Chapter 103: Chapter One Hundred and Three: Huge Goldmine in the Canyon (Subscribe!)

Of course, even though the scope of detection is already quite large, it is just the preliminary detection range.

But this is clearly good news. Even if it’s just the initial detection range, it has already become one of the largest gold mines in Australia so far, and the scope of the gold mine may continue to expand.

If the gold content of the gold mine is a qualifying number, then this newly discovered gold mine can be called the largest gold mine in Australia.

This gold mine may not fail to attract another gold rush, bringing more immigrants and gold diggers to Australia.

If it is to serve as a reserve for gold-backed currency, this huge gold mine is already fully qualified.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Minister Pierre arrived in this area very early and immediately began to explore the specific scope of the gold mining area.

However, this cannot be determined in a short period of time. The transportation of various large-scale detection equipment takes time, and the calculation of various data also takes time.

Seeing Arthur and Prime Minister Evan arrive, Minister Pierre walked over with a delighted face and reported, “Your Highness, Mr. Prime Minister, according to our initial gold detection range, the scope of this gold mine may directly cover the entire canyon, or even larger. This also means that the area of this gold mine will be the largest in Australia, and the gold reserves should be quite satisfying.”

“What is the purity of the gold mine at the moment? Can it meet our expectations?” Prime Minister Evan asked impatiently.

Like the gold reserves, the purity of the gold mine is also one of the factors that determine the total value of the gold mine.

If the purity of the gold mine is very low, even if it is a particularly large gold mine, its value may not be as good as that of a medium-sized gold mine with normal purity.

Aside from the range and reserves of the gold mine, the purity of the gold mine is a topic that everyone cares about.

“We have currently selected many places in the existing gold mine range for testing, and the gold content per ton is about five to six grams. Although this is only a preliminary test result, I believe that the gold content of this gold mine will not be less than four grams per ton.” Minister Pierre reported happily.

This is good news for Australia. Most of the remaining gold mines in Australia are small-scale gold mines with only two or three grams of gold content.

If a gold mine with a huge reserve and a qualified gold content can be added, it would be good news for both the Australian civilian sector and the government.

“Well done, Prime Minister Evan and Minister Pierre. The progress of determining the gold mine range should be accelerated, quickly establish the entire gold mine range, and organize the development of the new gold mine.” Arthur smiled and nodded, instructing.

Since there is a large and gold-containing gold mine, the first thing to do is to find out the range and reserves of the gold mine, and to start mining and digging as soon as possible.

“Yes, Your Highness!” Minister Pierre nodded quickly, and then thought of something, tentatively asked, “Your Highness, what about those gold diggers?” Many of Australia’s population joined as gold diggers, and they accounted for a considerable proportion of the population.

Although most of the gold diggers have changed their identities as ordinary people accompany the Australian gold mines being almost mined, a considerable number of people still continue to operate as gold diggers in Australia.

Once the news of the newly discovered large-scale gold mine in Australia is heard, these people will swarm in and spread over the nearby hills and rivers, rejoining the gold mining work.

These people have both advantages and disadvantages for the gold mining work. Therefore, Minister Pierre could not grasp their policy treatment and could only boldly try to ask Arthur.

Arthur naturally understood the meaning of Minister Pierre. With the influx of these gold diggers, although Australia’s immigrant appeal can be improved, it will also cause some chaos in the gold mine area.

Even with the addition of too many gold diggers, a certain amount of gold will be divided by these people.

This will indirectly harm the interests of the country, which is why many countries later banned gold diggers.

“Let those gold diggers do as they please! As long as they don’t enter our core gold mine area, let them have some of the surrounding areas with placer gold.” Arthur laughed and said, “The extraction of placer gold is very troublesome, and it is just a small fraction compared to our main gold mine. If these gold diggers can attract a large number of immigrants, it is a good choice.”

Arthur’s purpose was clear. As long as it ensured that the interests of the government and the royal family were not damaged with the gold diggers getting the small share, it didn’t matter if these gold diggers stayed on the periphery of the gold mine. These gold diggers also knew the importance of light and heavy weight, and they pursued the placer gold scattered in the forests and creeks more.

Although this placer gold is genuine gold, because the content is really small and it is very troublesome to extract, it is somewhat uneconomical for large- scale mining operations organized by the government.

It’s better to let these gold diggers take these small-interest heads. It can not only make these gold diggers have a taste, but also revive a small gold rush, adding bricks and tiles to Australia’s immigration business.

“Yes, Your Highness, I understand.” Minister Pierre nodded.

As long as the range of the gold mine can be determined quickly, the range of the gold mine distribution can be controlled and the gold mining area can be established, and people can be organized for mining, Minister Pierre can complete the task of Arthur.

Let those gold diggers explore the gold-rich mountains and creeks outside the gold mining area.

After a simple inspection of the gold mining area, Arthur returned to the Manor House.

The next exploration work will take some time, and these tasks are naturally handed over to professionals.

Arthur only needs to wait for the final result and make arrangements based on the clearly detected gold reserves and gold content.

However, this is currently the most important gold mine in Australia, so both the government and the royal family attach great importance to it.

The government dispatched a hundred-person police force to patrol the gold mining area, and Arthur also assembled an army for training nearby.

In fact, according to the current security situation in Australia, just the one hundred police officers alone can ensure the safety of the gold mining area.

In a society where they can be fed and clothed, the vast majority of people are still willing to be law-abiding citizens.

Even if there are still some dangerous elements, they will never become a climate and will not be able to break through the hundred police officers’ patrols and enter the gold mining area.

Of course, this is only a short-term defense. Once the gold mine is officially mined, whether it is the numerous indigenous workers or the soldiers in charge of supervising the workers, a more solid line of defense will be formed.
