Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 930 Mine
Sure enough, the next day, after the ship actually entered the high seas, Liang En received a thank you call, thanking him for successfully delivering those things to the ship.

"It's nothing, since I've made a promise before, I'm sure I'll keep my promise now." Liang En deliberately said in a relatively calm tone. "I will look for you again for such things in the future."

To be honest, this kind of cooperation while maintaining a certain distance is still very good.Especially compared with the Americans, Huaxia can at least guarantee that in most cases, things will be mentioned first, and then they will do what they say.

For example, the next day when Liang En and the others were planning to meet with the Otter Tribe working in Los Angeles, Liang En received a call from Elizabeth.

"My dear lord, I have good news for you. Recently, the bank in Huaxia gave us a low-interest loan of 3.5 million US dollars. This should be related to your actions this time."

"It seems that my hometown is really trustworthy." Liang En nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly thought of something and asked. "I have a small question, what do you need so much money for?"

At least according to the mid-month report sent a few days ago, all industries are operating normally, and there is no sign of an important investment that suddenly needs hundreds of millions of dollars.

"It's a very important investment, even if it's just an investment that we can only add to it now, everyone even established a company for this investment." Elizabeth said seriously.

"In addition to us, Golden Dawn, the American financial and mining capital I contacted, and the old French nobles contacted by the Duris family. There are even a group of rich Nordic tycoons recruited by Mr. Skold to hold shares in it."

"What did you find?" Liang En was shocked after hearing this sentence, because such a lineup can completely ignore any local forces in Guatemala when developing here.

This is especially true when South America, the back garden of the United States, is supported by the financial and mining capital of the United States. Liang En really can't think of anything that is worth such a big investment.

After all, those American capitals were definitely not used in vain, and it must have paid a high price to find the other party, especially when there are British and French forces here.

"A very important mine." Elizabeth paused and said, "You know that because the law and order here has affected the development of the mine, we have been trying to maintain law and order."

"But in the process, we realized that the value of simply fighting those crimes is not as great as imagined, because if this area continues to be poor, criminals will never be able to stop."

"So we adjusted our policies in time after hitting a wall a few times. While eradicating those outlaws, we tried every means to develop the economy and eradicate poverty."

"But you know we're not a charity after all, and we don't have enough money, so the only way to achieve this is to find a local profitable industry and develop it."

"And this mine was found in a search half a year ago, because this mountainous area is neither suitable for planting nor logging, and at that time some experts thought there were mines there, so we started exploration."

Having said that, Elizabeth paused for a moment, and then stated their findings in a very serious tone.

"This mine is located in the southeast of Guatemala, about 40 kilometers away from downtown Guatemala. It is a huge lead-zinc-silver mine. According to the exploration during this period, the total proven reserves and possible reserves are 3140 million tons."

"As for the grade, there is no accurate result, but it can be roughly determined that the main minerals are 347 g/t silver, 0.33 g/t gold, 0.74% lead and 1.21% zinc."

"You're not joking with me, are you?" Liang En's first reaction after hearing Elizabeth's report was that he was very surprised, and even vaguely couldn't believe it.

Because he has a lot of minerals in his hands, Liang En has also learned a lot of mining knowledge, and in his cognition, this level of mines should be ranked very high in the world.

"It's true, we hired very professional people to complete the exploration work. In this regard, their exploration results may differ from the real situation, but the difference will not exceed 10%." Elizabeth said seriously.

Unbeknownst to everyone present, the mine they discovered this time is called the Escobal mine in another world, a world-class mine.

in the history of another world.Work on the underground development of the Escobar Mine began in May 2011, and in October 5, the Guatemala Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources approved Tahoe Resources' environmental impact assessment for the design, construction, operation and closure of the Escobar Mine development .

Contractors began earthworks and construction of the concentrator and associated facilities to support the 3500 t/d mining and processing operation. In 2013, the construction of ground facilities continued.

埃斯科瓦尔矿山选厂于2013年9月投产，同月生产出第一批精矿。2014年1月宣布商业化生产，于2014年6月达到3500吨/天的设计产能。

After several years of mining, this silver mine is known as the second largest silver mine in the world. In 2021, nearly 600 tons of silver can be mined for a whole year.

Although it is impossible for Elizabeth and the others to know information about another world, judging from the results of the exploration, they also quickly made a plan for the next excavation.

According to the plan, they will use more advanced underground deep-hole mining methods and differential flotation methods to produce lead-zinc-rich mixed concentrates in order to maximize the use of those mines.

It's just that in this way, the requirements for investment are naturally great.And that's why this loan is very important to Elizabeth.

Because if you don’t invest at this time, the benefits you will get in the future will naturally decrease, but if you inject capital, the amount of funds required is too large, which may affect the development of other industries.

Fortunately, this large amount of low-interest loans has solved all these problems. At least this money can not only make up for the lack of funds now, but even have more funds that can be used to accelerate construction.

"Then we can only hope that the next excavation work will go smoothly. I think if this mine can be officially opened, it should be able to have a huge positive impact on our layout in Guatemala."

After listening to Elizabeth's simple report, Liang En nodded in satisfaction. At least being able to figure out these things and formulate a preliminary plan in such a short period of time has greatly exceeded Liang En's expectations.

In particular, they all know that the next work will be very difficult. After all, this is equivalent to organizing the development of millions of people, so the problems to be solved are very difficult.

If you want to solve these difficulties, sufficient funds are the most basic point, which is why this is the reason why a long development plan was formulated before: if you don’t have money, you can only adjust slowly.

Now, both the discovery of the silver mine and the low-interest loan have greatly advanced the progress of the plan, but it will take more time and energy to achieve the goal in the plan.
