Happy Tycoon

Back in Mount Hagen, after Guo Dabao heard the specific news of the inspection, his fat face was happy, and a large table was set in the evening to reward Yang Jing and his party.

　　 Yang Jing was also very happy. He didn't expect to find a world-class large gold mine on the first day of inspection. Although no specific results have been surveyed yet, judging from the natural gas emerging from that ore body, the gold reserves of this ore body are definitely not worse than that of the Borghera gold mine, and even the average grade is even higher than that of the wave. Erghera gold mine, otherwise the natural gas emitted by this ore body will not be so richer than the natural gas emitted by the Borghera gold mine.

　　 Others don't know, but Yang Jin is almost certain that there is a world-class super-large gold mine.

The opening of the first day made Yang Jing very confident, so in the next few days, Yang Jing and his team took the helicopter that they had rented, almost a hundred kilometers around Mount Hagen. The areas inside have all been revolved, but unfortunately, apart from the gold mine that was accidentally discovered on the first day, there was no gain in the remaining few days.

　　 This is not to say that there are no gold mines near Mount Hagen, but that there should be no high-grade enriched mines like the one discovered on the first day.

In fact, in the mountains near Mount Hagen, there are still many small or even micro gold mines. This can be learned from the private gold prospectors who can often see these days. The mountains near Tehagen, and even the entire Mahler mountain range, are still rich in gold resources.

　　 Gold, platinum, silver, copper and other heavy element metals are elements that cannot be formed on the earth itself. This has been confirmed by scientists. It is well known that even the sun cannot produce heavy elements with a molecular weight greater than iron after the nuclear fusion inside it ends.

The final product of 　　 nuclear fusion is iron, which has been confirmed by scientists. As for how heavy element metals such as gold come from? Now there is a saying that has gradually become the mainstream, that is, these heavy element metals on the earth actually come from the heavy element metals produced after the collision and explosion of two neutron stars before the birth of the earth.

　　 Because even after the star’s nuclear fusion is over, an iron ball is formed inside, but because of gravity, this huge iron ball will continue to undergo chemical changes under the action of strong gravity. And if the mass of the star is large enough, the product of the final collapse can form a neutron star, then the neutron star will contain heavy element metals with a larger molecular weight than iron.

　　 Once two neutron stars of amazing mass collide with each other and explode, the heavy element metals originally bound by the huge gravity of the neutron star will be thrown into the universe.

　　 When the earth is formed, gravity will capture these heavy element metals thrown into the universe and slowly deposit them on the earth, eventually forming ore bodies of heavy element metals.

　　 Just like gold, the content of gold in the earth's crust is very low, but the content in the core of the earth far exceeds that of the earth's crust. Similarly, even in the earth's crust, there are few places where high-grade enriched gold deposits can be formed, which is why there are so few high-grade enriched gold deposits on the earth.

　　 Irian Island has raised the gold element from the depths of the earth to the surface due to the orogenic movement. Therefore, the gold content in the Mahler Mountains is abundant, but the chance of forming high-grade enriched ore is extremely low.

　　 At present, two world-class super-large gold mines have been discovered in the central mountain system of Ilian Island. One is the Glasberg copper-gold mine in the west, and the other is the Borghera gold mine. The ore body that Yang Jing discovered a few days ago is the third super-large gold mine discovered by mankind on this island so far.

　　 At the same time, in terms of the topography of Irian Island, the fault is that such gold mines with reserves of more than a few hundred tons or even thousands of tons are worthy of industrial-level mining. Those small mines with reserves of less than ten tons may be mined on a small scale if they are in the plains, but in the mountains, then forget it.

　　The initial investment for mining in mountainous areas is quite high, so gold mines with small reserves have no value at all for large-scale mining.

　　 This is why there are so many private gold prospectors mining gold on this island in Papua New Guinea and even in the west of Indonesia.

This kind of small and micro gold mine itself has little reserves, and it is not an enriched mine. The grade of gold ore is very low. Even if Yang Jing increased the energy injection to the end, he could not see any natural treasures. come out.

　　 After four or five days of inspection, the results were of no effect at all, which made Yang Jing a little frustrated.

　　 But as soon as Yang Jing came back this afternoon, Guo Dabao sent a piece of good news.

"Xiao Jing, the area you guessed has been confirmed by satellite remote sensing technology, and it has been confirmed that there is a high-grade precious metal ore body. Moreover, we have verified that the area does not belong to Rio Tinto through the verification of the PNG mining department. The scope of exploration and mining. Rio Tinto’s scope of investigation and mining is more northerly."

　　 When Guo Dabao said these things, a fat face became a big sunflower with joy. It can be seen that Guo Dabao is very happy to get such a result.

　　 At the same time, Yang Jing also understood that the relationship between Guo Dabao and the upper echelon was far deeper than it seemed on the surface. You know that it is mobilizing resource satellites hundreds of kilometers away, and the results can be produced in just a few days. This can only be said about the relationship between the smiling Uncle Guo and the above. Unusual.

　　 "Uncle Guo, can we successfully obtain the survey and mining rights in this area?" Knowing the result is not enough. It is fundamental to be able to obtain the survey and mining rights in this area smoothly.

The competition in the mining industry is quite fierce. If you find that an area may have high-value minerals, it is not enough. You have to be able to obtain the exploration and mining rights in this area. In your own pocket.

　　 And if you do not have the ability to obtain the survey rights and the most critical mining rights, then this area will be immediately taken away by others. No matter what type of high-grade enriched ore, it is of high value, especially high-grade precious metal enriched ore, its value is self-evident, such a high-grade precious metal enriched ore can directly Create a large mining company with a market value of over ten billion U.S. dollars.

　　 As for this high-grade precious metal enrichment mine, as long as a mining company gets it, they will not let it go easily if they are killed.

Just like the Panguna copper-gold mine owned by Rio Tinto on the island of Bougainville in the east of Papua New Guinea, that mine is the largest copper-gold mine in Papua New Guinea, and its reserves are not even as good as those of Glasberg copper and gold. How much is the difference in mine?

　　 However, in the late 1980s, the Bougainville Island where the Panguna copper and gold mines were located had an independence coup, which led to the closure of the Panguna copper and gold mines. But even so, Rio Tinto, which has an absolute controlling stake in the Panguna copper-gold mine, never gave up the copper-gold mine.

　　Panguna copper-gold mine is the copper-gold resource contained in it, which is worth more than 60 billion US dollars. As for other associated mines, they are also valuable!

　　 Such a cornucopia-like enriched mine would never let Rio Tinto be killed. Rio Tinto also knows very well that once it becomes a little weaker, then whether it is BHP Billiton or Barrick Gold, Newmont Mining, Freeport Mike Mullan, these mining companies that have been eyeing the Panguna Copper and Gold Mine will definitely take a big shot. Bite it down!

　　 Therefore, it is not enough to prove my "guess" in general. It is the most important thing to win the survey and mining rights of this area.

Guo Dabao said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. Since we already know that this area has a high-grade precious metal enrichment mine, then the exploration and mining rights in this area will definitely not fall into the hands of others. Yes. Xiaojing, you continue to investigate, as long as you think it is suitable, you, Uncle Guo, and I will be responsible for getting the survey rights and mining rights down!"

　　 Guo Dabao's words are categorical. Obviously, this proven high-grade precious metal enrichment mine has given him the determination to break the boat.

Yang Jing nodded and said, "I don’t plan to inspect from the mountainous area anymore in the next few days. The inspections in the past few days have not been very satisfactory, so I don’t plan to waste time here anymore. Tomorrow will begin to move to the east of Papua New Guinea."

　　 Guo Dabao nodded thoughtfully, "Xiao Jing, you mean you are going to visit the islands in the eastern part of Papua New Guinea?"

　　 "Yeah." Yang Jing nodded.

"Alright, there are actually many large mines on the eastern islands of Papua New Guinea~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Whether it is the Lihir Island gold mine or the Panguna copper-gold mine, they are all world-class super-large precious metal mines. It shows that the islands in the eastern part of Papua New Guinea also contain extremely rich precious metal mines." Guo Dabao smiled and patted Yang Jing on the shoulder, "Go, no matter how you investigate there, Uncle Guo will support you unconditionally. But one thing to note is that if you can’t go to Bougainville, try not to go there. I heard that it’s a bit uneasy recently."

　　 Yang Jing nodded.

To say that the residents of Bougainville are also a thorn. In 1988, due to the intensification of conflicts between the PNG central government, local governments, development companies, and mining landowners, the local people began to complain under the organization of separatists. Various forces shut down the largest Panguna copper mine in Papua New Guinea and declared independence in 1990. The cloth crisis broke out.

The cloth crisis lasted for a total of twelve years. It was not until 2001 in the new century that the Papua New Guinea government and the Bougainville factions reached an agreement on a comprehensive settlement of the cloth issue, including Bougainville’s autonomy, a referendum, and weapons disposal. Bougainville From then on, autonomy began.

　　 You said that you are all self-governing, what else is unsatisfying? But unfortunately, there is not enough human support. Bougainville has just been calm for seventeen years. Recently, there have been separatists who want to completely independent Bougainville...

　　 Yang Jing had also heard of this kind of situation, so without Guo Dabao's prompt, Yang Jing would not have been mentally disabled to go to such a place to investigate.

　　 This kind of horrible place, I can't go as far as I can. Minerals are precious, and the price of life is higher! There is no need to put yourself in a dangerous place for billions of dollars or tens of billions of dollars in minerals! ...
