Chapter 570 Exploration and Mining Rights

Yang Jing glanced at Liu Zhaoming, and saw Liu Zhaoming's somewhat excited expression, then 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 playing with antiques, and I feel that this kind of thing is the most important, even more important than related knowledge and experience. But, my intuition is very good. Even my four masters envy me."

Liu Zhaoming also smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, I know this without saying it. In fact, every normal person will have countless intuitions in his life, and these intuitions are often correct. Unfortunately, most normal people believe in their knowledge or experience more, and they do not consider that even knowledge or experience are not necessarily correct in many cases. As a result, they often mislead the original correct intuition and choose to believe in the wrong experience and knowledge."

Tsk, look at what Mr. Liu, Professor Liu said so incisively, how comfortable it sounds to make people feel.

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

Although Liu Zhaoming's words did not explain, they showed his attitude. It is obvious that this mining expert from Su Province had already positioned himself as an auxiliary staff early on. He knew very well what his responsibilities were for coming to Papua New Guinea. It was not for mineral exploration, but for the support of Mr. Yang to find minerals.

Liu Zhaoming, who is in his forties, can get to a serious professor. It is not enough to have IQ alone. In China, emotional intelligence is not enough. It is difficult to become a full professor in his forties, but Liu Zhaoming did it, which is enough to show many problems.

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

After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Yang, it would be very difficult to survey the area you mentioned according to the usual surveying techniques. However, I am currently conducting a research project that focuses on the technology of surveying and mining in various complex terrains. Although this research has not been fully completed, I have gained some results in the past two years. In terms of the terrain here, if you cannot dig a vertical shaft survey well, you can dig a horizontal survey well. Although it is a bit difficult, the effect is the same. Mr. Yang, if you can invest more funds to survey the area in the area you are talking about, you can fully conduct industrial-grade surveying."

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

"As for large-scale mining, as long as there are minerals here, large-scale mining is not difficult. Even if you want to carry out open-pit mining, it is okay, but you need to find some geological experts to judge the geological conditions of the mountain. If it really doesn't work, please ask Mr. Guo to apply to the upper layer to use satellite remote sensing technology to conduct detailed surveying and mapping of this area. If satellite remote sensing mapping can be added, it will be better to determine whether the area has ore bodies."

After hearing Liu Zhaoming's words, Yang Jing felt very convinced. As for the addition of satellite remote sensing technology, it is not impossible, but it is not so easy to apply for that thing. Although China's resource satellites have launched several of them in recent years and the technology above is also extremely advanced, the satellites are all orbital. It is not known whether these resource satellites can be monitored here.

However, since Liu Zhaoming said so surely that he could survey and mine, everything would be fine.

As for whether there are precious metal mines here, no one knows, Yang Jing dares to be 100% sure. If the existence of the holy ring cannot be exposed, it would be OK to mine directly here. How could it be so difficult to use it?

Guo Xiaoxiang frowned and asked in a low voice: "Old Yang, if you want to build a mine from here, the surrounding environment and safety issues..."

Guo Xiaoxiang's worries are not redundant. First of all, this place is in an unmanned land. Of course, this kind of unmanned land is for normal modern people. As for the natives living here, they must not be counted. Secondly, this place is really a deep mountain forest in the absolute sense, and the conditions in all aspects are extremely harsh.

The various external conditions required to develop a deposit are relatively high. Not to mention anything else, at least a solid enough highway must lead to the outside world. Otherwise, how can these minerals be transported out? And how can those mining equipment be transported in?

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

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

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 thing. Just like the Porgela gold mine we saw in the morning, it was also a primitive jungle more than 30 years ago. No one dared to enter except a few indigenous people. But how is it now? It has developed into a very modern town, and even the main highway in Papua New Guinea has been built."

After a pause, Liu Zhaoming continued: "This time we can obtain the right to survey and mining. In fact, the most critical reason is that our country is willing to share these mineral resources with the Papua New Guinea government. Don't forget that once there is a mineral resource with sufficient development value here, 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, that is, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Besides, what is the point of mining in this environment? You haven't gone to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to see the minerals there. It's much more difficult to mine on the edge of the Ya River or in the depths of the plateau, but there are still many large mines being mined there. Mr. Guo, from a technical point of view, there is no problem in mining here."

Yang Jing took the flat plate in Liu Zhaoming's hand, and after operating it for a while, he said to Guo Xiaoxiang with it, "Xiaoxiang, in fact, the investment before mining, whether it is surveying or building roads and bridges, will all be included in the mining cost. Do you know how much the mining cost of the Porgela gold mine is? It is about 700 US dollars per ounce, and this price includes the cost of building a highway from Mount Hagen to Porgela. You must know that this highway is more than 180 kilometers long. If there are really minerals here, then the straight line distance from here to Kandipa to the south is only 40 kilometers. Even if the road is built, the length is probably not more than 70 kilometers."

Guo Xiaoxiang looked down at the tablet and sighed and said, "Brother, I'm not worried about the cost, I'm worried about the damn hunter leader..."

Yang Jing and Liu Zhaoming laughed when they heard this. Yang Jing said, "Brother, your concern is a bit redundant. If you can really find valuable precious metal minerals here, let alone the local indigenous people, even if Australians invade, there are probably people who will help the Papua New Guinea government fight against the invaders. We don't have to worry about the Papua New Guinea government at all. 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 interests, the indigenous people living here are not a problem."

Liu Zhaoming's words were heartbroken, but they directly pointed out the facts in blood. Even in Africa, such things are often staged, not to mention Papua New Guinea, which is even more remote than Africa. Exporting the indigenous people here is not a problem for the Papua New Guinea government.

Liu Zhaoming's words made Guo Xiaoxiang say nothing. In fact, he also knew these truths, but Guo Xiaoxiang's psychological shadow on the hunter head tribe was too large, so he kept thinking about this matter.

Yang Jing turned his head and looked at the direction of Porgela and asked Liu Zhaoming: "Teacher Liu, this area does not belong to Rio Tinto's mining and surveying area, right?"

Liu Zhaoming shook his head and said, "This needs to be checked back. It is difficult for outsiders to know how much mining rights and survey rights Rio Tinto has in this area. This must be checked at the Mining Department of Papua New Guinea. However, according to my estimate, since Rio Tinto has mined in Porgela, the survey rights and mining rights they have should not reach here. In terms of the direction of the Male Mountains, the area controlled by Rio Tinto should be long east-west and short north-south. It is more than 30 kilometers away from Porgela, and this should not belong to Rio Tinto."

As he said that, Liu Zhaoming took out the GPS positioner from his backpack, carefully recorded the specific coordinate points here, and then said: "No problem, I'll check it out after I go back."

Guo Xiaoxiang said on the side: "In fact, even if this place belongs to Rio Tinto, it is not impossible to buy it. The natural conditions in this area are too harsh, and Rio Tinto obviously did not find any mineral resources in this area. Otherwise Rio Tinto would have opened the mining equipment to this point. Therefore, even if this area belongs to Rio Tinto, we can let the Papua New Guild government lobby in the middle and then buy this area."

The transfer of exploration rights and mining rights of mineral resources is something that happens frequently in international mining. It is nothing more than the cost of the person who takes over it.

If precious metal ores with abundant reserves can be found here, the price is nothing.
