Scientists locate the largest gold deposit on the planet - Michigan Swamp Buck - 07-30-2025
Eureka! They found it! The world's biggest of all mother loads! GOLD!
But why is it in China? Why can't that be hereabouts, in my neck of the woods?
Quote:Confirmed – Scientists locate the largest gold deposit on the planet and surprise international markets
. . . Chinese geologists have identified roughly 1,000 metric tons of metal locked under Hunan.
That gold deposit translates to about 32 million ounces, a haul worth north of $80 billion at recent prices.
The grade splashed across social feeds —138 grams per ton— is eye‑popping. For comparison, many modern bulk mines make money at 1–4 g/t. But grades that high usually refer to selected veins within a system, not the average ore you can mine economically at scale.

This sure seems like a game changer to me, unless the West can pull some rare earth metals and other PMs out of their asses. Finally time to learn Mandarin and read the Little Red Book so I don't appear retarded to our honorable masters.

Ok, but as far as Mandarin goes, this is what I got. Tell me if you think it will work after they get here.
Ma Po. Kung Pao, wok hakka soy Dim Sum?
Shitake! Wonton, chow mein!
I over heard that at a Chinese buffet.

I can't be sure, but I do know that Colgon is an ancient Chinese secret.

Yeah, that should work for most stuff. Might have to throw in a couple Fuk Yoo's and a Blo Mi or two!

I choose not to believe it. Recall 3-4 years ago China was caught red-handed using fake gold bars for international transactions. So, either their problems are now in the past or just wishful dreams.
And last year a story stating China found the mother lode gold mine worth over $80 billion. Supposedly found using 3D mapping and satellite tech.
There was another story a week ago stating China has discovered its largest uranium deposit in the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang, buried 1,820 meters deep — the deepest industrial uranium find in the world.

I always wanted to learn a phrase or two to use at a Chinese buffet, but not to the workers - only to my dining companion. They would be:
"I'll bet they think we can't understand Chinese."
Or
"I wonder how they get their cat so tender?"

Here you go...
"Wǒ gǎn dǎdǔ tāmen rènwéi wǒmen tīng bù dǒng zhōngwén."
and...
"Wǒ hěn hàoqí tāmen shì rúhé ràng tāmen de māo biàn dé rúcǐ wēnróu de?"
Translations to simple Chinese.

Makes me wonder who they're scamming this time, and why.
Communist nations have traditionally been known for their grandiose superlatives that always turn out to be bullshit - always the "best harvest" or the "happiest people" or the "most productive" etc, and it always, without fail, turns out to be bullshit. Usually they are either scamming their own people (to keep them pacified and less revolution-ey), or their main opponents (to try o make the opposition feel inadequate and demoralize them).
But this scam I can't figure out - why pick such a piddling amount? Modern high-end nations have annual economies measured in trillions of unbacked dollars. This entire lode, if mined to exhaustion, would cover less that 1/10th of ONE trillion - so why bother with it on a national level? It might make one or two guys rich, but not a nation of a billion. It would be just another drop in the bucket to them.
So, it is without a doubt some sort of scam, but what is the scam, who are they scamming, and why?
.Maybe trying to scam some foreign investors to invest in Chinese industry again after the Great Pullout from China?

Dunno, but I had Kung Pao Beef for dinner last night. It was great!
Didn't stay at Holiday Inn Express though.

Ninurta - So a couple things...
1. Propaganda is king in much of Asia. Even the people know it, but because of convenient culture they can't say anything about it. That, and everyone does it, from the leaders down to the individual people. Again, no one says anything about it because the custom of "Saving Face" is a very real thing. In the western world, 'Saving Face' is more of an abstract term generally referring to a person's ego, but not in Asia. In Asia it's like something people openly talk about..."Can't say THAT!" Even though we know it's true...because 'Saving Face'.
First time I was exposed to this in a professional work setting it was really weird. I didn't think it could possibly be real at first. But it is very real. They practice it daily, and people believe it enough to accept it without question. And the people who get the most deference from it are the leaders. In Malaysia (where I was based) if you said something negative about the PM, Sultans or King, you'd get tossed in the hoosegow for a very long time! Weirdly, it was okay to talk smack on the Deputy PM, because the PM himself was usually dissin' on him too! LOL!
2. Regarding the gold in particular - This is just the subject Du jour in the news. What we don't see is the tens of thousands of other bravado news items just like it which circulate on a day to day basis. This is just more of the same, no doubt. As you note, no, it's not a World saving quantity of gold, but this doesn't matter. To the common man in Asia it is far more money than they can even dream about, but it's not a sum they can't comprehend. That's the whole idea. To Asians, it's just enough to be unattainable, but not incomprehensible. I'll bet if we looked hard enough we'd find that the amount is slightly more than any of the wealthiest Chinese super-tycoons possess. (Have to impress humble them too, you know!)
Is it a scam? Dunno. Seems pretty scammy. But, there is gold to be had in that part of the world, that much is certain. Some of the biggest gold and mineral deposits in the world have been located in that region, most of them very real and actively being mined (or mined out). Whenever people talk about finding gold anymore, it all boils down to how many tons of rock you have to mine for every ounce of gold. The days of finding veins of gold are long past. Now it comes down to that rock vs. gold ratio, and the lower the better. I'm no expert, but do have some colleagues who prospect for gold in their spare time, and they tell me about the realities of the (to them) 'hobby'. Doesn't really matter if they're panning for it, or dredging for it, or digging for it, the equation is always the same.
