Geologists Might Have Stumbled Upon the Largest Gold Mine in the World

A deposit of gold ore just discovered in China isn’t just giant. It’s supergiant. So much so, in fact, that Chinese experts claim it could be the largest deposit of any precious metal—not just gold ore—in existence today.
How big is the “supergiant” deposit located under the Wangu gold field in the Hunan province? Experts estimate it at 1,100 tons.
According to Chinese state media, a team of geologists detected over 40 gold veins of roughly 330 tons of gold ore dipping 6,600 feet deep under Pingjiang County’s Wangu gold field. But 3D modeling blows that number out of the water, showing there could be as much as 1,100 tons as deep as 9,800 feet. If the models are accurate, the deposit in its entirely could be worth roughly $83 billion.
Adding some more heft to the already weighty (literally) find was the report that the new discovery features 138 grams of gold per metric ton of ore, a valuable rate not often found in gold mining. “Many drilled rock cores showed visible gold,” said Chen Rulin, an ore-prospecting expert at China’s Hunan Province’s Geological Bureau, according to Chinese state media.
If the 1,100-ton figure holds up, that makes this new find the largest gold mine in the world, even outpacing South Africa’s South Deep gold mine with its 1,025 tons of gold, according to Mining Technology. Mines in Indonesia, Russia, New Guinea, and Chile round out the top-five gold mines in the world. The Carlin Trend and Cortez gold mines, both in Nevada, are ranked sixth and 10th worldwide.
Historically, the world has mined 233,000 tons of gold, all of it still around in some form, and two-thirds of that mining has occurred since 1950.

If this is accurate the price of gold is going to come down by at least 10-12% from what the analysts are saying. While it will take years to mine this quantity of gold. That is a massive amount of gold to bring to the market.

That's a lot of gold. I guess this is one of the "problems" with gold, that we can discover and mine more of it, increasing the supply. There is also the future problem of making gold. We already know how to do that and scientists have done it in the lab. So far the amount they have been able to make has been minuscule and completely outweighed by the enormous costs to make it. But we might assume many countries (especially China) are actively researching how to improve this process and lower the costs.

I find it hard to believe any news about anything these days. Would be crazy if that's real though. !pimp

From the articles covering this, there was very little on facts and a lot on speculation and opinion. Have you got a link to the article? I suspect it could be propaganda coming out of China to keep prices down so they could buy on the cheap. At drill sample stage and that depth I'd be at least a decade before they could begin extracting any metal, in the meantime inflation will have done it's scorched earth economy.

Analysts often highlight that various factors could influence gold prices, including economic conditions, central bank policies, and geopolitical events. It will be interesting to observe how this plays out over time.

It's funny that 83 billion sounds like so little now. Cheers!
