"Huang Zong’s area is a gold-bismuth-lead composite vein with a length of 176 kilometers, a width of 34-247 meters and a depth of 3-11 meters," Song Shijia, who is in charge of mining, said, pointing to the sandy soil under his feet.
Huang Xiuyuan squatted and grabbed a handful of sand. "What’s the gold content?"
"About 12 tons per ton ~12 tons. There was a small gold mine before the tour. Those valuable mines have been cleaned up."
Huang Xiuyuan was not surprised by this.
Gold mines in China are all poor miners, and the gold content of gold mines with mining value is usually about 5~3 grams per ton.
Gold content below 5 usually does not have mining value, but mining value will be higher than gold value.
In other words, Suiren Company can exploit this ultra-poor ore and make a profit.
Using six-cone spherical oxygen to smelt is not only close to 100% refining efficiency, but also very energy-saving and environmentally friendly. This ultra-poor ore is comprehensively smelted to about 2~3 yuan per gram.
If the soil is refined to about 9~11 yuan per gram.
At present, the price of gold is more than 200 yuan, even if it is bought by the central bank (30% off), one gram is about 16~17 yuan.
Therefore, the blue age ate a lot of waste minerals, which were cheap and had certain infrastructure.
Of course, the waste mines in the blue age are all minerals containing rare resources such as gold, silver and platinum, and multi-element composite minerals containing rhenium, iridium, rhodium, palladium, tungsten, tellurium, ruthenium and osmium.
For example, the rhenium content in the rocks of three waste copper mines contracted by Shandong Province is about 11%, and the weight of waste slag and stone is about 50-960 thousand tons, and it is estimated that it can be smelted about 6-156 tons.
We should know that the recoverable amount of rhenium balls is about 25 tons, including 13 tons in Chile, 39 tons in the United States, 31 tons in Lucia, 19 tons in Kazakhstan, 95 tons in Armenia, 45 tons in Peru, 32 tons in Maple Leaf Country and 91 tons in other regions.
Although there are 237 tons of rhenium ore in China, it is a very poor mine, and the difficulty of mining and refining is far from that of foreign high-level mines.
At present, the amount of rhenium exploration ore in various kinds of waste ore, tailings and ultra-poor ore purchased and contracted by Blue Times China is about 736~92 tons.
It seems that there is no shortage of rhenium ore in China.
In fact, if there is no mining technology by Suiren company, these roots are not valuable. Which mining company dares to mine this ultra-poor ore, I am afraid it will lose even its shorts.
At present, the main way of rhenium metal is to manufacture high-temperature resistant materials such as jet engine blades.
The largest producer is Chile and the largest consumer is the United States, so the price is seriously underestimated. At present, the market price is only 37~45 yuan per gram.
For an element that is rarer than gold, the price of gold is about one point, and it would be strange if it were not tricky.
The same is true of rare earth resources in real countries. The export price is simply the price of cabbage. Later, the official stepped in to integrate the rare earth industry to curb this phenomenon of resource sale.
The price of rhenium metal is a manifestation of those small countries who have no words in international trade.
For these rare resources, Huang Xiuyuan’s plan is a strategic reserve, except for part of its own use and sale to the country, and part of its surplus production needs to be prepared.
At present, rhenium, tungsten and molybdenum are mainly used to smelt high temperature resistant alloys by snail industrial steel works.
Song Shijia led him to inspect 17 mines in Horqin area in the blue age. Although all of them are ultra-poor mines, they are still valuable for the blue age.
Because most of these rare resources are reserved, it will not have a significant impact on the normal market price, unless there is a bottleneck, the blue era will start a strategic reserve.
For example, the snail industry makes a large part of rare metals purchase raw materials from foreign countries.
This practice is also common in developed countries, such as Japan, which is poor in resources, and Korea, which pays more attention to strategic preparation.
On the other hand, in the United States, they deliberately do not adopt national resources and deliberately consume rare resources in other countries.
The motorcade stopped at a saline-alkali wasteland, and Huang Xiuyuan could see the distribution map of mineral exploration in the blue age through his notebook.
This land is a zirconium mine, although the amount is not small, it can reach 130 thousand to 150 thousand tons if it is refined, but the mineral level here is pitifully low
Huang Xiuyuan looked at the barren land in front of him and ordered, "Sega, you can combine these ultra-poor mines with Fengmin agriculture to refine minerals and transform them into pasture and cultivated land."
"white"
"By the way, your work here is arranged to return to Qinhuangdao."
Song Shijia nodded his head.
Because blue age mining companies don’t just stare at the country’s little resources
For foreign resources, it is also coveted. Qinhuangdao plans to build a mineral smelting base to import some rare resources and coarse ore to smelt these minerals by itself.
Although developed countries have long carved up rich minerals around the world, there are still many minerals with lower levels.
It needs local preliminary screening and then transport these minerals back to the blue age, so there is a way to refine them low.
Of course, this mode of purchasing lean ore and tailings is suitable for scarce resources, and it is not necessary for iron ore, copper ore and bauxite for the time being. Maybe we can consider eating some when the international price is low.
Chapter one hundred and thirty-nine Sharpen
At present, all areas of the Kulun Sandy Land have been explored by the mineral exploration team.
In the blue age, it is profitable to collect sand and refine rare resources.
Huang Xiuyuan went south to Qinhuangdao with Song Shijia.
At the same time
Qinhuangdao Blue Age Mineral Refining Base has already planned the land, and initially built six factories, and the remaining factories are under construction.
And a group of swaggering gringo cafeterias in Qinhuangdao International Hotel in downtown Qinhuangdao are laughing.
The middle-aged white man with aquiline nose walked over and asked, "How is Johnson recently?"
The Mediterranean old man shook his head with a red wine glass and laughed. "But it’s also the same for the yellow monkey to make money so that you can make Rio Tinto."
"Haha, they also want to set a price. They say that unless the sun rises in the west," sneered Belir James Matheson.
The Mediterranean old man Johnson Charles also burst out laughing.
On one side, Vale representative Ole Juan smiled and cut the steak.
The three people are business representatives of Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Vale in China. This time, the snail industry invited them to negotiate.
Belir James Matheson casually asked, "What do you think of this snail industry?"
"They said they wanted to talk to us about a sum of 10 billion yuan, which should be to lower the price!" Johnson Charles shrugged and speculated.
Ole Juan, a Latin American, wiped her mouth and said, "I think it’s the meaning of China Iron and Steel Association. They want us to lower the price through physical procurement. Otherwise, how can this snail industry small steel plant eat tens of billions of iron ore?"
"Anyway, we have to unify the caliber and they can pay the money." Belir James Matheson sneered
All three people are tacitly aware of ore pricing. Their position is the same. These steel enterprises in China are the big sheep in their eyes. How can they give up pricing?
When Huang Xiuyuan and others entered Qinhuangdao.
Shan Zhonghua, the secret director of China Iron and Steel Association, a mineral refining base in the blue age, also appeared here in a low-key manner.
