Chapter 104 The huge gold mine in the canyon (please subscribe!)

Of course, even if the detection range is now very large, it is only the initial detection range.

But this is obviously good news. Even the preliminary detection range is already one of the largest gold mines currently surveyed in Australia, and the scope of gold mine coverage is expected to continue to expand.

If the gold content of the gold mine is a qualified number, then this newly discovered gold mine can be called Australia's largest gold mine.

This gold mine may not be able to attract another wave of gold rush, attracting some immigrants and gold prospectors to Australia.

If it is used as a reserve gold for printing currency, this huge gold mine is fully qualified.

As Minister of Industry, Minister Pierre arrived in this area early and immediately began to explore the specific scope of the gold mining area.

However, this cannot be determined in a short time. The transportation of various large-scale detection equipment takes time, and the calculation of various data also takes time.

After seeing Prime Minister Arthur and Evan arriving, Minister Pierre came over with a face of joy and reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Prime Minister. According to the scope of our initial gold detection, the scope of this gold mine may directly cover It covers the entire canyon, or even larger. This also means that the area of ​​​​this gold mine will be the largest in Australia, and the gold reserves should also be gratifying."

"What is the current purity of the gold mine? Can it meet our expectations?" Prime Minister Evan asked impatiently.

Like the reserves of gold mines, the purity of gold mines is also one of the factors that determine the total value of gold mines.

If the purity of the gold mine is very low, even if it is a particularly huge gold mine, it may not be as valuable as a medium-sized gold mine of ordinary purity.

In addition to the extent and reserves of gold mines, the purity of gold mines is a topic of concern to everyone.

"Currently, we have selected many places within the existing gold mine for testing, and the gold content obtained is about five to six grams per ton. Although this is only a preliminary test result, I believe that the gold content of this gold mine is The minimum gold content will not be less than four grams per ton." Minister Pierre happily reported.

This is good news for Australia. Most of the remaining gold mines in Australia are small gold mines with only about two or three grams of gold.

If we can add a gold mine with huge mineral reserves and qualified gold content, it will be good news for the Australian private sector and the government.

"Well done, Prime Minister Evan and Minister Pierre. The progress of exploring the scope of the gold mine should be accelerated, the scope of the entire gold mine should be established as soon as possible, and the reclamation of new gold mines should be organized." Arthur smiled and nodded. , ordered.

Now that there is a large-scale gold mine with qualified gold content, the first thing must be to ascertain the reserves and scope of the gold mine, and to develop and excavate it as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Minister Pierre nodded quickly, then thought of something, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, what about those gold diggers?"

Many people in Australia's population joined as gold diggers, and they accounted for a significant portion of the population.

Although most of the gold diggers have changed their identities and become ordinary civilians as Australia's gold mines have been mined, a considerable number of people continue to wander in Australia as gold diggers.

Once they hear the news that a large gold mine has been rediscovered in Australia, these people will definitely flock to the mountains, forests and streams near the gold mine to rejoin the gold mining work.

These people have both advantages and disadvantages to gold mining. It was precisely because of this that Minister Pierre was unsure about their policies, so he could only boldly ask Arthur tentatively.

Arthur naturally understood what Minister Pierre meant. With the crazy influx of these gold diggers, although it can increase Australia's immigration attractiveness, it will also cause certain chaos in the gold mining areas.

Even with the addition of too many gold diggers, a certain amount of gold will be divided up by these people.

This also harmed the country's interests in disguised form, and is also the reason why many countries in later generations banned gold diggers.

"Let those gold diggers go! As long as they don't enter our core gold mining area, let them go to some of the peripheral places with alluvial gold." Arthur said with a smile: "It is very troublesome to mine those alluvial gold. Compared with It is only a small fraction of our main gold mines. If we can use these gold diggers to attract a large number of immigrants, it will also be a good choice."

Arthur's purpose is simple, as long as he ensures that these gold diggers will not harm the interests of the government and the royal family when the government and the royal family take the lead.

Then it doesn't matter if these gold diggers exist on the periphery of the gold mine. These gold diggers also know the pros and cons, and what they pursue more is the alluvial gold scattered in the mountains, forests and streams.

Although this kind of alluvial gold is genuine gold, because the content is too small and it is very troublesome to mine, it is not worth the gain for large-scale mining operations organized by the government.

It is better to give the interests of these small heads to these gold diggers, which will not only allow these gold diggers to drink soup, but also start a small wave of gold rush and contribute to Australia's immigration cause.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand." Minister Pierre nodded.

As long as he can quickly determine the scope of the gold mine, control the distribution range of the gold mine, establish a gold mining area, and organize manpower to mine, Minister Pierre will have completed Arthur's mission.

The mountains and creeks covered with sandy gold outside the gold mining area are left to the gold prospectors to explore.

After a brief inspection in the gold mining area, Arthur returned to the manor.

The next detection work will take some time, and these tasks will naturally be left to specialized personnel.

Arthur only needs to wait for the final results and make arrangements based on the clearly detected gold reserves and gold content.

But after all, it is the most important gold mine in Australia, and the government and the royal family still attach great importance to it.

The government dispatched a police force of hundreds of people to patrol the gold mining area, and Arthur also mobilized an army to train nearby.

In fact, judging from the current security situation in Australia, just these 100 police officers can already ensure the safety of the gold mining area.

In a peaceful society with enough food and clothing, the vast majority of people are still willing to be law-abiding and good citizens.

Even if there are still some dangerous elements, it will definitely not become a big problem, let alone break through the patrol of a hundred policemen and enter the gold mining area.

Of course, this is only a short-term deployment. After the gold mine is officially mined, both the large number of indigenous workers and the soldiers guarding the workers will form a stronger line of defense.
