Cao Mo could only let Shen Ji continue to do the work of his uncle and Dong Chengpeng.

Although Dongsheng's current funds are all tilted towards real estate projects, as long as New Steel Union can take over the Catero Steel Plant, Cao Mo believes that Ding Zhaoqiang and Dong Chengpeng will not mind investing in the Gulf of Guinea Mining Industry, which holds the Catero steel stone supply agreement; It can even be said that Cao Mo really wanted Ding Zhaoqiang to say a few words to them in the New Steel Alliance, and the Gulf of Guinea Mining Industry would have to open its investment window to Dongsheng.

These two aspects are actually mutually exclusive.

"Okay, I'll try to hook up with various parties first." Shen Ji agreed, waved his hand, started the Porsche and drove away...

Back at Dongsheng Building, Cao Mo sat in Song Yuqing's office. Just as he was about to call Xu Bin over to tell him about Tianyue Trading's equity, Kabuga interrupted his rhythm with an urgent call.

"We have signed an exploration cooperation agreement with the Akwa National Petroleum and Mining Group on the Drake Gold Mine. In the past few days, we are bringing people into the site to start exploration work. In the afternoon, a miner came to me and claimed that he had been The engineers at the mine have a piece of material that they want to hand over to us. I just scanned and uploaded this material to your email, do you have time to take a look at it now..."

Cao Mo turned on his mobile phone, checked his mailbox, and listened to Kabuga's concise explanation of the cause of the matter.

Things are not complicated.

It is no secret that there are gold mines underground in the Drake area of ​​Akwa. As early as the late 1980s, the British Strew Gold Exploration and Mining Company cooperated with the Ministry of Industry and Mines of Akwa at the time. Gold mineral exploration work is carried out in the Lake area.

Strew Gold Company drilled many exploration wells in the Drake area and confirmed that there is placer gold and a small amount of copper ore underground. However, the ore rock formation is too deep, the gold ore grade is not high, and the comprehensive mining cost is too high. There has been no Carry out actual mining work.

After the Saiwei authorities came to power through a coup, they nationalized all mineral resources such as gold, oil, coal and iron, and expelled foreign companies. Stru Gold Company also had no nostalgia and gave up the exploration and mining of the Drake Gold Mine. Right, exit Akwa.

Akwa National Mining Group once tried to develop the Deguk gold mine, but ultimately gave up because of the high cost and limited technology and capital strength.

This is Akwa's open secret.

The reason why Cao Mo set his main target on the Drake gold mine from the beginning was that the cost of mining deep underground placer gold in the Drake area was high. Calculated at the current international price, it is almost necessary to increase the comprehensive mining rate to more than 90%. Only in this way can they guarantee a certain level of profit, which excludes most of the powerful competitors. Only then can they successfully sign a cooperative exploration agreement with the Akwa authorities, without any complications.

The material passed from Kabuga in Akwa pointed out that the value of the gold exploration discovered by Stru Gold Company in Drake was not high, mainly because the early exploration was placed in an area that was generally believed to be easier to form minerals. Folded hilly area. Later, Stru's technicians discovered that the plain area in the Drake area was formed by the sedimentation of an ancient river that had long since changed its course, and the porphyry layer beneath it was also very prone to mineralization.

Before Sevi launched his coup, Stru Gold Company followed a new idea and dug two new exploration wells in the Drake Plain area. Finally, high-grade copper and gold deposits were discovered 100 meters underground.

possible.

However, the Saiwei authorities subsequently launched a coup, and the political situation in Akwa was in chaos. The latest exploration discoveries had no chance to be made public. Stru Gold Company was expelled from Akwa, so the sampling records of the last two exploration wells became

A dusty secret.

"The rich ore zone is 20 meters thick, with a copper grade of 4.69% and a gold grade of 4.52 grams per ton; the average copper grade in the non-rich ore zone reaches 1.5% and gold of 1.7 grams per ton..."

The material contains data on ore samples collected from two exploration wells at that time.

Perhaps the information that could be confirmed by the two exploration wells was still too little. The exploration depth at that time was also extremely limited. The two exploration wells were less than 200 meters deep, so it was impossible to confirm the extent of the underground copper and gold reserves.

However, the miner Amududi who found Kabuja at this time, as a descendant of British colonists, was a senior geological engineer of Stru Gold Company in his early years, and personally presided over the operation of these two exploration wells.

After the Sewi authorities launched a coup and the Stru Gold Company withdrew from Akwa, Almoududi was abandoned and failed to immigrate to the UK for asylum. He spent several years in prison in Perme and then returned to Draketown.

He made a living as a mining worker, but he did not give up his geological research on the Deguk copper-gold mine and the entire Deguk area.

Almoududi's research believes that the entire porphyry layer southwest of the Drake has been mineralized. This is fundamentally different from the research conducted when Stru Gold Company withdrew from Akwa. At that time, it was still inclined to believe that the Drake porphyry layer

Only a small area of ​​mineralization occurs in the contact area, which will lead to a deviation of ten or even dozens of times in the judgment of the Drake underground copper and gold reserves.

"So, it is very possible that there is a super copper and gold mine under the Deleigu underground?" Song Yuqing was slightly short-sighted. She leaned over to look at the open email on the computer screen. She was so shocked that her plump chest pressed against Cao Mo's.

There was no intentional move on the shoulders.

Song Yuqing is responsible for the domestic cooperation between Cornero Cement Plant, Felician Gold Mining Company, including technology introduction, equipment procurement, and personnel training and hiring. She knows very well about this dusty material and Amu

What does Dudi's follow-up research mean?

Of course, Cao Mo also knew very well that if Amududi's research direction in the following ten years was correct, the meaning of the Drake copper and gold mine was copper ore with extremely rich reserves, and gold was an accompanying product.

Cao Mo thought he was calm enough, but at this moment he couldn't help but want to buy a plane ticket directly, fly back to Akwa, and interview Almoududi in person.

Of course, he knew that there was little point in rushing back to Akwa.

Almoududi's research is only theoretical. In the past few years, he has not been able to conduct exploration and verification of his theoretical research. What Kabuja has to do now is to adjust the direction of the exploration work that has already been carried out. Chapter 1

The first is to find the old wells dug by Stru Gold Company and verify the old materials. Then, based on Almoududi's theoretical research, confirm the scope of the Drake porphyry layer and select new areas to dig.

Exploration wells are sampled.

In order to ensure that Drake's exploration work can produce results as soon as possible, Cao Mo asked Kabuga to second the exploration teams and equipment from the two mining areas of Oguta and Ibogu to Drake, and allocated another 10 million US dollars to Kabuga.
