"Okay, why are you on fire too!"

Xu Hengqiang reprimanded, still with a calm face, "Think about the first deep hole we drilled before, the third layer of the steep mountain Tuo Formation seen at a depth of 710 meters, the stratum dip angle is about seven degrees, you go to the northeast to push the stratum to see."

Now the purpose of several deep holes under construction is not to find ore, but to find the fold turning end here.

In fact, in the northeast direction, the ore layer cannot go infinitely deeper.

If my guess is correct, the borehole of more than 700 meters will not even see the third layer of the steep mountain Tuo Formation. ”

It was a bit complicated to say, but Xu Xin understood it instantly.

If the underground ore layer is really as Xu Hengqiang speculated, whether to continue drilling at depth will have no impact on the calculation of recoverable reserves.

After Xu Xin figured it out, he felt much more comfortable, "How much recoverable reserves can be circled out of the ore bodies that have been discovered so far?" ”

"Ten million tons is definitely no problem." Xu Hengqiang pretended to be calm.

This number means more rewards.

"Ten million tons?"

Xu Xin felt that this number was lower than his expectations.

After that, except for occasionally following Jiang Yehu to process the borehole data summary and calculate the reserves, he spent most of his time running around the mine.

He came here for an unknown purpose, that is, to complete the task of the system.

After using up 100 energy points, he also thoroughly figured out the situation of the strata in the mine, at a depth of 500 meters.

To the northeast, the ore layer is more than 500 meters, and the part that extends to the depths, he has no choice but to look at the ore intersections of the back few deep holes.

Compared with the complexity of real geological work, which requires a lot of money to carry out a large number of projects, for technicians, obtaining geological data and summarizing data is also a test of patience.

The process of obtaining a 3D deposit map is very simple and fast.

In the stratigraphic analysis horizon, three layers of phosphate block rocks are dyed with different shades of red.

The thickness of the first and second layers of phosphate block rocks is generally about 20 meters, and the phosphate grade is basically swaying around the boundary taste.

The thickness of the third layer of phosphate block rock is also more than 20 meters, but the grade is really more than the industrial grade.

From the dark red background, you can see the rich economic value.

Because of the influence of a large fault in the distance, and the squeeze of various crustal forces during the formation of folds, the entire formation does not completely exist in an oblique line along a fixed occurrence.

Every formation is basically bent and twisted.

In a large inverted fold, there will be many smaller folds.

The geology is very complex.

This 3D map of the deposit only shows the upper oblique part of a large inverted fold.

Since it is not possible to see more than 500 meters underground, it is not clear what is going on in the fold anticline part.

Even so, as far as the eye can see, the recoverable reserves of phosphate rock are already very considerable!

The system has automatically calculated the recoverable reserves: 17 million tons!

Because the ore layer exists in the shape of a wave underground, it is difficult to fully understand the situation of the entire ore layer in actual work.

If nothing else, the actual calculated recoverable reserves of this part of the ore layer at a depth of 500 meters should be different from the figure of 17 million tons.

Xu Hengqiang previously guessed that the recoverable reserves were not less than 10 million tons, and there was indeed a conservative component, but he was not wrong.

October passed quietly.

Several deep holes have also been terminated.

Sure enough, as Xu Hengqiang guessed before, the two deep holes of about 600 meters were all mineralized.

However, a careful core analysis of the two deep holes revealed that they had crossed the inverted fold at the turn of the inclined portion.

In other words, if you continue to drill in the northeast direction, you will not see the Steep Mountain Tuo Formation in the depths.

Sure enough, after the 700-meter deep hole of the final hole, after the core cataloging, the order of the new and old strata was normal, and there was no reversal.

In order to thoroughly understand the boundary of the ore layer in the northeast direction, several drill holes with a design depth of 600 meters were arranged.

During the construction of the last few drill holes, all the technicians in the project department have begun to sit down and process the data.

The project report was personally written by Jiang Yehu, and it was quickly compiled, and the final reserve data was missing.

Less than a week into November, all project work is basically over, and core chemical analysis has been obtained.

After applying for the acceptance of the project, Fu Phosphorus Group and the Municipal Resources Bureau jointly discussed, set the acceptance date, and invited the members of the expert group.

Because the mining rights in the Liangping mining area are still valid, the acceptance procedures for the exploration projects carried out in the mine are relatively relaxed.

The members of the expert group are all experts who are familiar with the Fulin Group.

The team leader is directly Qi Mingyuan, and the team members are Shen Jie, Wang Dasheng, Liu Shen, He Penghui and others, all of whom are well-known geological experts with high professional titles in Xingfu City.

Qi Mingyuan, Shen Jie and Wang Dasheng have come to the project many times and are very familiar with various surface projects and drilling projects.

After a simple check of the core library, several sealing signs, and roadside trenching, the data acceptance was carried out directly.

The expert group seems to have reached a consensus that the main purpose of this acceptance is to ensure the accuracy of the reserve data!

In the project department, on the improvised conference table, every expert stared at the chapter on reserve analysis in the exploration report.

"Nineteen million tons of recoverable reserves?"

Shen Jie and Wang Dasheng glanced at each other, and they both saw a terrifying look in each other's eyes.

The projects of the two companies are nearby, and occasionally when they have free time, they will visit each other and chat a few words.

They have been to the five ore section no less than five times, and every time they come here, they can see the end hole of the ore hole here, and they are also curious to take a few glances at the ore layer.

Even Xu Hengqiang signed the gambling contract, thinking that if the 234 ore section is also inverted and folded, there will be a mine layer underground!

So they arranged for exploration holes, drilled inside the mine, and it turned out that there wasn't much luck in the world, and they didn't see any ideal phosphorite formations.

This work did not get the desired result, but was also questioned by Qi Mingyuan.

But they never imagined that in the end, the recoverable reserves of the project in the five mining section reached 19 million tons!

The last time they came here, they were also discussing the previous exploration project, which has reserves of 27 million tons.

If Xu Hengqiang and the others found another 27 million tons, wouldn't they get a reward of 220 million?

At that time, no one would be so optimistic.

During the formation of the inverted fold, it has undergone complex geological activities, and the ore layer may not be well preserved.

can complete the minimum guarantee task of the VAM contract - 5 million tons of recoverable reserves, Xu Hengqiang is afraid that he will burn high incense.

Looking at the reserves of 19 million tons now, I am really shocked.

If the final reserves are verified, it is indeed this number.

Then, Shuoxin Mineral Exploration Company will receive a reward of 140 million!

This is real money, not a dream!

As an exploration company in a small industrial city, who has ever seen such a large amount of exploration fees?
