What minerals are there in Boca, Dongchuan, Yunnan?

Recently, more than 50 tons of/kloc-0 gold mine was discovered between Tuobuka Township and Boka Township in Dongchuan.

What can the golden age bring to Dongchuan?

Some people divide the history of Dongchuan into two eras, one is the copper mine era and the other is the gold mine era. The time limit is that Jinshan Company settled in Boca Gold Mine in 2002. Some people joked that in the copper mine era, Dongchuan people were willing to make sacrifices, largely because of the support of spiritual strength, and mining refined copper was to support national economic construction and national defense construction. However, after entering the gold mine era, since the biggest beneficiary is foreign capital, will Dongchuan people still have this persistence?

On one occasion, Dongchuan leaders made a rather tragic remark at the conference: If Boka Gold Mine is well developed, we can become Dongchuan's eternal heroes, or we may be eternal sinners.

At present, it is not clear what benefits Boca Gold Mine can bring to Dongchuan. One voice thinks that Dongchuan district should take out a certain share of gold mining, and one share should be used for Dongchuan construction, debris flow control and environmental protection; One piece is used for people's livelihood, including the livelihood guarantee and development of landless farmers in Tuobuka Town.

However, Liu Yikang believes that this form of government shareholding is the most taboo thing in the international mining industry at present and should never be done.

Liu Yikang told Outlook Oriental Weekly, "After the gold mine enters the mining stage, it will mainly stimulate local development from three aspects. The first is to provide employment; Second, mining will stimulate the related economy, such as opening hotels, traffic, local infrastructure construction, electricity and roads will be improved; The third is some charitable activities of gold mines to society. As for local governments, it is mainly reflected by taxes and fees. Gold mining has to pay a lot of taxes and fees, and national and local finances will benefit. "

Jinshan company said that in the exploration stage, the company brought many benefits to the local area. Zhang Hui told Outlook Oriental Weekly, "Before our company came in, there were so many motorcycles and tractors in the area." The company said that it has considered the long-term construction of the Macao card, such as funding the local construction of farms and agricultural products processing bases. In addition, after entering the formal exploration stage, the gold mine will create thousands of employment opportunities. If the annual gold output is 10 ton, it will contribute 300 million yuan in taxes and fees every year.

The people in Tuobuka, Dongchuan are more realistic, and they don't even care about the gold reserves at their doorstep. Lu Xingzhi is a villager in Mocaowan, Tuobuka Town. He lives alone with his daughter Lu, who is in the fourth grade. He lives in a bungalow with a total cost of less than 10 thousand and an area of less than 30 square meters. His wife died when the child was 3 years old. The father and daughter live on 4 acres of cornfields, and the annual family income is 654.38+10,000 yuan.

Lu Xingzhi, who has never been out of the mountains in his life, has never been to Dongchuan City in recent years because he has nothing to do and no money. He doesn't seem to care about the "grand blueprint" planned by Jinshan Company for Tuobuka Town. But like the local villagers, he also expects the world-class gold mine at his doorstep to bring something to his incomplete home.

He hopes that one day, he can find a job in the mine, like others, one day 15 yuan, and then take his daughter out of the mountains to see the bustling world outside.

Is China Gold Mine a New Paradise for Adventurers?

Oriental Weekly reporter Zhu Kunming and Shanghai report.

The threshold for gold exploration and mining in China is very low for Canadian and other companies, but do these countries treat China enterprises equally? If China mining enterprises are in conflict with the local government and local people in Canada like Jinshan Company, can they still feel at home in Canada?

"The prospect of gold exploration in Yunnan Province is very broad, and there must be several big guys hiding. As long as the degree of exploration is sufficient, Yunnan can find several world-class gold mines! " When talking about the future gold reserves in Yunnan Province, Wang, deputy director of the Heavy Industry Department of Yunnan Economic Commission, was quite calm. The Heavy Industry Department of Yunnan Economic Commission, where Wang is located, is the lead unit in compiling the Eleventh Five-Year Plan of Yunnan Gold Industry. According to the planning, Yunnan Province has more than 300 tons of gold resources, which does not include the Boca gold mine in Dongchuan, which is in the exploration stage. Three super-large gold deposits and two large gold deposits have been proved. Among the mines that have been explored and developed, the estimated reserves of two gold mines exceed 65,438+000 tons, reaching a world-class scale.

"On which day, the proven gold reserves in Yunnan Province exceeded 1 1,000 tons. It is not surprising that the geological and structural conditions in Yunnan Province are very suitable for the formation of metal deposits including gold deposits. " Wang told Outlook Oriental Weekly.

In fact, it is not only official Rainbow Guo Yi who is optimistic about Yunnan's gold resources. According to relevant data, since 200 1, dozens of foreign mining companies have settled in Yunnan, involving more than 70 projects, a considerable part of which are for gold exploration. Southwest Resources Company, which discovered a world-class gold mine in Boca, Dongchuan, is just one of them.

In fact, this gold rush is not limited to Yunnan. 2 1 century, with the rising price of non-ferrous metals such as gold, a large number of foreign mining companies entered China. According to Liu Yikang, executive vice president of Geological Exploration Branch of China Mining Association, in July 2003, there were 2 1 listed mining companies with exploration and development activities in China. By the third quarter of 2004, this number had increased to 29. Now, if non-listed companies are included, about 70 primary mining companies have entered China for exploration, and quite a few of them are related to gold exploration.

In addition to Boca gold mine in Dongchuan, there are foreign capitals such as Maoling gold mine in Liaoning, Luxi gold mine in Yunnan, Lannigou gold mine in Guizhou, Tanjianshan gold mine in Qinghai and 2 17 gold mine in Inner Mongolia.

In Canada and Australia, junior mining companies engaged in risk exploration are usually called "adventurers" because although they may be funded, their exploration prospects are not clear. In this way, China's gold mines are increasingly becoming a new paradise for adventurers.

Card seeding effect

The amazing achievements made by Canadian Southwest Resources Company in Boca Gold Mine in Yunnan Province have almost become a standard example for international primary mining companies to take risks in China.

On June 3rd, 2002, 65438+February 3rd, Southwest Resources announced that an amazing high-grade gold mine had been discovered in China Boka Gold Mine Project, and the share price of Southwest Resources soared that day.

On May 8, 2003, Southwest Resources Company announced a batch of drilling results. Due to the big gap between drilling and information disclosure on February 3, 2002, the share price of Southwest Resources Company fell sharply. It dropped sharply from 14.00 Canadian dollars/share on May 7th to 8.83 Canadian dollars/share, down 36.9% in one day.

On July 3rd, 2003, Boka Gold Mine in Yunnan announced the latest drilling results. On the day of stimulation, the share price of Southwest Resources Company rose sharply. From 8.70 Canadian dollars/share on July 3, it rose to 1 1.20 Canadian dollars/share on July 4, with an increase of 28.74%.

The performance of Southwest Resources Company has influenced other listed mining companies with China concept. On July 3, 2003, after the good news of Boka Gold Mine in Yunnan was announced, the stocks of listed primary mineral exploration companies with activities in China were all red and bullish, and some companies even rose by 20%.

It is worth noting that the driving effect of Boca Gold Mine is not only in the stock market. After the success of Boka Gold Mine, the exploration right registration was also completed around the strata distribution areas of Kunyang Group and Huili Group of Boka Gold Mine. Many of them are foreign companies.

Adventurers seem to particularly like Yunnan. In addition to the card broadcast effect, they are also very satisfied with the investment environment in Yunnan Province. Some people call Yunnan Province an "outlier area" for risk exploration.

As early as 1993, the Yunnan provincial government issued the Provisions on Encouraging Foreign Investment in Exploration and Exploitation of Mineral Resources in Yunnan Province, and 1999 issued the Provisions on Foreign Investment in Exploration and Exploitation of Mineral Resources in Yunnan Province. Both are the first in China. After the promulgation of the "Regulations", the Ministry of Land and Resources identified Yunnan Province as the first "foreign-invested pilot province for exploration and exploitation of mineral resources" in China, and directly granted the corresponding examination and approval authority to the provincial department in charge of geology and mineral resources.

In addition to mining companies, even foreign independent prospectors have targeted Yunnan, a hot spot. According to media reports, in addition to large-scale specialized exploration companies, there are also a number of individual gold prospectors hidden among the gold prospectors in China. In Canada, they are generally called independent exploration geologists or independent prospectors. They are the "predecessors" or "online" of various primary mining enterprises.

According to media reports, there are a large number of individual prospectors in Wenshan Prefecture on the border between Yunnan and Vietnam, most of whom are from Alberta, Canada. Besides them, you can also see people from various gold-rich countries in the world, such as Australians, South Africans and Indonesians. They usually work in groups of two or three and make holes with heavy iron piles. If they hit a certain depth and find that the gold content is high, they will connect the adjacent underground holes and dig out buckets of soil at the bottom of the hole.

According to our reporter's understanding, since the qualification certification and prospecting system of independent prospectors has not been established in China, if these foreign prospectors do exist, they are legally in a gray area, between gold miners and primary prospecting companies.
