On January 19, the China Geological Survey Bureau of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China announced that the China Geological Survey discovered large gold mines in Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and other places.
It is understood that gold mine prospecting in three mining areas, including Anbalibei, Gansu, Hadamengou, Inner Mongolia and Baoxinggou, Tahe, Heilongjiang, has made breakthroughs, with a total of 168 tons of new gold resources added.
Anba Libei Mining Area added 102.4 tons, reaching a super-large scale. The Hadamengou Dadagou Mine section added 41.3 tons, and the Tahe Baoxinggou Gold Mine added 24.3 tons, both of which are large-scale.
The China Geological Survey introduced that with the support of the central government, the mineral exploration focused on key mineralization zones such as Jiaodong, Qinling Mountains, and the western edge of the Shangyangzi, as well as 24 large-scale gold mine resource bases such as Hadamengou and Gannan-Longnan Gold Mine. This mineral exploration combined with the big data-big model-big computing power ore-formation prediction model, 47 mineral exploration target areas were identified, 35 block suggestions were submitted, and the gold mine exploration scope was expanded.
Recently, China has successively released major gold prospecting discoveries. Hunan Provincial Institute of Geology announced on November 21, 2024 that the exploration of Wangu Gold Mine Field in Pingjiang County, Hunan has made a major breakthrough. After years of hard work, the Hunan Geological Disaster Investigation and Monitoring Institute, a subsidiary of the Hunan Geological Institute, discovered more than 40 gold veins in the depth strata above 2,000 meters underground in the Wangu Gold Mine Field, with a gold grade of up to 138 grams/ton, and a total of 300.2 tons of gold resources were found in the core area of the exploration. Experts held that the scale of the Wangu Gold Mine Field deposit in Xiangdong is super large, with a long-term gold reserve of more than 3,000 meters underground, and the current gold price calculated resource value reaches 600 billion yuan.
The press conference on the achievements and outlook of geological work in Shandong Province held earlier also announced: Shandong's strategic mineral exploration has achieved new breakthroughs, with a new amount of gold resources of 581 tons. Laizhou Xiling Gold Mine has become the largest single gold deposit in the country, and its status as the third largest gold mine in the world in Jiaodong has been further consolidated.
