Chapter 570: Exploration and mining rights

Yang Jing glanced at Liu Zhaoming. Seeing Liu Zhaoming’s agitated look, he smiled and shook his head and said, “I’m not sure yet, but this area gives me a good feeling. Teacher Liu, you know I am Those who play antiques, I feel that this kind of thing is the most important thing, even more important than related knowledge and experience. But, my instinct is very good. Even my four masters admire me very much. ."

Liu Zhaoming also smiled and said: "Yang Dong, I don't need you to tell me about this. In fact, every normal person will have countless intuitions in his life, and these intuitions are often correct. But unfortunately, big Some normal people believe in their own knowledge or experience even more. They don’t even consider that even knowledge or experience is not necessarily correct in many cases. As a result, they often misunderstand the original correct intuition and choose to believe it. Wrong experience and knowledge."

   啧啧, look at the teacher Liu, Professor Liu, how brilliant these words are, and how comfortable they are to listen to.

   Yang Jing immediately gave Teacher Liu several likes in his heart.

   Although Liu Zhaoming's words did not explain, they showed his attitude. Obviously, this mining expert from Jiangsu Province had already positioned himself as an auxiliary staff early. He knew very well what his responsibilities were when he came to Papua New Guinea this time. It was not to look for mines, but to assist Yang Donglai. Prospecting.

Liu Zhaoming, who is in his forties, is able to become a professor who is a good teacher. IQ alone is not enough. In China, EQ is not at a certain level. It is difficult to become a full professor in his forties, but Liu Zhaoming does it. At this point, this is enough to explain a lot of problems.

   Liu Zhaoming looked down at the cliff under his feet again, then stepped back a few steps, found a relatively safe place, took the tablet out, and began to operate continuously on the tablet.

After a long time, he raised his head and said: "Yang Dong, if you follow the usual surveying methods, it is very difficult to survey the area you mentioned. But I am currently doing a research that is aimed at various complexities. The technology of terrain surveying and mining. Although this research has not been fully completed, there have been some gains in the past two years. In terms of the terrain here, if vertical well surveying and logging are not possible, horizontal surveying can be done. Well, although it takes a bit of effort, the effect is the same. Dong Yang, if you can invest a lot of money in surveying this area, it is completely possible to conduct industrial-grade surveys."

   There are only three people, Yang Jing, Liu Zhaoming, and Guo Xiaoxiang. Chris and the others were on guard with weapons as soon as they got off the helicopter. Therefore, Liu Zhaoming was not afraid of being heard by others.

"As for large-scale mining, as long as it can be determined that there are mineral deposits here, it is not difficult to conduct large-scale mining. Even if you want to open-pit mining, there is no problem, but this requires some geological experts to come and judge the mountain. Geological conditions. It’s really not good. Let Mr. Guo apply to the upper level to use satellite remote sensing technology to conduct detailed surveying and mapping of this area. If satellite remote sensing surveying and mapping can be added, it will be better to determine whether this area has ore bodies. "

Hearing what Liu Zhaoming said, Yang Jing was determined in heart. As for the addition of satellite remote sensing technology, it is not impossible, but it is not easy to apply for that thing. Although China has launched several resource satellites in the past few years, The above technology is also extremely advanced, but the satellites are all in orbit. It is not known whether these resource satellites can be monitored here.

   But since Liu Zhaoming is so sure that he can survey and mine, then everything is fine.

   As for whether there are precious metal mines here, others do not know, but Yang Jing dares to be 100% sure. If it weren't for the existence of the holy ring, it would be ok to mine here directly, where would it be so laborious?

   Guo Xiaoxiang frowned and asked in a low voice: "Lao Yang, if the mine is to be built from here, the surrounding environment and safety issues..."

   Guo Xiaoxiang’s worries are not superfluous. First of all, this place is in no-man’s land. Of course, this kind of no-man’s land is aimed at normal modern people. As for the indigenous people living here, it must not be counted. Secondly, here is really deep mountains and old forests in the absolute sense, and the conditions in all aspects are extremely bad.

   The various external conditions required to develop a mineral deposit are relatively high. Apart from anything else, at least there must be a sufficiently solid road leading to the outside world. Otherwise, how can these minerals be transported out? And how to transport the mining equipment inside?

   These are all necessary prerequisites, and if you want to build roads in such deep mountains and old forests, the difficulty and investment are not ordinary.

  The most important thing is that Guo Xiaoxiang is very worried about whether there are hunter heads around here...

Yang Jing tilted his head and looked at Liu Zhaoming. Liu Zhaoming immediately explained: "Mr. Guo, these are not problems. The development of mineral resources has never been a simple matter. It is just like the Bolgerakin we saw in the morning. Mine, more than 30 years ago, there was also a primitive jungle, except for a few indigenous people, no one dared to enter. But what is it now? It has developed into a very modern town, even in Papua New Guinea. The main road lines have been repaired."

After a pause, Liu Zhaoming continued: “This time we are able to obtain the exploration and mining rights. In fact, the most critical reason is that our country is willing to share these mineral resources with the PNG government. After developing valuable mineral resources, the Papua New Guinea government will hold 25% of the shares in this mine. So Mr. Guo, don’t worry too much about some things. To put it in an old Chinese saying in China, that is car arrival. There must be a road in front of the mountain. Besides, what is mining in this environment? You haven't visited the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to see the minerals there. Mining on the edge of the Yajiang River or in the depths of the plateau is more difficult than here. There are more, but there are still many large-scale mines being mined there. Mr. Guo, from a technical point of view, there is no problem with mining here."

Yang Jing took the slab in Liu Zhaoming's hand, and after operating it for a while, he held the slab and said to Guo Xiaoxiang: "Xiaoxiang, in fact, the investment before mining, whether it is surveying or building roads and bridges, will all be counted into mining. In the cost. Do you know how much the mining cost of the Borghera gold mine is? About 700 US dollars per ounce, this price includes the cost of repairing the road from Mount Hagen to Borghera. I know that this road is more than 180 kilometers in length. And if there are really mineral deposits here, then the road from here to Candipa in the south, the straight line distance is only 40 kilometers, even if it is a road, The length is estimated to not exceed 70 kilometers."

   Guo Xiaoxiang looked down at the tablet and sighed and said: "Brother, I am not worried about the cost, I am worried about the **** hunter chiefs..."

Yang Jing and Liu Zhaoming laughed when they heard this. Yang Jing said, "Brother, your worry is a bit superfluous. If there are really valuable precious metal deposits found here, let alone the local indigenous people. Even if the Australians invaded, there are probably some people who helped the Papua New Guinea government fight the invaders. For the indigenous people, we don’t have to worry about them. The Papua New Guinea government will definitely deal with those indigenous people.”

   Liu Zhaoming also nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Guo, in the face of sufficient benefits, the indigenous people living here are not a problem."

   Liu Zhaoming's words are very heartfelt, but they are **** and directly point out the facts. Even in Africa, this kind of thing is often staged, let alone Papua New Guinea, which is even more remote than Africa. The expulsion of the indigenous people here is not a problem for the Papua New Guinea government.

   Liu Zhaoming's words silenced Guo Xiaoxiang directly. In fact, he also knows these truths, but Guo Xiaoxiang's psychological shadow of the Hunter Head tribe is too large, so he has been thinking about it all the time.

   Yang Jing turned to look at the direction of Porghera, and asked Liu Zhaoming, "Mr. Liu, this area is not part of Rio Tinto's mining and survey area, right?"

Liu Zhaoming shook his head and said: "This still needs to be checked~lightnovelpub.net~ It is difficult for outsiders to know how much mining rights and exploration rights Rio Tinto has in this area. This must go to the Ministry of Mines of Papua New Guinea. It’s okay to inquire. But according to my estimation, since Rio Tinto is mining in Porghera, their exploration rights and mining rights should not reach here. In terms of the direction of the Marler Mountains, Rio Tinto controls The area should be long in the east-west direction and short in the north-south direction. It is more than 30 kilometers away from Porghera and it should not belong to Rio Tinto."

   While talking, Liu Zhaoming took out the GPS locator from his backpack again, carefully noted the specific coordinates here, and then said: "It's okay, you'll find out after you go back and check it carefully."

Guo Xiaoxiang said on the side: "In fact, even if it belongs to Rio Tinto, it is not impossible to buy it. The natural conditions in this area are too bad, and Rio Tinto obviously has not found any mineral resources in this area, otherwise Rio Tinto would have already The mining equipment is brought here. So even if this area belongs to Rio Tinto, we can let the PNG government lobby in the middle and then buy this area."

   The transfer of exploration rights and mining rights of mineral resources is a common occurrence in international mining. It is nothing more than a higher price for those who take over.

   If there are really abundant precious metal mines found here, then the price will be nothing.

Yang Jing clapped his hands and said, "OK, that's it for today. Xiaoxiang, we go back and discuss with Uncle Guo carefully to see how we can obtain the survey rights and mining rights in this area at the least cost. !"
