China's Ministry of Natural Resources announced a major breakthrough in mineral exploration on November 14, when it successfully identified Dadonggou - the first super-large, low-containing single gold mine with a reserves of thousands of tons of metal gold in Liuzhou, Liuzhou Province, northeastern China.
Dadonggou mine contains about 2.586 billion tons of gold ore, equivalent to a total gold reserve of 1,444.49 tons and an average content of 0.56 grams per ton of ore.
This is the largest single gold mine discovered in China since 1949, according to China Media Group (CMG).
China Media Group pointed out that Dadonggou is a super-large open-pit gold mine with a new low ore content discovered in China. The mine has passed the economic feasibility assessment for exploitation and use, with a positive efficiency outlook.
During the exploration process, nearly 1,000 employees coordinated to conduct the exploration, shortening the exploration time to 15 months, creating a premise in China for a "short-term, high-quality" gold mine exploration model.
Meanwhile, Xinhua News Agency, citing information from China's Ministry of Natural Resources, emphasized that the Dadonggou mine is a historic discovery that will significantly strengthen China's strategic gold reserves and could lead to a world-class gold production facility, supporting a comprehensive recovery and high-quality development of northeastern China.
