Chapter 665 New Discovery
"The Rand Gold Mine in South Africa is the largest gold mine in the world so far. The mine was discovered in 1866 and was then invested soon after. It has been more than 130 years, and the total amount of gold mined is as high as 35,000 tons. There are still 18,000 tons of proven reserves, still accounting for 52% of the world's total gold reserves."
Fang Yuanshan next to him said silly: "No...no, can the gold reserves in this cave catch up with the Rand in South Africa?"
"The gold content in this cave is rare in the world. Even if the gold layer is only one meter thick, the length of this ore vein is at least two kilometers. I said it can catch up with the Land Gold Mine, but it may actually exceed the Land Gold Mine in South Africa."
Fang Yuanshan was unsure again and said, "Are you saying true?"
Norman nodded, but then said in a serious tone: "Boss, this gold mine is probably very troublesome. No, it should be said that it will cause you a lot of trouble."
He wondered, "What's wrong?"
"The Rand Gold Mine is controlled by the South African government, and several large consortiums also occupy certain shares in it, so it has been safe and sound for so many years. But the boss is now fully controlled by the boss, and the risk here is very great. Once the news leaks, all the rich people in the world and the Brazilian government will pounce on you like hungry wolves, tearing you to pieces and swallowing it whole."
"hiss"
After listening to Norman's words, Fang Yuanshan remembered this most important question. He has slowly begun to get to the front desk. As long as he is from the mining industry, he knows that Fang Yuanshan is a person like him. His background is simple, he has no country to be the backend, and he is also a Chinese.
As Norman said, once this matter is leaked, he will really have big trouble. All the consortiums in the world will gather around like sharks that smell blood, waiting for an opportunity to swallow him into his stomach. As for the Brazilian government and Vale, he used his butt to know how they would deal with him.
Norman has not continued to collect samples, and this matter needs to be discussed for a long time. If these samples are leaked, I am afraid that this South Ferris Ridge will no longer belong to him before his boss has developed it.
Seeing Fang Yuanshan standing beside him, Norman poured all the gold ore samples collected on the ground, and the data in the instrument was completely deleted by him, leaving only some samples of the companion sperm ore.
The two continued to move forward, and along the way, Norman was amazed and terrified by everything he saw. If this gold mine had 20 grams per ton, he might be very happy; if 100 grams, he would be very surprised; as for the current gold content per ton, geological experts with bad hearts might faint when they saw it. After the shock, a trace of haze rose in Norman's heart, worried about the future fate of South Ferris Ridge.
The two of them were walking in the dark hole, and from time to time they had to bend down to pass through. Fang Yuanshan, who was ahead, was thinking about how to hold this gold mine firmly in his palm.
His wings are not hard yet. If he fights head-on, he may suffer a loss, and it is not ruled out that some people use black means to deal with him. What should he do then? But it is not a big deal to hide it like this. If you invest so much money, you will not develop it because you are afraid of taking advantage of the situation.
Thinking of this problem, he suddenly stopped, and Nord behind him almost hit his back. Fang Yuanshan turned around and looked at him and said, "Is there a way to reduce this data? Each ton...every ton of gold content is about 50 grams, how about it? Is there any problem?"
A little avoided the light of the mine lamp above Fang Yuanshan, Norman turned his head and replied: "This is simple, just add some iron ore and re-test it."
After thinking about it in his heart, he firmly said, "Just do it like this, you can start making data now and re-collect samples."
The boss had already made the decision, so Norman naturally had nothing to say. He waited until he walked through this extremely valuable ore and appeared on the rock walls of the mineral section, and Norman began to collect samples.
The data is easy to make, just add more iron ore powder to test it, but the sample is a little troublesome. In the end, I could only find some ore mixed with half of gold and iron and stuff it into the bag, and then grind and seal it again.
Samples are necessary. After all the preparations outside are done, the news of a gold mine underground in the South Ferris Ridge will definitely be announced. At that time, important Brazilians come to visit, so don’t you find some samples for others to see?
The two of them worked together, Fang Yuanshan used a drilling machine to dig the rock wall. Norman next to him was collecting samples. The big bag brought by Fang Yuanshan was already full. It took almost two hours to get the data and samples ready.
He stretched out his wrist and looked at it. It was almost 12 o'clock now. It had been five hours since the two of them walked and stopped like this. I was afraid that the people outside would be anxious, Fang Yuanshan and the others walked towards the direction of the arrival.
Fang Yuanshan, who had already thought about how to go next, felt relaxed, and observed the rock wall with four-dimensional images. When he arrived near the gold mine, he observed the thickness of the rock formation. The thickness of these gold ore layers was far more than one meter estimated by Norman. He took a rough look and the thickness was at least two or three meters away. However, the more he extended into the rock wall, the thinner the unique patterns of the gold mine were.
Putting aside the unknown opponents who want to come over to "snatch food" in the future, he is still very happy about the amount of reserves of this gold mine. With this gold mine alone, he can also join the ranks of the world's top rich people. Of course, that's what happened after it was developed.
When we arrived at the middle of the gold mine, Fang Yuanshan discovered another situation. Unlike the faults composed of schist, granite and volcanic rocks in the front gold mine wall, behind the gold layer in the middle, there was a large area of fine iron ore, which spread to the distance in a fan shape.
"Fuck, there are surprises!"
Looking at the situation in the rock wall, Fang Yuanshan, who was walking in front, stopped again, turned to Norman behind and said, "I have a question to ask you!"
Norman, who was following closely behind, nodded and said, "Boss, you said!"
Fang Yuanshan simply wanted to pass paper and pen, and painted the shape of the fine iron ore he saw in his eyes, handed it to Norman in front of him, "How far will it radiate when such a rock formation goes?"
Norman took the figure in his hand and looked at it, then pointed to the point in front and said, "This should be a fault, and the fan-shaped rock vein in front is the starting point. Based on this judgment, its radiation range may have reached more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers."
Fang Yuanshan blinked and twitched, "Can it be so far?"
Norman smiled and said, "If this is the direction of the ore vein, it must be several mineralized areas in the world." Norman's subtext is "This has nothing to do with you."
Fang Yuanshan did not answer him, but he also remembered one thing. The direction of this mine vein was clearly towards the neighbor of the South Ferris Ridge "Nanling", which really had nothing to do with him.
