The world's largest oil field, coal mine, gold mine, iron ore, copper mine, diamond mine... which is the most valuable?

You can't believe the gap is so big.

1. The world's largest oil field:

Ghawar Oil field, Saudi Arabia

Gawar Oilfield is located in the east of Saudi Arabia, about 500km east of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Its proved recoverable oil reserves are 11.48 billion tons, and its natural gas reserves are 924 billion cubic meters, equivalent to two or three times of the proved recoverable oil reserves in China, and about half of the proved natural gas reserves in China (56.3%). It is the world's largest oilfield, and the value of oil alone is trillions.

I finally know why the current war and oil are so "close".

2. The largest coal mine in the world:

Tavan Tolgoi Coal Mine, Mongolia

Taban Tolgoi Coal Mine is a coal mine in the southern Gobi Province of Mongolia, with an estimated reserves of 6 billion tons, about 40% of which is high tar coal, worth more than 300 billion dollars.

China Shenhua led the consortium to obtain the equity coal reserves of about 1.2 billion tons of Shenhua and Sanjing products in the western Tsankhi block of Tavan Tolgoi Coal Mine, Mongolia, the largest coal mine project in the world, which will account for 40% of the equity, but Mongolia's policy is unstable, and there are certain risks in the later development of the mine.

3. The largest gold mine in the world:

Muruntau Gold Mine, Uzbekistan

When it comes to where there are the most gold mines, you must first think of Australia and South Africa, but the largest gold mines in the world are in Uzbekistan.

Muruntau Gold Mine is located in the hinterland of the Kirkum Desert in Uzbekistan. It is a large open-pit gold mine. The open pit is about 3.35km long, 2.5km wide and 569m deep. Uzbekistan's state-owned Navoi Mining Company owns its mining rights. The gold mine is the largest land gold mine in the world. It is the largest gold mine in the world. It is estimated that there are about 170 million ounces of gold, about 4800 tons, worth about 240 billion dollars. The average grade of gold is about 2g/t, and the average grade of silver is about 100-300g/t. The annual output of gold is 21 tons (according to other data, the output is estimated to be 80 tons).

4. The largest iron ore in the world:

Caraj á s Mine, Brazil

Brazil has a mining company called Vale, which is the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter, because it owns the world's largest iron ore.

The largest iron ore in the world is the Caraj á s Mine in Brazil, with an area of 830000 square kilometers. The discovery process was quite dramatic. When an American company was carrying out aerial exploration, it was forced to land because of insufficient fuel for the aircraft and then found the world's largest iron ore. The proven recoverable reserves of Karagas iron ore are 7.2 billion tons, which is worth more than 600 billion US dollars based on the current iron ore price.

5. The largest copper mine in the world:

Escondida Copper Mine, Chile

Chile is known as the "kingdom of copper", and its reserves account for one third of the world. Because of its unique geological conditions, many super-large copper mines were born on this land, and the world's largest copper mine was also born here.

The Escondida copper mine is located in the Atacama desert of Chile. The copper mine is developed by BHP Billiton, a well-known mining company. The copper mine reserves are estimated to exceed 34.7 million tons, and the copper mine value is about 170.98 billion dollars.

6. The largest diamond mine in the world:

Orapa diamond mine in Africa

Botswana is a landlocked country in southern Africa. It has the largest diamond mine in the world, Orapa. It is estimated that the Orapa diamond mine has a diamond reserve of 150 million carats, and the price is not easy to measure. Some people believe that the value of the diamond mine is about $1 trillion.

But diamonds are very special after all. In fact, diamonds are not so scarce in the world. They just control the supply and do a good job in marketing. If they are mined on a large scale, they may not be of great value.

7. The largest rare earth ore in the world:

Baiyunebo Rare Earth Mining Area, China

Baiyun Obo is regarded as the largest rare earth ore in the world, with rare earth reserves of about 100 million tons, accounting for 38% of the world's total reserves and about 80% of the national reserves. It is known as the "hometown of rare earth" in the world.

Since the mining area has been mainly producing iron ore for decades, the value of rare earth in the tailings pond can now exceed 100 billion yuan.

8. The largest copper and cobalt ore in the world

Tenke Fengurume mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Tenke Fungurume copper-cobalt mine is located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and was acquired by China's Lomo Group with a transaction value of 2.65 billion US dollars.

The price of cobalt soared, quadrupled in two years, and Lomo also entered the fast lane. In just a few years, it has become a force that cannot be ignored in the world mining industry.

9. The world's largest lithium mine:

Greenbushes

Chinese people are really keen on new energy minerals. They have not only won the world's largest copper and cobalt mine, but also the world's largest lithium mine.

Greenbush Mine is located in Western Australia. Formerly owned by Australian Talison Lithium, its controlling right has now been invested by Tianqi Lithium, a listed company in Sichuan, with a total investment of 3.1 billion yuan. The total intercepted mineral reserves are 61.5Mt (calculated by 2.8% lithium oxide and 4.3Mt LCE).
