Hello everyone, my name is Xiling Gold Mine. I come from Shandong, the largest gold-producing province in China. I am the largest single gold deposit discovered in the history of gold in China.

I don't seem to be very famous. Most people in the mining industry don't know me. Firstly, it's because I was just "born" not long ago, and secondly, maybe because I'm too low-key!

Closer to home, I will now formally introduce my life experience. Everyone, please listen carefully:

The Laizhou-Zhaoyuan area in northwest Jiaodong, Shandong is one of the few extra-large gold mine-rich areas in the world, and I am the "star deposit" in this area. After sixteen years, a total investment of about 320 million yuan, 88 boreholes, a drilling volume of 133,000 meters, and testing of more than 20,000 samples of various types, we finally discovered me hidden 1,000 meters underground.

Chen Yumin, Chairman of Shandong Gold Group

My ore body extends for more than 2,000 meters, and the local thickness of a single ore body reaches 67 meters. Currently, 382.58 tons of gold metal have been detected, with an average grade of 4.52 g/ton. The results were announced in Shandong Province on March 8, 2017. The Department of Natural Resources has filed a record and officially entered the exploration stage. Through drilling and intensification construction, it is expected that more than 550 tons of gold resources will be submitted in the future, with a potential economic value of more than 150 billion yuan. It will become the largest single entity in the history of domestic gold records. gold deposits. If calculated based on a production scale of 10,000 tons/day, it can be continuously produced at full capacity for 40 years.

It's not easy to find me

As the largest gold mining area in China, the Jiaodong area of Shandong Province has produced 1/4 of the country's gold output in an area less than 1/500 of the country's total, and has encountered a "bottleneck" - as the level of mineral exploration increases year by year. , surface outcrops and shallow mines are becoming less and less common.

According to Science and Technology Day’s report on the 31st, Chen Yumin said in an interview that the discovery process of this gold mine was not easy. “It took us 16 years, an investment of 320 million yuan, and four or five top domestic scientific research institutions to reveal the gold mine. Uncover the secret of this super-large gold deposit that has been nurtured for hundreds of millions of years and is buried more than 1,000 meters underground.”

This prospecting process not only has a long history and high costs, but also has high technical requirements. It is understood that the current exploration and mining depth of most metal deposits in my country is less than 1,000 meters. Both theoretically and in construction, the depth below 1,000 meters is still blank.

Therefore, Chen Yumin and his colleagues established a concept that "looking for minerals in the depths must come first with scientific research." During the exploration period, Shandong Gold Group carried out the major scientific research project "Ultra-deep Comprehensive Geological Research and Resource Prediction in the Jiaoxi Northwest Gold Mining Area" and completed the first deep drilling of 4,006.17 meters in China's rock gold exploration in the Xiling mining area, setting a new record for small diameter in China. The record of the deepest core drilling has created a precedent for deep exploration of metal minerals in China and filled the gap in deep gold exploration in China.

The challenge of drilling 4,000 meters deep is a huge challenge for scientific research and construction personnel. Scientific researchers need to trial and error, develop and improve... Fu Xiansheng, chief engineer of Shandong Gold Group, also said, "Drilling three to four thousand meters underground once , it will cost tens of millions of dollars.”

This time, Shandong Gold Group discovered the Xiling gold deposit, which not only became the largest single gold deposit in the history of domestic gold records, but also provided a reference model for deep mineral prospecting in my country.
