Recently, the Ministry of Natural Resources announced a landmark achievement in China’s new‑round mineral‑exploration initiative. A super‑large‑scale copper‑gold deposit has been uncovered in Chating, Xuancheng, Anhui Province, which is expected to build a brand‑new large copper‑gold resource base in the Yangtze‑River‑Delta hinterland.
The outlined main ore‑body stretches about 1.2 km long and 1.1 km wide. Deep ore bodies have not yet been fully penetrated. Preliminary evaluation shows its copper resource potential exceeds several large‑sized copper mines (500,000 tons each), while gold potential surpasses more than ten large‑scale gold mines (20 tons each), with huge room for further resource growth.
Over nearly four‑month intensive field‑work, geologists completed 71 drill‑holes with total drilling footage over 98,000 meters, and the deepest borehole reached more than 2000 meters. High‑precision deep core‑drilling technology has played an irreplaceable role in this strategic prospecting project.
As a professional manufacturer of exploration‑drilling equipment, SINOCOREDRILL supplies a full‑range of wireline core‑drilling tools including BQ‑NQ‑HQ‑PQ core barrels, impregnated diamond core bits, reaming shells, drill‑rods and full‑hydraulic surface core‑drill‑rigs. Our drilling solutions are well‑suited for 2000‑3000m deep mineral‑exploration projects, delivering intact rock‑core samples for geologists to evaluate ore‑body parameters accuratelyJiangsu Si….
Copper and gold are vital strategic raw‑materials for new‑energy industries and advanced manufacturing sectors. The Chating copper‑gold deposit will greatly boost the self‑supply capacity of precious metal & copper resources for East‑China industrial clusters.
SINOCOREDRILL will keep optimizing deep‑drilling hardware and consumables, providing reliable, cost‑effective core‑drilling packages for domestic deep‑prospecting campaigns as well as global mineral‑exploration contractors worldwide.
