"W-Isn't this a super silver-gold mine?"
The scene in front of him made Yang Jing almost grow his mouth involuntarily, but fortunately, he reacted quickly in the end and did not reveal this pig brother who had discovered a huge wealth.Although the value of silver is far less than that of gold, it is also in the category of out-and-out precious metals, and the value of one gram is more than three national coins.According to this price, one ton of silver is more than 3 million national dollars, more than 500,000 US dollars.Although I don't know how thick this ore body is, such a large area and such a rich treasure light are enough to prove that this ore body definitely contains extremely rich silver.The most important thing is that there is also a clear gold in that layer of silvery-white light, which proves that there is also a lot of gold in this ore body.It is difficult to mineralize pure silver alone, because silver is a copper-type ion, sulfur-loving, and has strong polarization ability.In nature, it often exists in the form of natural silver, sulfide, sulfur salt, etc., because of its large ionic radius, it can form selenide and tellurium with huge anion SE and TE.However, it usually prefers to be latent in galena, or as mechanical mixing, or as latent crystals of similar quality.The second is that it occurs in natural gold, chalcopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and other minerals.Therefore, silver can often be recovered in the process of lead-zinc ore, copper ore and gold mining and smelting.Therefore, most of the silver deposits found in the world are associated minerals.For example, silver-gold ore, for example, copper, gold, silver, molybdenum ore, and of course, more silver is smelted in galena.Silver-gold associated is a very common phenomenon in nature, and this huge ore body in front of you is obviously a silver-gold associated mine, of course, there must be other mineral resources contained in it, but it should not be as rich as silver and gold, so the treasure light emitted by this ore body can only be seen silver-white and gold.In fact, there are not many silver reserves in nature, not much more than gold.The reserves of gold on the earth are actually very rich, but most of the gold is hidden deep in the earth's core, and the gold contained in the earth's crust is so small.Again, this is more or less the case with silver.There is not much silver available in the world, just over half a million tons left.Therefore, don't look at the low price of silver now, but with more and more silver mining, the amount of silver that can be mined on the earth is getting less and less, and the price of this metal will rise wildly sooner or later.Even now, the price of silver is quite valuable, more than half a million dollars per ton, and how much is the price of copper?
$6,000 a tonne, so as long as the silver ore grade of this ore body is high enough, then mining this ore body is definitely profitable.Although it is impossible to know the thickness and ore grade of this ore body, Yang Jing believes that this accidental discovery of this ore body definitely has the value of large-scale mining.I can't imagine that if you climb a mountain, you will find a silver-gold mine with great value!
This is really unintentional!
I knew that there was such a huge silver-gold ore body under this sea water, and I didn't have to fly around in a helicopter for the first two days.Looking at the huge glowing ore body below, Yang Jing was also a little helpless in his heart.But if you think about it, it's a relief that whether it's New Britain or New Ireland, or St.
George's Strait in between, it's one of the most geologically active areas in the world, and next to the volcano I'm standing on is an active volcano that has just erupted less than 30 years ago.It is a well-known fact that it takes intense geological movements to form large-scale, high-grade veins.Just like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the third pole of the world, contains many mineral resources!
The seabed near this is also rich in mineral resources.The Rocky Mountains of North America, the Andes Mountains of South America and Central America, which are also located in the Pacific Rim Volcanic Seismic Zone, are extremely rich in mineral resources.The mineral resources contained in the crust of Mother Earth are far from the mantle, so only areas with intense geological activity can transport the mineral resources in the mantle to the earth's crust through intense geological activities, and eventually form world-class super veins.This huge ore body that seems to be a silver-gold mine is obviously formed in this way, just look at the volcanoes around here, who knows how many mineral resources these volcanoes have brought to this area in tens of millions of years.But in any case, the huge silver-gold ore body in front of you is definitely the product of the combined action of these volcanoes, as well as the Indo-Australian plate and the Pacific plate."
What do you think?
Do you miss your sister-in-law?
”The cold words startled Yang Jing a little, and when he turned his head, it was Guo Xiaoxiang.Yang Jing opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Captain Howard on the side, he immediately broke off this thought.The real boss of William Howard, Mr.
Fort Rees, is a well-known Australian mining tycoon, and if the news of a huge silver-gold ore body here falls into this guy's ears, it is unlikely that tomorrow, the exploration rights and even mining rights of this piece will be taken by the mining tycoon.Although the mining tycoon is good, when faced with billions or even tens of billions of dollars in mineral resources, everything will become virtual in the blink of an eye, and only the most practical interests are the most real.So Yang Jing shook his head very simply and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark, we have to ride back to the city." ”As he spoke, Yang Jing winked at Guo Xiaoxiang.The two of them have lived together for two years, and in the blink of an eye from Yang Jing, Guo Xiaoxiang naturally understood what it meant, so he nodded very cooperatively and said, "Yes, the sea breeze is quite fierce today, and the scalp is a little tight."
Mr.
Captain, why don't we go back?
I'm hungry. ”Captain Howard smiled and nodded, "Well, it's not too early, we should go back too." ”Guo Xiaoxiang took a pose and said to Yang Jing: "Old Yang, take a picture of me before leaving." ”Yang Jing smiled and took out his mobile phone, waved his hand at Guo Xiaoxiang and said, "You stand here a little, the scenery here is better, and you can just take in all the Duke of York Islands behind you." ”Guo Xiaoxiang obediently moved a few steps to the side, and with a sound of "eggplant", Yang Jing took Guo Xiaoxiang and the sea area in.Halfway through, Guo Dabao's phone called, asking them to come back quickly, and the dish was about to be served.When they returned to the city, they found the hotel they had booked, and the group had a lively meal.However, Yang Jing didn't eat much, and he didn't drink, but he was a little tired and wanted to rest early.Although that being said, after eating enough, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang sneaked into Guo Dabao's room, and after a while, Liu Zhaoming also quietly walked into Guo Dabao's room."
Subsea mining?
How much depth?
”After listening to Yang Jing's words, Liu Zhaoming asked with a frown."
I don't know how deep it is, but I don't think it will be.After all, it's a strait, and the color of the water is not as dark as the color of the deep sea area, so I don't think the depth of the water there should be more than 50 meters. ”As Yang Jing was talking, Guo Xiaoxiang took out a stack of materials from his father's suite, he spread them on the table, and after pulling them a few times, he picked out a map and spread it out on the table."
That's the geological data for the vicinity of the St.
George's Strait, well, at this end of Rabaul, the sea depth of the St.
George's Strait is not very deep, the deepest point here is only sixty-six meters, and the average sea depth is thirty-one meters.To be precise, Brother Yang, the sea area you are talking about is a small raised ridge. ”Hearing this, Liu Zhaoming's frowning brows relaxed, "Well, the water depth is less than fifty meters, and there are no technical problems for large-scale mining." ”"At present, the world has a set of quite mature technology for the development of minerals in shallow water areas, not to mention, our domestic Sanshan Island gold mine is mined in seawater.Although our Rongbao Mining has no experience in seabed mining before, there are many people with experience and technology in this field in China.Therefore, there is no technical obstacle to the mining of shallow water minerals, of course, the cost of the early exploration is much more than the cost of the exploration of the land vein, if we want to survey this area, the initial investment is still quite a lot. ”"It's just," Liu Zhaoming hesitated, "Yang Dong, can you be sure that there is a precious metal ore body there that is sufficient for large-scale mining?"
”Yang Jing nodded, and said very seriously: "That's right, the feeling I feel in that sea area is quite strong, even stronger than the feeling I felt when I found the mineral veins in that nameless mountain peak that day.Mr.
Liu, I trust my intuition. ”After a pause, Yang Jing glanced at the three people beside him, and continued to say firmly: "And if my estimate is right, this ore body hidden under the sea level should be a very valuable silver-gold mine, and maybe there are precious metals such as platinum and rhodium gold in it."
Of course, this is just my gut feeling, but I believe that this orebody definitely has value for development.Therefore, Uncle Guo, it is absolutely necessary to win the exploration and mining rights of this area. ”Guo Dabao looked at Yang Jing, then at his son and Liu Zhaoming next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since Xiaojing is so sure, then I believe you unconditionally!"
I will immediately arrange someone to handle the survey and exploitation rights of this sea area!
”Yang Jing smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Guo, don't worry, these two ore bodies will definitely not let you down."
And I dare say that our PNG survey or investigation trip can be closed today.Because just these two ore bodies are enough for us Rongbao Mining to eat a full stomach."
