China has recently discovered a huge gold deposit with a reserve of nearly 50 tonnes, which can be sold for around $3 billion at current market price.
The deposit is located in rural Rushan City, eastern China's Shandong Province, according to province mineral resource authority.
"The deposit covers a large area," said Shandong Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. "The ores are easy to mine and dress."
Shandong Province is rich in gold resources with a larger production than any other provincial areas across China for the past four decades.
"The prospectors drilled more than 250 holes as deep as 1,400 meters to find the deposit," Zhou Mingling, deputy head of the 6th Geological Brigade at the bureau, told local media Dazhong Daily.
Government evaluation showed the deposit can produce 2,000 tonnes of gold ores for at least 20 years.
:who-must-go: Come again...there's no way I read that right.
We were talking about pens going missing around the work area and he sarcastically says like "You know who definitely had a ballpoint pen? Anne Frank." He was joking about a widespread Holocaust denial myth that Anne Frank's diary was written in 1942 but the ballpoint pen wasn't invented until 1944.
In case you ever are unfortunate enough to experience this particular thing: It's incorrect, the ballpoint pen was commercially available as early as 1938, but that doesn't even matter because her diary was written with a fountain pen. Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father, wrote notes in her diary with a ballpoint pen and published it in 1947.
I have to navigate a lot of rightwing delusion at work, but thankfully (since I'm a jew), jews are largely absent from the worldview of my chud coworkers. It's just one more way that they fail to understand everything, but at least the really offensive innuendo isn't directed my way.
