The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

"...In the past two years, it is impossible to count how many people have been looking for diamond mines in the northern region of Canada. There have been 20 new diamond search companies in the Northwest region this year, and many of them are affiliates or affiliated companies of the Big Four."

De Beers, Rio Tinto, BHP, Billiton, there is no shortage of them.

Headquartered in South Africa, De Beers has the largest diamond business among these four companies-why can other companies be called "giants"?

Because they are comprehensive mining companies, the diamond business is only a small part of the company's business.

For example, Rio Tinto Group was established in Spain as early as 1873. Now its group headquarters is in the United Kingdom. In the past two decades, it has merged several influential mining companies around the world, mainly engaged in the development of metal mines.

Both BHP and Billiton are headquartered in Melbourne, and both oil and iron ore businesses come in. Zhang Nan also knows that these two companies will merge in more than ten years and become the world's largest mining group company!

In terms of the size of the company, Zhang Nan’s Star Group cannot be compared with the latter three mining giants, and even De Beers cannot be compared with the giant group of tens of thousands of people playing oil and metal mines.

"Did they find it?"

Hearing the boss’s question, Davis smiled and said: “Except for us, everyone else has not found any valuable diamond mines in Canada, including several big giants, and one loses more than one.

Now the price of wasteland land in the entire northern region has risen by 30%, and I estimate that some people will follow suit. "

Zhang Nan smiled, "There will always be people who follow the trend and want to make money, so let them find it slowly. If Canada is so big, it's not always lucky for someone to be lucky."

I just delineate the 30-year exploration results of others, but as said, Canada is big enough, let alone 30 years, there will be missing places in the 30-year survey, and it is not necessarily true that some people find new diamond mines.

Everything is possible. Even the survey team of my own company this year found a Kimberlite pipe group that Zhang Nan didn't know about 13o kilometers away from the land he bought in the extremely desolate Nunavut area.

The current process is quite accidental, because the seaplane malfunctioned and then made an emergency landing in a small lake area. While waiting for rescue, silly prospectors discovered Kimberlite at the edge of the small island waiting on the shore—the first rock tube was found, and more than half of this rock tube was still under water at a depth of two or three meters. .

The shallow water location doesn't matter. If you want to mine in the future, you can build a cofferdam.

The emergency landing became a good thing. After the repairmen and accessories of the rescue aircraft were delivered, they simply set up camps nearby and explored for a few weeks. Finally, 7 large and small drilled rock pipes were discovered.

Buy a site.

Trade secrets do not need to come out in the name of the Star Group, but one of several short-selling handbag companies that have long been registered, and they have bought nearly 100 square kilometers of land and mineral exploration and mining rights.

Well, northern Canada, there are uninhabited wastelands of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of square kilometers everywhere, and prospecting is really a matter of luck!

Obviously, God was very nice to Zhang Nan who had come over again.

...

After flying for an hour at midnight, the Gera Lake Mine appeared in front of us. The "Double Otter" landed directly on the ice, which is the most convenient way, without going to the already built airport.

It is very distinctive. I don’t know which designer came up with it. The roofs of almost all buildings in the mining area are painted purple.

From the sky, after last winter's overtime transportation and summer construction, the mine is already very large.

Convoys of transportation continued to arrive, and regardless of the severe cold, the mine was still in production, even under the extreme cold conditions of minus 4o at night.

Just in the air, Zhang Nan saw that the first huge diamond pit had been dug down by two large steps, and the diameter of the pit mouth was almost 1 km!

This is Mine No. 1, the one where Xiangzhang first appeared, and it is also the largest one exposed on the ground so far.

"The latest giant star rock tube in autumn is 5o meters away from the south of the island, with a diameter of 1.1 kilometers."

It was Xiang Zhangsheng who was talking, this guy is also a god, and he ran to Canada from Africa, and had to go to Australia in a few days.

He likes to run around, and Zhang Nan is also happy to have such an engineer who is not afraid of flying all over the earth.

As for the latest rock tube, it is an extra surprise: there are more than a dozen on the ground!

Zhang Nan said to Xiang Zhang: "How deep is the water?"

If you come to a water depth of 2o meters, you have to go through a tunnel, and you have to do waterproofing. Not to mention the high cost, it is also dangerous.

"It's okay, 3 to 5 meters, you can build a cofferdam, but the cost will be a bit higher than those on the 6th floor."

This group of people is in the conference room of the office building. The diesel-burning heater is very sufficient. Zhang Nan is not willing to drink northwest wind outside.

I am a southerner, although cold and dampness are more uncomfortable than coldness, but once the coldness crosses minus 35 degrees, this feeling is really not something ordinary people can bear!

After a casual meeting, we will inspect the entire mining area: 200 meters to the west of the pit is the beneficiation workshop, and the machine roars constantly. The office area is one hundred meters away to the south, and the residential area is next to the office area, and there is a grocery store next to it.

As for the oil depot is much farther, one kilometer away to the southwest-the purple roof Zhang Nan saw from the air is actually an indoor oil depot~www.readwn.com~ There are 6 giant oil tanks, just like an oil refinery. Kind.

Purple, it seems that the people who pipe fuel on American aircraft carriers wear purple vests?

Zhang Nan also met several Indians, representatives and technicians of the Manu Jain Jifang family here, and wanted to laugh when they saw them as cold as dogs.

When talking with Xiang Weirong, it was fine to tease the bearded Asan, "As soon as the Indian heat wave reaches 5o degrees, it will have to add seven or eight degrees under the sun. Here it is minus 40 degrees. It was opened, and they were lucky if they didn't freeze them into ice sculptures."

Of course, the Indians will not be there, and Davis is one of the core figures of his own interest group. Of course he has no problem hearing these words.

This time Davis said, "These Indians are fine in summer. When winter comes, they hide in dormitories or offices. They can freeze to death at any time! Last year there were more than a dozen in the mining area, even if they changed this year. Five of them came in a batch, probably all of them were frightened.

Moreover, these guys are really lazy and unreliable. "

Hearing this, Zhang Nan said: "Red head Asan is like this. It's best not to come. If it weren't for borrowing their channels to process and sell low-end products, I would not be interested in dealing with them.

But at least so far, the cooperation is happier and mutually beneficial. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan said to Xiang Weirong: "How about we go to India after New Year's Day, play for half a month, and go hunting tigers."

When the time comes, Brother Guan should also come back, go there for fun. "

Xiang Weirong had heard of tiger hunting and was also interested-this activity is not something ordinary people can enjoy.

Then go, near the Arctic Circle, decided to go to South Asia's second largest scourge of wildlife over there.
