Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

After completing the trial production of the helium field, the bosses from the consulate and the Ministry of Energy gradually left. When leaving, they also encouraged Wang Lu:

"Mr. Wang, Africa is a great place. I hope you can continue to contribute to our energy industry!"

Wang Lu could only respond with confusion.

How can energy be so easy to discover... My luck doesn't seem to be that good yet.

But soon, Wang Lu was slapped in the face by himself.

The trial production operation of the helium field is in full swing, and news came from the guano phosphate mine.

Several technicians in charge of the survey came to Wang Lu with the preliminary survey results and made a report.

Wang Lu also took his time to look at these somewhat embarrassed technicians. He thought that the geological survey results under the guano phosphate mine were not satisfactory. Several technicians were worried about being criticized, so they also spoke to console them:

"You have worked hard these days, what is the result? It doesn't matter even if no substantial geological resources have been discovered..."

Even though the iron ore component was detected in the soil and rocks under the guano phosphate mine, Wang Lu had planned to make a futile effort from the beginning, so he didn't have much hope at all.

But it is obvious that his guess is somewhat different from the facts.

After several technicians sorted out their thoughts, the leading technical person in charge said:

"Mr. Wang, this time we used new equipment to test the soil under the guano phosphate mine, and we have preliminary results."

The technical person in charge was obviously the type who was not good at words, so he paused only half of what he said, and then organized his words again:

"At present, the composition of the iron ore has been determined, and the content is not low. It is basically certain that there should be an iron ore under the guano phosphate rock, but the specific reserves are not yet clear. , further exploration and measurements are required."

Wang Lu was also a little surprised when he heard this.

Is there really iron ore?

Listening to the words of these technicians, it seems that the survey result is a poor iron ore at best?

This was indeed somewhat beyond Wang Lu's expectations, but Wang Lu still didn't take it too seriously.

It's just a poor iron mine. As long as the reserves weren't so huge, it wouldn't make much of a splash in Wang Lu.

To be honest, even if it was finally confirmed that there was a poor iron mine under the guano phosphate mine, Wang Lu didn't even think about mining it.

If the reserves are not large, the mining of iron ore will have a substantial impact on the surrounding ecological environment. And for Wang Lu, even if this iron ore is mined, how much profit can he make.

Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions?

Wang Lu didn't take it seriously at all, not to mention that the gains came at the expense of the ecological environment in his own territory. Without a good enough ecological environment, the ranch's appeal to the outside world would be greatly reduced.

No doubt tourism on the ranch will also take a hit.

In terms of going in and out, an iron mine is really not enough for Wang Lu's attraction.

Of course, with these preliminary exploration results, it is at least possible to continue the exploration work.

Wang Lu would not be stingy with such a small amount of financial and material resources. As a result, the exploration engineering team immediately returned to the intense exploration work, while Wang Lu continued to be busy with the ranch's tourism industry.

Those fishing guys are so good at fishing that they have to quickly add a batch of vitality energy to the fish food in the hotel. The fishermen use fish food mixed with vitality energy to catch those Nile barramundi, which causes them to become The guy who grows quickly gets fatter and fatter...

While Wang Lu was busy providing fish food mixed with vitality energy to the fisherman, the prospectors who had found Wang Lu before stood in front of Wang Lu again.

This time they brought Wang Lu an unexpected news.

"Mr. Wang, after our further exploration, we found that the iron content of the iron ore in the soil and rocks under the guano phosphate mine is only about 30%!"

When Wang Lu heard this, he nodded indifferently. This level was already an absolutely poor iron mine, and even among the poor iron mines, it was more crotch-stretching.

Naturally, the idea of ​​developing it was even more extinguished.

"And the entire iron ore reserves are probably not very ideal!"

There is no doubt that it is expected...but if there are no surprises, there will be surprises.

"But when we were conducting testing, we unexpectedly made some other discoveries in the soil. A large number of minerals and trace elements were detected under the guano phosphate mine and in the surrounding bottom soil. However, due to the equipment , we are not yet able to classify them one by one in detail, but we are sure that iron is only one of them, and it is only the cheapest mineral among them!”

Hearing this, Wang Lu was a little confused...

What does this mean?

According to his concept, isn't it normal to detect a large amount of trace elements in this land? What's all the fuss about.

After Wang Lu expressed this question, several professional prospectors immediately gave explanations.

"We detected a large number of oxides in the soil layer under the guano phosphate rock. What we detected alone included more than a dozen rare mineral elements, which are definitely not comparable to ordinary minerals."

Then these technicians spit out a word that surprised Wang Lu:

"Rare earth minerals!"

"We suspect that there is a rare earth mine underneath the entire area, not a poor iron mine at all! The guano phosphate rocks above confuse our sight!"

Wang Lu looked slightly stunned. I don't understand what rare mineral elements or oxides you are talking about, but I can understand this rare earth mineral... This thing is an absolutely important strategic resource!

“We hope to apply for further rental of more sophisticated equipment to detect these collected oxides, but the process may be cumbersome, so a better option is to send the collected samples to a qualified and technical company. It will take less time and cost to go to an authoritative laboratory for testing!"

Looking at the serious faces of several technicians, Wang Lu did not hesitate.

He agreed immediately and chose the second option.

It's not that he was stingy and didn't choose the first option. The reason was pretty much the same as what these technicians proposed, and he happened to have the resources available on hand.

I have just met with the big bosses of the domestic energy sector. For the samples collected from the guano phosphate mine, I can find a sufficiently authoritative laboratory or testing institution in the country with just a phone call, without any trouble at all! (End of chapter)
