China claims the discovery of another record gold deposit “easy from minimum”
Chinese geologists claim to have discovered a 1,000 tons of G.old In the north -est of the country, after the discovery of over last year $ 80 billion (£ 63 billion) of the value of the precious metal.
The researchers say Chinais advanced Mineral prospecting technology It is facilitating the discovery of these huge deposits, which are among the largest in the world.
Gold allows countries to protect their economies in the middle Global financial fluctuation And it is also used in the development of batteries and electronics.
While China is the largest gold producer in the world, with a production that reaches almost 380 tons by 2024, its composite gold deposits are still behind those of South Africa and Australia.
The discoveries, like the latest in the north -eastern province of Liaoning, could help the country to maintain competition in gold production.

However, many experts are skeptical about the accuracy of recent estimates and raise doubts about the quality and mineability of these new deposits.
But China claims that these are “easy to” sites with a high gold recovery rate.
Local news reports say that the deposit site extends for over 3 km (9,800 feet) from east to west and over 2.5 km from north to south, reported SCMP.
The details of the Liaoning Gold Depot Discovery have recently been published in the magazine China Mining Magazine.
This arrives days after the November report on the geologists who find about $ 80 billion (£ 63 billion) of gold at Wangu Goldfield in the province of Wunan.
Hunan’s Geological Bureau said he discovered 40 veins on golden rocks, about a deep mile On the ground.
The Bureau said that these veins could contain 300 tons of gold with more reservations probably at depth.
Overall, he said there could be over 1,000 tons of gold on the site.
Following the discovery, the Hunan Provincial Geological Institute said that the discovery was “significant in helping to safeguard the safety of the country’s resources”.
But geologists, including those of the World Gold Council, have asked for independent verification and further perforations to confirm these estimates, adding that years could also be needed to bring these deposits into production.
These discoveries also lead to focusing China’s progress in gold prospecting technology, experts say.
“Important progress have been carried out in the search for perspectives, explorations and deposits,” wrote the team behind the latest discovery.
“In the new lap of exploration in 2024, the method of exploiting the combination of general and detailed exploration has been adopted. At the moment, all the perforation holes of the buildings have found mineral,” he said.
