A super-large gold deposit with estimated reserves of more than 1,000 tons has been found in central China’s Hunan Province, the Geological Bureau of Hunan Province said on Thursday.
Geologists have detected more than 40 gold veins, with a reserve of 300 tons of gold, at a depth of 2,000 meters beneath the Wangu gold field in Pingjiang district, according to the department.
“Many rock cores drilled showed visible gold,” said Chen Rulin, an ore prospecting expert at the agency, adding that a ton of ore in the 2,000-meter range contained a maximum of 138 grams of gold.
Liu Yongjun, deputy head of the agency, said new mineral prospecting technologies such as 3D geological modeling were used in the Wangu gold field. Gold was also found during drilling in the site’s outlying areas, revealing promising prospects, Liu said.
