Xinhua News Agency reported that on the 14th, China’s Ministry of Natural Resources announced that Liaoning Province has successfully discovered China’s first 1,000-ton-class, low-grade super-large gold deposit—the Dadonggou Gold Mine—identifying 2.586 billion tons of gold ore with a gold resource of 1,444.49 tons at an average grade of 0.56 grams per ton. This marks the largest single gold deposit discovered since the founding of New China. It pioneers a new era of “short-cycle, high-quality” gold exploration in China, further strengthening the strategic reserve of gold resources, significantly enriching gold mineralization theory, and is expected to develop into a world-class gold industrial base to support comprehensive revitalization and high-quality development in Northeast China.
According to reports from China Central Television, the Ministry of Natural Resources announced a major exploration breakthrough: Liaoning Geological Prospecting Group has successfully discovered China’s first 1,000-ton-class, low-grade super-large gold deposit—the Dadonggou Gold Mine—in the eastern Liaoning region. The proven gold metal totals 1,444.49 tons, making it the largest single gold deposit discovered since the founding of New China.
The Ministry of Natural Resources stated that in the Dadonggou Gold Mine, above the –720 meter elevation, a total of 2.586 billion tons of gold ore with 1,444.49 tons of gold have been identified at an average grade of 0.56 grams per ton.
It was noted that Dadonggou Gold Mine is yet another super-large, low-grade, open-pit gold deposit discovered in China and has passed economic feasibility studies for development and utilization, with positive expected benefits. During the exploration process, nearly a thousand staff collaborated to reduce the exploration period to just 15 months.
