Shanxi discovered 50 tons of large porphyry gold deposit: how did it be discovered with a value of nearly 16 billion yuan?

May 20, 2020 news, a few days ago, the reporter learned from the Shanxi Provincial Geology and Mineral Science and Technology Review Center that a large gold mine was recently discovered in Yixingzhai Village, Shahe Town, Fanzhi County, and it was preliminarily determined that it contained more than 50 tons of gold metal. It accounts for more than half of the accumulated resources identified in Shanxi's history, twice the current holdings, and the potential economic value is nearly 16 billion yuan.

May 20, 2020 news, a few days ago, the reporter learned from the Shanxi Provincial Geology and Mineral Science and Technology Review Center that a large gold mine was recently discovered in Yixingzhai Village, Shahe Town, Fanzhi County, and it was preliminarily determined that it contained more than 50 tons of gold metal. It accounts for more than half of the accumulated resources identified in Shanxi's history, twice the current holdings, and the potential economic value is nearly 16 billion yuan.

According to the person in charge, as of the end of 2018, Shanxi has identified a total of 90.77 tons of gold metal in the rock gold mine, with a total of 38.33 tons. There are currently 31 gold mining areas identified and 23 mining mines, with an annual output of about 2 tons. The amount of gold metal in the rock gold mine was 1.69 tons.

The newly discovered large-scale gold deposit is a porphyry gold deposit. It is the first time that this type of gold deposit has been discovered in Shanxi in recent decades. It has important guiding significance for the geological prospecting of gold deposits in Shanxi Province and even the whole country. The discovery of the gold mine broke the traditional understanding of gold prospecting, and was realized through the application of new technology, which played a good exemplary role in the next step of geological prospecting.

According to experts, the evaluation of the project is the first large-scale gold mine report reviewed by our province since the implementation of the "opinions of the Ministry of Natural Resources on promoting the Reform of Mineral Resources Management (for trial implementation). With the further development and utilization of the project, it will produce considerable economic and social benefits, which will provide strong support for our province to promote the implementation of the "project is king" strategy and achieve high-quality transformation and development.

What is the impact of the new gold mine on Shanxi?

The discovery of this gold mine has caused a lot of controversy. Some people say that Shanxi has always been rich in gold. From Shanxi's ticket number Rishengchang to the massive mining of coal mines, to the discovery of this super-large gold mine, if Shanxi can effectively use these Resources, Shanxi must be the province where the national economy is ahead; others said, don't dig, Shanxi stepped on a pit, one day the earthquake, the ground collapsed, can Shanxi still exist? Some people also say that what's the use of Shanxi's resources? Not all of them have been given to others, and they have not seen development.

As a Shanxi native, after reading everyone's comments, my heart is really mixed. Shanxi has a lot of resources. From historical relics to resource land, we are not bad either, but we have sufficient resources. However, it is a pity that although our Shanxi Province has sufficient resources, there are very few available for us. After the reform and opening up, in order to support the development of the national economy, Shanxi has made great efforts to provide coal resources and electricity resources for other provinces. However, due to the failure of Shanxi's own development to break away from the traditional development model in time, and the backward thinking of Shanxi people, there are small coal mines everywhere, but there is no idea of sustainable development, as a result, Shanxi's economy has been trapped in shackles and has not been able to develop.

Now, gold mines have been discovered, which is indeed a considerable amount of development funds for Shanxi's weak economy. For example, in the Xiaohe Economic and Industrial Park in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, the lack of continuous input of foreign capital has led to slow development. If there are revitalized funds, Taiyuan may develop faster and better; and in terms of tourism resources in Shanxi, due to the lack of stable and sufficient sources of funds, the development of tourism routes is slow, and the protection and development of tourism resources are far from enough. If there is a stable and continuous capital injection, tourism may develop better. But on the other hand, the development of gold, whether it can be effectively used and the environmental protection of Shanxi is also one of the most important issues.

As discussed in everyone's comments, Shanxi's underground is already hollowed out, but still continue to dig gold, not afraid of earthquakes coming? In fact, this is really a big problem, Shanxi's environmental restoration and protection is still not strong enough, the mine will collapse after landfill, thus, Shanxi's environmental restoration and protection measures to what extent.

The discussion on the discovery of gold mines is in full swing, but no matter how much it is said, it is necessary to report to the state, which will study and decide the future use direction of gold mines according to the actual situation.
