Chapter 300 Diamonds Discovered at Mount Kumgang
"Tong, the rutile reserves in Mount Kumgang exceed 1 tons, and are estimated to be around 2 tons."
The Handong Geological Team, during their previous exploration, was too busy with their tasks and didn't conduct thorough surveys, even overlooking the placer deposits that often form after rock weathering.
"That's what Shi Long said."
Placer deposits are still minerals, and they have high value.
"Not bad, it's a bit higher than we expected."
Any other discoveries?
Tong Xinghui was very happy.
An increase of 2 tons in rutile reserves could increase production by 10%.
“Mount Kumgang also has a lot of quartz and pegmatite. Rutile is mainly produced in rutile-bearing quartz veins and pegmatite veins in metamorphic rock systems.”
In other words, when we mine rutile, we also produce a lot of vein quartz and pegmatite.
Vein quartz can be used to make glass, and it can also be used in the electronics industry, casting, ceramics, metallurgy, construction, chemical industry, optical communication, abrasives, jewelry, medicine and other fields.
Pegmatite can provide industrial materials such as piezoelectric quartz and mica, and raw materials such as quartz, feldspar, and clay for the ceramics and glass industries.
"That's what Shi Long said."
"So, when we mine rutile from Mt. Kumgang, we'll also find a significant amount of vein quartz and pegmatite?"
Tong Xinghui asked.
According to Shi Long, it's equivalent to mining one mine and obtaining three types of minerals.
"Yes, Master Tong!"
Moreover, we also discovered diamonds in Mount Kumgang.
Diamonds have a wide range of uses, including in making grinding tools, cutting tools, sawing tools, and drilling tools.
I suggested that the group acquire the entire Mount Kumgang.
"That's what Shi Long said."
Once they acquire the entire Kumgangsan Mountain, all the mines there will belong to the group.
Have the reserves of diamonds been determined? How much are there?
Tong Xinghui asked.
If the diamond reserves are decent, the group will obtain even more minerals by developing the rutile deposits in Mount Kumgang.
"Not yet, I plan to survey the diamond reserves in a few days."
"That's what Shi Long said."
Their main task this time is to determine the reserves of rutile in preparation for mining it. It is definitely the primary task to confirm the reserves of rutile.
“Okay, take a two-day break. You guys continue the exploration. I’ll report to the group and then confirm the cooperation with Jinshan County.”
Tong Xinghui said.
The most important thing is to get the rutile from Mount Kumgang first.
The next day, Tong Xinghui went back to Beijing to report.
"Sir, I heard from Captain Shi's men that they discovered diamonds in Mount Kumgang!"
Wen Xuehui came in to report the latest news to Qi Tongwei.
These past few days, Qi Tongwei has had him accompany the exploration team from the State Mining Group and serve them.
"Does Mount Kumgang have diamonds?"
Qi Tongwei was shocked.
How come he didn't know there were diamonds in Mount Kumgang? How come the provincial geological team didn't discover them during their exploration?
Diamonds are also very valuable and have a wide range of applications.
Most importantly, diamonds can be made from diamonds.
This stuff is very profitable; a carat can cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars.
Qi Tongwei always thought that Mount Kumgang was named so because it contained rutile.
Unexpectedly, Mount Kumgang is named so because it contains diamonds.
"Yes, Director Tong went back to Beijing specifically to report on this matter."
I estimate that the cooperation agreement between our county and the State Mining Group will be finalized very soon!
Wenxue Hui said.
Previously, when there was only rutile, the State Mining Corporation was willing to invest in mining it. Now that diamonds have been added, the State Mining Corporation will certainly not let this opportunity pass.
This is something that all 600,000 people in the county are looking forward to.
To confirm the presence of diamonds at Mount Kumgang, Qi Tongwei made a special trip there.
"Vice County Head Qi, what brings you here?"
On Mount Kumgang, Shi Long was very curious about Qi Tongwei's arrival.
Qi Tongwei is so busy, how could he possibly have time to visit Mount Kumgang?
The cooperation between the group and Jinshan County has not yet been finalized. Is Qi Tongwei being too hasty?
"Captain Shi, I'm here on behalf of the Jinshan County Party Committee and County Government to see you all!"
Your work will determine whether Jinshan County's hidden treasures can be turned into money, whether the lives of Jinshan County's 600,000 residents can be improved, and whether Jinshan County can develop rapidly!
Qi Tongwei said.
Can he not be anxious?
Li Dakang will be back in a little over a month.
If we can't sell one or two of the four large mines and build high-standard highways before Li Dakang returns...
At that point, selling mines and building roads will have little to do with him anymore.
To achieve political success, Li Dakang will definitely take charge of selling mines and building high-standard highways himself.
"Deputy Secretary Qi, we dare not take on such a heavy responsibility."
"Ichiryu said."
Whether or not to cooperate with Jinshan County is a decision made by the group's leadership, and has nothing to do with him, a mere exploration team leader.
"Captain Shi, I heard you've discovered diamonds. How much are they?"
Qi Tongwei asked.
He came to Mount Kumgang today to see the diamonds and find out about its reserves.
"Yes, Deputy Secretary Qi! We are still exploring the reserves!"
Shi Long nodded.
Qi Tongwei would find out sooner or later; there was nothing to hide.
"Why didn't the provincial geological team discover this during their previous exploration?"
Qi Tongwei asked.
The technical level of the Handong Provincial Geological Team is not bad either; how come they didn't detect it last time?
"They may not have explored thoroughly and overlooked some areas."
We searched around for ages before we finally found it!
"That's what Shi Long said."
He couldn't do anything that would slander his colleagues; he had heard that the Handong Provincial Geological Team was going to explore the entire Jinshan County.
Unlike them, who were only there to confirm the reserves of rutile, they stumbled upon diamonds.
"Then I'll trouble everyone to investigate carefully!"
Qi Tongwei said.
If the diamond reserves are good, then his plan can be realized just by relying on the minerals of Mount Kumgang.
A few days later, Tong Xinghui returned and confirmed that the National Mining Group would be mining rutile from Mount Kumgang.
"Secretary Yi, Deputy Secretary Qi, our group wants to contract the entire Jingang Mountain and also needs a large piece of land to build a smelting plant!"
Jinshan County needs to solve problems related to transportation, electricity, and water supply...
In the Easy Learning Office, Tong Xinghui made his request.
"Director Tong, we can agree to anything except the transportation issue!"
Yi Xuexi said.
He was very happy that the State Mining Group was going to invest in Jinshan County and mine rutile from Mount Kumgang.
This means that Jinshan County has truly taken a significant step forward in its development.
"You must solve the traffic problem!"
Tong Xinghui refused to back down, arguing that road construction was no easy task, especially since they were outsiders.
Many problems are not as easy to handle as those in Jinshan County.
"Director Tong, we can only provide basic industrial electricity."
If a large amount of electricity is required, we cannot provide it.
Of course, we will offer your group preferential treatment in other areas!
For example, lowering the contract price or increasing the contract term.
This is beneficial to both of us.
Regarding transportation, we plan to build a secondary highway from Mount Kumgang to the city.
Moreover, diamonds were discovered at Mount Kumgang, significantly increasing its value.
Qi Tongwei added.
Qi Tongwei originally intended to build a first-class highway connecting the county town to the city.
However, at present, only the National Mining Corporation has been found to mine rutile in Mount Kumgang, so it is not possible to build a first-class highway for the time being.
To be honest, secondary roads are sufficient.
Development must be done steadily and surely; we cannot achieve success overnight.
Besides transportation, there's also electricity.
Smelters consume a lot of electricity, and many smelters build their own power plants.
