Before 1900, many groups of Russians investigated the possibility of mineral resources in Mongolia. Only after 1925 did Outer Mongolia begin geological exploration in the true sense. After 1945, Mongolian and Soviet experts began extensive and systematic exploration work with the assistance of Western Europe and other countries, but progress was slow. In recent years, in order to attract foreign exploration teams and foreign capital to enter the mining market, Outer Mongolia has promulgated the Mineral Resources Law and the Foreign Investment Law, and formulated a series of preferential policies for foreign investment in mineral exploration and development. According to the above laws and relevant policies, foreign citizens and legal persons, like Outer Mongolian citizens, have the right to apply for and obtain mineral resource exploration and mining licenses. These preferential policies have greatly attracted domestic and foreign investment in Outer Mongolia. Some foreign-funded companies and joint ventures have come to Outer Mongolia for geological exploration. Now, in Outer Mongolia, the top eight countries with investment in mining mining are Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Russia, South Korea and China. Mongolia is rich in mineral resources, with more than 80 proven mineral deposits and more than 6,000 mineral sites. The total area of ??mineral resource exploration licenses issued by the Mongolian Mineral Resources Administration now accounts for 1/3 of Mongolia¡¯s land area. The team Han Peacock and the others encountered was a prospecting team from China, and it was a prospecting team jointly formed by government departments and private owners. "Are you exploring copper mines?" Han Kongque looked at some of the equipment on the car, but it didn't look like he was exploring copper mines. Han Peacock doesn¡¯t know other things, but Han Peacock knows the Geiger counter. This thing is used to test the level of radiation. Use this thing to explore copper mines? "Who are you kidding! They must have come here to look for uranium ore. I have long heard that domestic uranium ore resources are poor. Are you going to go abroad?" Huangshan muttered in a low voice. The golden demon on the side also said: "Didn't you say that North Korea also supports us? We should not be short of this!" "Lack of high purity, depleted uranium ore is not of much value, and it requires cumbersome procedures to enrich it." Mu Ling said. Han Peacock was smiling on the side. Even if this group of people came here to look for gold mines, it was better than looking for copper mines. How could such an obvious cover-up be concealed from others? Although the voices of Jin Yao and the others were small, people who wanted to come to the car also heard them. However, they did not react at all. It seemed that they were not afraid that others would know their purpose. "You need food and water?" Han Peacock looked at this group of people a little strangely. If it weren¡¯t for this, I¡¯m afraid this group of people wouldn¡¯t pay attention to Han Peacock and the others. When the two cars met, Han Kongque wanted to ask where this place was. Unexpectedly, the car stopped before he could ask. Unexpectedly, they all have their own purposes. These people must have stayed on this grassland for a long time. It seems that they want to continue to stay. Therefore, they do not want to go back to replenish supplies, so they can only buy supplies from the tourists they meet. . "Why don't you go to those mining areas?" Huangshan asked directly. One of the middle-aged men looked a bit gentle with glasses, but the beard on his face destroyed the softness of his face and made him look much rougher. "Those mining areas also need external supplies, so there is no extra supply for us." The middle-aged man said. "We have been here for more than eight months. If it doesn't snow, we won't leave, so" another middle-aged man said. Han Peacock glanced at the people in the car again. There were seven or eight people, only two young men, the others were middle-aged, and there was no woman inside. Thinking about it, eight months is a long time. It must be very inconvenient for a woman to stay in the team for such a long time. "I hope you can help me. I made the request after seeing that your supplies are very sufficient, otherwise we wouldn't make things difficult for you." Seeing that Han Kongque and the others were silent, the middle-aged man from before spoke again. "We are here to look for gold mines, and we want to wait until it snows before leaving." At this time, a hint of cunning flashed in Jin Yao's eyes. He did not deliberately embarrass these people, but wanted to get some information. "Uh! It's okay. If you are looking for gold mines, you can go south along this river. Someone once found gold sand by the river. If you can find the source, you will definitely find gold mines. Such a targeted search will not take too much time. "Yes." Someone in the car spoke again. It seemed that he was very familiar with this place and even knew where the gold mines were. "Really or not? If there is a gold mine, why don't you go look for it?" Mu Ling said doubtfully. ¡°We are a prospecting team sponsored by others with a very specific purpose.??, no extra time is wasted. "The middle-aged man said before. Han Peacock pointed to the name of a very popular domestic private company on the car and said: "Isn't it a private prospecting team? " "It is nominally a private enterprise. "A middle-aged man in the car said with a smile. Han Kongque was stunned. In name? Is he doing national affairs under the guise of a private enterprise? This makes sense, so Han Kongque immediately said: "Huangshan , and gave them all the supplies in our car. " "Boss, what shall we eat?" "Huangshan's old ways are difficult. "It's not necessary, right? Who knows if they are a liar? "The golden demon also said. "We don't need to lie. If you don't have supplies, you can go to those mines to buy some. But if we can't, they are not very friendly to us. "A middle-aged man pointed to a smelting plant not far away. "Young man, this river here is an unknown river. Do you know why it has no name? Because it often changes its course and sometimes disperses into small rivers and ditches, even if someone finds gold sand or even gold nuggets in the river, it is not easy to find the source of the gold sand. " "Yes, we didn't lie to you. Finding gold mines takes time. " "Haha, the gold reserves here are not small. I analyze that there must be a gold vein with huge reserves. However, it must be buried underground and it is not easy to find. " "Aren't you talking nonsense? Everything that is easy to find has been dug up. " "I have been here several times. It turns out that there are a lot of warriors here, and many of them have made a fortune, but no one has ever discovered the huge mineral veins. " "You can pull it down! Even if someone finds out, they won't say anything. Making a fortune in silence is not a patent of our countrymen. " "Would anyone else sell it if they found out? " "sold? As long as your identity is exposed, you will be dead, and there will definitely be no accidents, so just collect some secretly. This is a smart person. " "It would be great if we discovered it. Others don't have the strength, but we do. " "Even if we find out, it will be troublesome. Those barbarians are not friendly to us at all. " While transporting supplies, a few middle-aged people started chatting, and Han Peacock really heard some useful news from it. " It seems that there is indeed a gold mine, but where is it and whether it is possible to find it, then only God knows. Han Kongque did not continue to ask, because he knew that there was only so much information to ask. In fact, this information was enough. After all, Han Kongque did not come here specifically to find gold mines. Of course, he could get this information. It¡¯s an unexpected surprise. Many people in Outer Mongolia are not friendly to Chinese people, so it¡¯s really difficult to get information from them. Of course, there are also many friendly people. This is true everywhere, even in the United States. In this way, it took luck to find local people to help. After all the supplies were sent out, Han Peacock finally asked: "There are many mining areas in this area? " "Yes, the proven reserves of this area are about 1.3 million tons of uranium ore, about 2 billion tons of copper ore, about 3,100 tons of gold ore, about 2 billion tons of iron ore, about 7.55 million tons of zinc ore, and about 50 billion tons of coal. About 6 billion barrels of oil. "An old man said. Han Peacock was speechless. Is this referring to the reserves of the entire Outer Mongolia? "These resources are concentrated in this grassland and the mountainous area over there. Of course, there are also some in the distant forest. , but harder to find. "Another middle-aged man said. "By the way, these young men must be careful about the samurai wandering in the wilderness. When there are people around, they are samurai, and when no one sees them, they are robbers. "Before leaving, a kind-hearted middle-aged man reminded. "Also, I think you need a guide. If necessary, go to the coal mine over there. Although the owner of that coal mine is a white man, he still needs a guide. He is quite friendly to our people. " Watching the car leave, Huangshan asked strangely: "Samurai? There are also warriors in Outer Mongolia? " "Just some gold diggers. "Han Peacock explained. "In Outer Mongolia, people call private gold miners "warriors" because they always carry green pans used to screen gold in the Gobi Desert. In their view, anyone can mine national land. The wealth underneath. ¡°Perhaps we need a samurai as a guide, otherwise, where can we find gold mines on such a large grassland? "The golden demon said with a smile at this time. Naturally, the four of them are not afraid of the so-called samurai, but need samurai. After all, they are new here. If it is not about toIt's winter, and they don't mind wandering around here, so that they can explore and hunt for treasures while traveling. But now it's less than a month before the cold winter, and if they waste time anymore, there will be nothing to do. You must know that the winter here is very terrible. Sometimes the white snow can fall for more than half a month at a time, and even the cattle and sheep will freeze to death in pieces, not to mention the humans wandering in the wilderness. 38-year-old Usubayar was a full-time gold mining "warrior" two years ago. When he was lucky, he could earn $1,000 a day. But now, after the government banned private gold miners and cracked down hard, the number of "warriors" has dropped sharply, and Usubayar has also changed careers. (~^~)
