Back at Mount Hagen, Guo Dabao heard the specific inspection news and was amused on his fat face. He set up a large table to reward Yang Jing and his group.

Yang Jing was also very happy. He did not expect that on the first day of investigation, he could find a world-class large gold mine. Although there has not been a specific result yet, judging from the natural treasure gas emerging from that ore body, the gold reserves of this ore body are definitely not worse than those of the Borgela gold mine, and even the average grade is higher than that of the Borgela gold mine. Otherwise, the natural treasure gas emitted by this ore body would not be as rich as that of the Borgela gold mine.

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

The good start of the first day made Yang Jing very confident, so in the next few days, Yang Jing and his party took the helicopter they rented and almost moved all the areas within a radius of hundreds of kilometers around Mount Hagen. Unfortunately, except for the gold mine that was accidentally discovered on the first day, there was no gain in the remaining days.

This does not mean that there are no gold mines near Mount Hagen, but that there should be no high-grade enrichment mines like the ones found on the first day.

In fact, there are still many small or even micro gold mines in the mountainous areas near Mount Hagen. This can be seen from the private gold diggers that can be seen in the past few days. This also shows that in the mountainous areas near Mount Hagen and even the entire Mahler Mountains, the reserves of gold resources are still very rich.

Heavy elements such as gold, platinum, silver, and copper are elements that cannot be formed by the earth itself, which 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 is over.

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? There is a saying that has gradually become mainstream, that is, these heavy element metals on the earth actually come from heavy element metals produced before the birth of the earth, after the collision and explosion of two neutron stars.

Because even after the nuclear fusion of a star ends, an iron ball forms inside, due to gravity, this huge iron ball will continue to undergo chemical changes under the action of strong gravity. If the mass of the star is large enough and the final collapsed product can form a neutron star, then this neutron star will contain heavy element metals with a larger molecular weight than the iron element.

Once two neutron stars with amazing mass collide and explode, the heavy element metal that was originally bound by the huge gravity of the neutron stars will be thrown into the universe.

When the earth is formed, gravity will capture these heavy element metals that are 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 is far greater than that in the earth's crust. Similarly, even in the earth's crust, there are few places where high-grade enrichment ores can be formed, which is why there are so few high-grade enrichment gold ores on the earth.

Because of the orogenic movement on Irian Island, the gold elements deep in the earth were raised to the surface. Therefore, the gold content in the Mahler Mountains is very abundant, but the chance of forming high-grade enrichment ores is extremely low.

Currently, two world-class super-large gold mines have been found in the central mountain range of Irian Island, one is the Glasberg copper and gold mine in the west, and the other is the Porgela gold mine. The ore body discovered by Yang Jing a few days ago is the third super-large gold mine discovered by humans on this island so far.

At the same time, in terms of the terrain of Irian Island, it is only the value of industrial-grade mining that is more than a few hundred tons or even thousands of tons of gold mines. If small mines with reserves less than ten tons can be mined on a small scale in plains, but in mountainous areas, then forget it.

When mining in mountainous areas, the early investment is quite high, so gold mines with very small reserves have no value in large-scale mining.

This is why so many private gold diggers mine gold on this island in Papua New Guinea and even in the west.

This small and micro gold ore has little reserves and is not a rich ore. The grade of gold ore is very low. Even if Yang Jing injects energy to the end, he cannot see any natural treasure gas coming out.

After four or five days of investigation, the result was nothing, which made Yang Jing a little discouraged.

However, just after Yang Jing came back that afternoon, Guo Dabao sent him good news.

"Xiaojing, the area you guessed was confirmed by satellite remote sensing technology, and it can be confirmed that there is a high-grade precious metal ore there. Moreover, through the verification of the Papua New Guinea mining department, we have confirmed that the area does not belong to Rio Tinto's survey and mining scope. Rio Tinto's survey and mining scope is more northerly."

When Guo Dabao said these words, his fat face became a big sunflower happily. It can be seen that Guo Dabao was very happy to get such a result.

At the same time, Yang Jing also understood that the relationship between Guo Dabao and the upper class was far deeper than it seemed on the surface. You should know that it was a mobilization of resource satellites that were hundreds of kilometers away, and the result was achieved in just a few days. This can only be said that the Uncle Guo, who was smiling like Maitreya Buddha, had a different relationship with the upper class.

"Uncle Guo, can we successfully obtain the survey rights and mining rights of this area?" It is not enough to know that the results are not enough. The fundamental reason is to be able to successfully obtain the survey rights and mining rights of this area.

The competition in mining is quite strong. You find that an area may contain high-value minerals but it is not enough. You still have to have the ability to obtain the survey and mining rights of this area, which is to put the results in your own pocket.

If you do not have the ability to obtain the survey rights and the most critical mining rights, then the area will be immediately snatched away by others. No matter what type of high-grade enrichment ore is, it is of high value, especially high-grade precious metal enrichment ore, whose value is self-evident. A high-grade precious metal enrichment ore can directly create a large mining company with a market value of over 10 billion US dollars.

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

Just like Rio Tinto's Panguna copper and gold mine owned by Bougainville Island in eastern Papua New Guinea, that mine is the largest copper and gold mine in Papua New Guinea, and its reserves are not even much worse than the Glasberg copper and gold mine.

However, in the late 1980s, an independent coup occurred in Bougainville Island where the Panguna Copper and Gold Mine was located, which led to the suspension of the Panguna Copper and Gold Mine. But even so, Rio Tinto, which owns the absolute controlling stake in the Panguna Copper and Gold Mine, has never given up on this copper and gold mine.

The Panguna copper and gold mine alone is worth more than 60 billion US dollars, and other companion mines are also valuable!

Such a treasure-cup-like enrichment mine will never let go if Rio Tinto kills it. Rio Tinto is also very clear that once it is a little weaker, then whether it is BHP, Barrick Gold, Newmont Mining, Freeport Mike Moron, these mining companies that have always been eyeing the Panguna Copper and Gold Mine will definitely bite it hard!

Therefore, now it is not enough to just roughly confirm your "guessment". The most important thing is to seize the survey rights and mining rights of this area.

Guo Dabao smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Since we already know that there is a high-grade precious metal-rich mine in this area, the survey rights and mining rights of this area will never fall into the hands of others. Xiaojing, continue to investigate. As long as you think the right place is suitable, you, Uncle Guo, will be responsible for completing the survey rights and mining rights!"

Guo Dabao said this firmly. It is obvious that this proven high-grade precious metal enrichment mine has given him the determination to go all out.

Yang Jing nodded and said, "I don't plan to inspect the mountainous areas for the next period of time. The inspections these days have not been very satisfactory, so I don't plan to waste my time here anymore. I plan to transfer to the eastern part of Papua New Guinea from tomorrow."

Guo Dabao nodded thoughtfully, "Xiaojing, do you mean to go to the island in eastern Papua New Guinea to see it?"

"Yeah." Yang Jing nodded.

"Okay, there are actually many large mines on the islands in eastern Papua New Guinea. Whether it is the Lishir Island Gold Mine or the Panguna Copper and Gold Mine, they are world-class super-large precious metal mines, which shows that the islands in eastern 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 avoid Bougainville Island, try not to go there, I heard that there is a bit uneasy recently."

Yang Jing nodded.

The residents of Bougainville Island are also a thorn. In 1988, due to the intensification of conflicts between the central government, local governments, development companies, and landlords in the mining area, local people began to resort to force under the organization of separatists, closed the largest Panguna copper mine in Papua New Guinea, and declared independence in 1990, and the Burj Krissia broke out.

The Bundesliga crisis lasted for a total of twelve years. It was not until 2001 of the new century that the Papua New Guinea government and the various factions of Bougainville reached an agreement on a comprehensive resolution of the Bundesliga issue, including Bundesliga autonomy, referendums and weapons handling. Bougainville began to be autonomous from then on.

You said you are all autonomous, what else is there to be dissatisfied with it? But, in the absence of human hearts, snakes swallow elephants. Bougainville has just been calm for seventeen years, and recently, separatists want to completely separate Bougainville...

Yang Jing has also heard of this situation, so without Guo Dabao's reminder, Yang Jing would not be so stupid as to run to that kind of place to investigate.
Chapter completed!
