God-level Miner

Chapter 1017 Abundant Rare Earth Resources

Before coming here, Wang Xudong checked the situation of rare earth resources in Australia on the Internet.

Australia's rare earth ores are mainly concentrated in the western region.Some of the rare earth resources that can be developed and utilized in Australia are tailings from uranium mining, or associated with some large copper, uranium and gold deposits in South Australia.

Generally speaking, in the western region where rare earth resources are mainly concentrated, the data shows that the basic reserves of rare earth resources in Australia are about 500 to [-] million tons. Wang Xudong thought that the results of his own scan should be several million tons, but when the results came out, Wang Xudong himself I can't believe it!
Rare earth refers to a mixture of 57 lanthanide elements with atomic numbers from 71 to 15 in the periodic table of elements, and a mixture of 17 elements including scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y), which have similar chemical properties to lanthanide elements.

In nature, the rare earth ore types mainly include monazite, bastnaesite, xenotime, lanthanum vanadium allanite and so on.

The rare earth ore in Australia is mainly monazite, which is yellowish brown, brown, red, and sometimes green.Translucent to transparent.Streak white or light reddish yellow.Has a strong glass luster.Hardness 5.0~5.5.Brittle.

It is mainly produced in granite and granitic pegmatite, or in rare metal carbonate rock, or in greisen and quartzite, or in cloud syenite, changniite and alkaline syenite pegmatite, etc.

The scanning of the "God-level big mine owner" system is completed. The rare earth resources within a radius of 1000 kilometers and a depth of 4500 meters are all within the scanning range, no matter they are scattered or enriched together, no matter whether they have reached the level of industrial mining or are still undeveloped. All those that have reached the level of industrial mining will be scanned out.

The voice of Miner No. 5800 also rang in Wang Xudong's mind, "Brother Dong, after scanning, a total of [-] million tons of rare earth oxides were found."

5800 million tons!

My goodness!
Wang Xudong was a little startled, he couldn't believe his ears, there are so many rare earth resources, it's... too awesome!
As if feeling Wang Xudong's surprise, Miner No. [-], who already possessed some artificial intelligence, explained: "Brother Dong, in fact, the content of rare earth resources in the earth's crust is not low, but the distribution is scattered, and most of them have not reached the level of industrial mining. "

So that's the case.

This is easier to understand. The system scans many rare earth resources that have not reached the level of industrial mining. As long as Wang Xudong is willing, he can definitely gather these rare earth resources to form a highly enriched ore layer for large-scale industrial mining.

"Brother Dong, do you want to gather rare earth resources?"

Hearing Miner No. [-]'s request for instructions in his mind, Wang Xudong thought in his heart that it is natural to gather all the scanned rare earth resources to form a huge mineral layer on his own territory.

In the future, we will carry out large-scale open-pit mining of rare earth resources on our own territory. Well, with so many rare earths, it should be no problem to mine hundreds of thousands of tons every year.Wang Xudong thought to himself.

So Wang Xudong chose a gathering place on his own territory, about 5800 to [-] kilometers away from the mining town. There is a relatively flat wasteland. Wang Xudong plans to gather more than [-] million tons of rare earth resources there. The layer is about a few meters to more than ten meters.

That is to say, only a layer of mudstone several meters to ten meters thick is covered on the top, and when this thin layer of mudstone is excavated, there are rare earth mines underneath.

After choosing the gathering place, the voice of Miner No. [-] sounded in his mind: "Brother Dong, please choose the grade of the ore seam, which can reach up to one percent."

In the discrimination of the "God-level big mine owner" system, rare earth metals are rare metal elements, and rare earth resources are rare resources, and the highest grade can only reach one percent.Just like gold ore and uranium ore, the highest grade of the aggregates is one percent.

The grade of one percent means that one ton of rare earth ore can extract 10 kilograms of rare earth oxides, which is not a low grade.

Domestic rare earth resources were once very rich, and the grade of rare earth mines was mostly a few tenths of a percent, and those exceeding [-] percent were not too many.

The average grade of these rare earth ores gathered by the system is one percent, which is quite powerful. If tens of millions of tons of rare earth ores can be mined every year, tens of millions of tons of rare earths can be extracted.

The voice of Miner No. 58 sounded again: "Brother Dong, the gathering is complete, and the ore layer has been formed, with a total of more than [-] billion tons of ore."

With so much, Wang Xudong immediately understood that 5800 million tons of rare earths, with a grade of 58%, is indeed more than [-] billion tons when converted into ore.

The holographic three-dimensional map in front of him clearly shows that Wang Xudong saw the place he selected, a large area of ​​rare earth deposits, highly enriched, the deposits are basically circular, and the thickness of the deposits is more than 200 meters. The radius of two to three kilometers is full of rare earths. ore seam.

It is gratifying to look at!

Knowing that this is more than 58 billion tons of rare earth deposits, Wang Xudong was overjoyed and thought, everything is ready, we have gathered rare earth resources, the total amount is amazing, enough for large-scale mining for decades, now only Handling of mining procedures.

Rare earth resources are strategic resources. It is not known whether the Australian government can agree to large-scale mining of rare earth resources.

Well, no matter what, we must work hard to get this thing done.Wang Xudong thought so firmly in his heart.

....
Cheng Xianbiao, the chief legal counsel of Xudong Mining Company, received a task and rushed to Australia to represent Xudong Mining Group to apply to the Australian government for mining of rare earth resources, handle all matters related to rare earth mining and a series of mining procedures, etc. .

Wang Xudong called Liang Hongbo, and Liang Hongbo immediately instructed Cheng Xianbiao to go.The two large iron mines in Australia, and the super large gold mine, all mining procedures are handled by Cheng Xianbiao. He is familiar with these businesses, so he is naturally the best candidate.

Cheng Xianbiao acted immediately and took his team from Donghai City to Australia.

In Australia, thousands of miles away, Wang Xudong was eating breakfast in a restaurant in a small town shortly after he woke up.

"My lord, what are your plans for today?"

Gail accompanied Wang Xudong for breakfast, and also asked about Wang Xudong's plans and arrangements for today.Wang Xudong ate a piece of ham, and said, "Today, I have an important matter to arrange for you."

"King, tell me, what is it?"

Wang Xudong said: "I'm going to enter the field of rare earth resource mining. You go and invite an exploration team to come over and explore our territory to see if there are any rare earth resources that can be mined in our territory."

Mining rare earth resources!
Gail was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said: "King, there is no problem, I can handle it with a phone call, and an exploration team will be stationed in our territory in the next two days to conduct a comprehensive exploration of rare earth resources."

A large amount of rare earth resources, Wang Xudong, has been gathered, forming a gratifying huge ore layer with a radius of two to three kilometers and a thickness of more than 200 meters. It is very shallow from the ground and is only covered with a thin layer of soil.

Inviting a professional prospecting team to come over to carry out prospecting is naturally a deception. It is just to use this prospecting team to find out this rare earth deposit.

Gail agreed immediately, and it was a trivial matter for him to invite a survey team to come over.After agreeing to this matter, he asked again: "King, besides this matter, do you have any other orders?"

Wang Xudong said: "Then there is nothing else to arrange. I plan to stay here for a few days. Do you have any entertainment arrangements?"

"Wang" will live here for a few days!Immediately, Gail became happy, "Wang, if I take you to hunt, the hares in our territory will start to flood, and the hares can be easily hunted down."

Go hunt hares!

Wang Xudong suddenly became interested. In his memory, when he was very young, when he was in elementary school, he once went hunting hares with his second grandfather in his hometown town.

One old and one young, with a blunderbuss, followed by a local dog, usually at night, because hares are nocturnal, and come out to eat tender grass at night.

If you have a dog to lead the way, you will often gain something. With a "bang" gunshot, the hare will fall down. If you are lucky, you can hit one or two hares. Lezi, going out hunting at night is an exciting thing.

It's been a long time since I've hunted hares.

Wang Xudong was a little puzzled and said, "There are rabbits in our territory, are they almost flooded?"

Gail nodded and said, "Well, there are a lot of wild rabbits. In order to prevent the proliferation of wild rabbits, the Australian government encourages everyone to hunt wild rabbits, which means that hunting wild rabbits is legal."

Many people who travel to Australia will find an interesting phenomenon. In Australian culture, the most evil animal is not the wolf, nor the lion, nor the tiger, but the lively and lovely rabbit in the eyes of outsiders.

On the vast Australian continent, there were no rabbits. More than 200 years ago, with the arrival of western explorers or colonists, they brought rabbits.

After these rabbits arrived in the Australian mainland, they had no natural enemies and reproduced very quickly. Now they have reached the level of flooding. According to statistics, the number of wild rabbits in the Australian mainland exceeds 100 billion.

Wang Xudong's territory is located in the inland of Western Australia, which is arid and rainless. Because most of the places are relatively desolate, there are not many weeds for wild rabbits to eat. The number of rabbits is not to the extent of flooding, but the number is not small. Rabbits can be seen everywhere. trace.

After listening to Gail's speech, Wang Xudong became interested and said loudly: "Okay, today we will experience the taste of hunting, well, you don't need to accompany us, there are still many affairs in the big gold mine. You will also need your arrangements after the expedition team arrives, you just need to prepare the car and the shotgun."

Gail's movements were not slow, and not long after, he prepared a very good off-road vehicle for Wang Xudong, two shotguns, enough bullets, and some things needed for hunting, etc.

Before ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Hu drove, Wang Xudong and Zheng Xiaotong, a total of three people left the town and drove towards the vast wasteland...

..........
The second one is delivered!

That's all for today's update, thank you all!
