: "There is no next drilling, don't fight!" ”
With that, he turned around and left directly.
At the mine headquarters, they applied for several houses from the mine manager to be used as temporary project departments.
All morning, except for a few technicians who went out to run the geological site, everyone else stopped what they were doing, sat in the conference room, and thought silently.
Xu Xin didn't expect that the first drilling hole did not achieve the expected results.
Could it be that something is wrong with the system?
In the northwest direction of the five ore sections, the exploration work of the 234 ore section has also been carried out intensively.
Compared with Shuoxin Mineral Exploration Company's heavy investment, it is bound to do a big job.
For the work in the 234 ore section, three or four technicians will be sent to each project, and the work will be carried out slowly and leisurely, and there is no hurry.
After getting the news that the first borehole of the five mining section had been completed, Shen Jie and Wang Dasheng passed by to take a look at the situation.
came one after another, as well as Qi Mingyuan and Zhuo Chenhai.
When they walked into the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn, and they didn't dare to speak.
Zhuo Chenhai saw that Xu Xin's face was okay, and hurriedly pulled Xu Xin outside.
The mountain breeze is slightly cool, and the mountains in the distance are dyed with autumn yellow.
"What's the situation?"
Zhuo Chenhai pointed to the conference room, and his question referred to the atmosphere inside.
Regarding the fact that Xu Hengqiang signed a VAM contract with Fu Phosphorus Group, he got the news on the day he signed the contract.
As a partner who has cooperated for many years, he also questioned Xu Hengqiang in person.
Later, he also figured out that since the contracts were signed and could not be changed, he could only hope that Xu Hengqiang would be able to make a comeback and fight a beautiful turnaround.
But seeing Xu Hengqiang's appearance today, he thought of Xu Hengqiang's reaction after facing the bad news ten years ago, which was the same as today's performance.
I can guess with my ass that if I hit this hole, my dream will be shattered in half.
Although Xu Xin didn't figure out why the first hole didn't see the mine, he had seen three layers of phosphate rock underground when he came here twice before.
Compared to his father's almost desperate mood, he was much calmer.
"The first hole didn't see mine."
He said truthfully: "And the core condition of this hole is very different from the inverted fold that we boldly speculated before, and the stratigraphic order is very normal." ”
Zhuo Chenhai didn't understand technical things, and asked bluntly: "You mean that you can't complete the guarantee task of the VAM contract?" ”
"I think that's what my dad is thinking now."
"Wori!"
Zhuo Chenhai stretched out his leg and kicked the iron frame in front of him fiercely, making a loud clang.
He really felt sad for Xu Hengqiang.
Is there a reincarnation in ten years?
