山东发现1500多亿金矿 国际金价引震荡
2017年03月29日 09:43 北京时间

　　中国山东发现储备1500多亿金矿，国际金价引震荡！

　　今年初，在中国产金第一大省——山东省发现一个世界级的巨型单体金矿床，山东黄金集团探获的“三山岛矿区西岭金矿”，目前已备案金金属量382.58吨，预计勘探结束后，可提交金资源量550吨以上，有望成为国内有史以来最大的金矿。

　　19世纪一系列黄金资源的发现，使得从那时起黄金产量得到了大幅度的提高，尤其是在19世纪后半年的50年里，黄金产量超过了这之前5000年的总量。如今，世界每年矿产黄金2600吨左右。

　　该矿床矿体走向长度超过2000米，单矿体局部厚度67米，目前已探获黄金金属量382.58吨，平均品位4.52克/吨，该成果已于2017年3月8日在山东省国土资源厅备案，正式转入勘探阶段，通过钻孔加密施工，预计两年后可累计提交金资源量550吨以上，潜在经济价值可达1500多亿元，将成为国内有记载以来黄金史上最大的单体金矿床。若按生产规模10000吨/日计算，可连续满负荷生产40年。

　　众所周知，黄金是从古至今最刚性的避险货币之一，中国古代是以“两”作为黄金单位，是一种非常重要的金属。不仅是用于储备和投资的特殊通货，同时又是首饰业、电子业、现代通讯、航天航空业等部门的重要材料。

　　几十年来，通货膨胀十分严重，普遍国家都受此问题的困扰。货币价值贬值，货币购买力日渐降低，钱变得不值钱了。在一些极端的情况，国家的货币通货膨胀严重，钞票就会变得如同废纸一般。黄金本身属于贵重商品，金价会随着通货膨胀而上升，也就是黄金抵消了通货膨胀的损失，保证了投资者的资产不会被通货膨胀侵蚀。

　　卓越的避险功能，当世界政局和经济不稳，尤其是发生战争或经济危机时，各种普遍的投资工具如，股票、基金、房地产等都会受到严重的冲击，这时黄金就体现了很好的避险属性。即使遭遇经济危机，黄金的价格仍能维持不变甚至稳步上升，保持了资产的价值。而随着黄金矿藏的不断开采和需求的不断增加，黄金变得更加稀有，增强了自身的避险属性。此次中国境内发现1500亿黄金矿定会对国家金价造成一定的影响。

　　现货黄金：国内手续费标准为万分之7左右，采用24小时不间断交易，时间及价格与国际金价市场接轨，T+0交易模式，双向操作可买涨买跌，杠杆比例比较低是1：12.5，是国内唯一采用做市商制度的投资品种，可提取黄金实物。

　　国际现货黄金：俗称伦敦金，现货黄金也称炒伦敦金或者国际金以杠杆比例更新为400倍，2013年开设FXCM环球金汇的杠杆黄金最高是400，外汇也是最高400，且无时间限制，网上交易，T+0交易形式，周一至周五24小时连续交易，双向买涨买跌的形式。

According to local media reports, the Xiling gold seam in eastern China is more than 2,000 meters long and 67 meters wide. At full capacity, the mine could produce gold for 40 years.

The mine is located in the Laizhou-Zhaoyuan region of northwest Jiaodong Peninsula, in eastern China's Shandong. The region has the largest gold deposits in the country.

China had the fifth largest gold reserves in the world after the United States, Germany, Italy, and France. The mine is estimated to have the equivalent of 20 percent of the country’s 1,843 tons of gold reserves.

In July 2015, China ended six years of mystery over how much gold it has, revealing a 57 percent jump in reserves since 2009 when it last updated the figures.

In November that year, the world’s second-largest economy said it discovered another vast deposit of gold beneath the seabed of the East China Sea. At the time, the Chinese media claimed the deposit situated at a depth of 2,000 meters held 470.47 tons of gold, which is even bigger than this week’s discovery.

Gold was trading a half percent down on Wednesday at $1,254.70 per troy ounce.

World-class gold mine with 382.58 tons of reserves has been found in Xiling, East China's Shandong earlier this year, with a potential value of more than $22 billion (150 billion yuan), announced Shandong Gold Group Co Ltd during its press conference in Beijing on March 28, 2017. It is believed to be China's largest gold deposit in history.

The gold mine is located in the Laizhou-Zhaoyuan region of northwest Jiaodong Peninsula, East China's Shandong. The special geological characteristic of this region helped to form the country's major gold deposits cluster, which has the largest gold reserves and production in China.

According to reports, Xiling gold deposit is more than 2,000 meters long and part of it has a thickness of 67 meters. Currently, 382.58 tons of gold reserves have been prospected with an average gold grade of 4.52 g/t. And 550 tons of gold resources with more than $22 billion potential economic value can be expected in two years. If producing on a scale of 10,000 tons every day, the gold deposit can produce gold continuously at full capacity for 40 years.

dat wud be fake news from Trump............ two fakes make it real??

Earth man will search and hunt for every bit of earth's resources to exploit until exhaustion of resources. Whatever resources man use will be used up, and then turned into harmful waste after their use. This is called the Modern Civilization Suicide.

不要求我善良和平！我的本能是生存！

The smallest country in Central America – El Salvador – has approved a law prohibiting all metal mining in an attempt to protect the environment and natural resources. It is the first country in the world to do so.

The new law, supported by 70 lawmakers, bans all exploration, extraction, and processing of metals both in open pits and mines.

“It’s a historic day in El Salvador. It’s a historic day for the whole world,”, Environment Minister Lina Pohl told reporters after a vote in Congress, as quoted by the Financial Times.

“This is a brave step, an extraordinary step, and an enormous step toward reversing the environmental degradation in this country,” she added.

The level of environmental pollution in El Salvador is one of the highest in the region, second only to Haiti, and the availability of drinking water is the lowest, according to UN data.

“Mining is an industry whose primary and first victim is water. We are talking about an issue that is a life-or-death issue for the country,” said Andrés McKinley, a mining and water specialist at Central American University in San Salvador, as quoted by the New York Times.

The legislation was passed despite interest from international gold and silver mining companies.

In October, El Salvador won a lawsuit at the World Bank's International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) against the Australian-Canadian miner OceanaGold Corp.

The company demanded $250 million compensation after El Salvador retracted an extraction permit in 2009. OceanaGold was instead obliged to pay the country $8 million in legal costs.

El Salvador has the population of about six million people and has a $25.9 billion gross domestic product.
