Situated in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, the site comprises 40 gold veins approximately one mile deep. Initial test drilling has confirmed 300 tonnes of gold, with potential for more at deeper levels.

Visible gold in drilled rock cores and further successful drills around the site’s periphery indicate that the deposit could be even larger than current estimates.

If fully exploited, the deposit could yield revenues exceeding 600 billion yuan, or about $83 billion, impacting global gold prices amidst fluctuating geopolitical tensions.

This discovery is particularly significant for China, enhancing its resource security amid global uncertainty.

The Wangu goldfield, a major mining area for China, has invested nearly 100 million yuan in mineral exploration. As of 2023, China, producing about 10% of the world’s gold, remains a leader in global mining and producing precious metals crucial for electronics and battery technology.

China is also advancing in mining technology, focusing on reducing carbon emissions in the mining process.

A significant discovery of gold has been made in central China, with estimates suggesting a deposit of approximately 1,000 metric tons of high-quality ore.
