Chapter 785 Surprises brought by geological exploration
"I know the situation. The climate environment here is indeed quite complicated, and it happens to be the wet season with a lot of rain. It's understandable that the progress is slow!" Yu Qingyang comforted with a smile.
Naturally, Yu Qingyang treats his senior differently than he treats others.
"I heard that three of you were injured last month while surveying the landforms. You must pay attention to your safety!
You can let security go to more dangerous places. Going over mountains and ridges may seem difficult to you, but to them it is commonplace!"
"You know, the subsequent surveying and mapping were all completed with the help of Captain Sun and others!
In fact, our surveyors are also engineers who have been transferred from the army. I used to think that these people are very powerful, but compared with those who came out of the special forces, they are not even the slightest bit worse!" Wang Xuebin said with a smile.
“That’s right, you are professionals in surveying and mapping, but others are professionals in climbing over mountains and ridges, and surviving in the wild!
When will you be able to get the preliminary design drawings out?"
"It will take another three months!
The geological survey can be completed next month, and the preliminary design will be completed in two months!"
"Okay!" Yu Qingyang nodded.
"Director Yu, what should we do next? Should we return to China or wait for news in Mozambique?" Lin Yongmao waited for Yu Qingyang and Wang Xuebin to finish speaking before asking.
"Mr. Lin, your railway design institute should also do industrial architectural design, right?"
"Our design institute does have industrial architectural design qualifications, but... I have always been engaged in railway bridge design and have never done industrial architectural design..." Lin Yongmao answered honestly.
People with high technical level are just so down-to-earth and not good at lying.
"Dr. Yu, I used to do industrial architectural design, and then I switched to highway and bridge design!" Chen Jinchang, the head of the Transportation Design Institute, raised his hand and said.
"Well, Angela, leave the design of your industrial park to Mr. Chen and the others!" Yu Qingyang nodded and said directly to Angela.
It is not unusual for transportation design institutes to do industrial architectural design. Domestic design institutes are different from those design studios abroad. Specialization is more popular in foreign countries, but inclusiveness and diversity are popular in China.
The Transportation Design Institute has architectural design qualifications, highway and bridge design qualifications, port and terminal design qualifications, and water conservancy design qualifications. This is normal.
"Okay, boss! Mr. Chen, after the meeting, let's go to the Building Materials Industrial Park to have a look!"
"Mr. Lin, what other jobs can these people do besides designing railway bridges?"
"Director Yu, the people we have here are mainly responsible for geological survey and preliminary planning and design. After the geological survey and preliminary planning and design are completed, the later design of the railway bridge construction drawings will be completed in China!"
He is indeed a genuine person and will not lie at all.
It is normal for construction drawings to be made in China. After all, if the entire construction drawings are made in Mozambique, their costs will increase a lot.
If you do it at home, at least you don’t have to pay extra for travel subsidies abroad.
Yu Qingyang nodded, "I understand!
In this way, you and Mr. Chen from the Transportation Design Institute should be responsible for the geological survey and preliminary planning and design of the building materials industrial park!
The cost for this piece will be calculated separately!”
The progress report meeting had to be ended early because the cost of the railway was too high and beyond Hua Yu's ability to bear.
There is no point in discussing it any further.
As for the report of the geological exploration team, that is confidential and cannot be conducted in a large conference room.
After the meeting, Yu Qingyang received the head of the geological exploration team in Wang Hongbo's office.
Captain Liu Yiliang, head of the Mozambique project of the Qindao Geological Exploration Institute of the China General Administration of Metallurgical Geology.
“Dr. Yu, we have completed the geological survey of the Zambezia Massif!
This is our geological survey report!”
Liu Yiliang was also a down-to-earth person. Without too many pleasantries, he said hello and directly handed Yu Qingyang a geological report.
The Zambezia Massif is land allocated to Hua Yu from Mozambique. It is located in Zambézia Province, Mozambique, with a total area of about 3,000 square kilometers, of which 2,800 square kilometers are woodland and 200 square kilometers are grassland.
"Tell me first! What's the good news?" Yu Qingyang took the report and asked with a smile.
"There is really good news!
The Zambezia massif covers an area of 280,000 hectares!
There are 265 different types of tree species, of which 98 species have commercial development value, and 31 species have been developed with commercial value...
There are wild animals... Among them, endangered animals include elephants and rhinos...
birds…………"
Yu Qingyang listened quietly, feeling really embarrassed for Liu Yiliang, who could remember so much data clearly.
"A tantalite mine was discovered, with reserves of about 10,000 tons!"
Liu Yiliang finally broke out the good news. The tantalite mine has reserves of 10,000 tons. According to domestic standards, this is a very large tantalite mine.
The known tantalite ore in Mozambique is only 7 million tons, ranking first in the world in reserves.
"There is also an iron mine with a good grade. It is higher than the domestic iron ore, about 50%!"
Yu Qingyang curled his lips and said nothing. An honest person would pretend to be cool. Although iron ore with a grade of 50% is not as good as those in Australia with an iron ore of over 60%, it is still rich in iron ore.
"Iron ore reserves are about 70 million tons!"
Another good news, the 70 million tons of rich iron ore is also a large-scale iron ore.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Yu Qingyang was very happy. On the 3,000 square kilometers of land, 70 million tons of iron ore and 10,000 tons of tantalum iron ore were discovered. This is definitely good news.
"The iron ore is buried deep and is close to the Zambezi Valley, so mining is very difficult!"
It was buried deep and was very difficult to mine. Yu Qingyang suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was poured down on his head.
However, I feel relieved when I think about it.
If the 70 million tons of rich iron ore hadn't been buried so deep and mined so much, would it still have been left to him?
It has long been snatched away by BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.
It doesn't matter if the mining is very large now. It's been detected anyway and it won't run away if it is left there. It doesn't matter if the mining technology improves in the future and it can be mined again.
Yu Qingyang comforted himself secretly.
The key is that with this report from the Geological Survey Institute, the market value of Huayu International Development Group will increase, and it will be able to borrow more money from banks.
"Are there other mineral resources?"
“Some coal mines have also been discovered, but the reserves are not large and not worth mining!
There are also gold mines with relatively low content and low reserves, and basically have no mining value!" Liu Yiliang ruthlessly broke Yu Qingyang's fantasy.
Yu Qingyang didn't take it seriously. People are just like that and they don't know how to talk in a roundabout way. "Mr. Liu, you guys need to rest for a few days and then start the exploration work on the land in Inhambane Province!"
