China will see 3 big discoveries I pray
22-05-2008 newspaperChina, the biggest world golden producer, might strengthen moreover his production of the precious metal with the discovery of up to three giant auriferous deposits in the next 5 years, said André Gauthier, a legendary searcher and golden discoverer of the world, affirming that his explorations concentrate in the west of China, an area that it has very much potential in the industry of the gold.
“I believe that in the next 5 years 2 is going to be discovered to 3 giant deposits in the China of the west, easily,” he said to Gauthier, who discovered The Sand in Peru, The Wooly one in Argentina and 2 deposits in China, which it sold to finance major projects.
China produced last year approximately 275 tons of gold, turning for the first time into the biggest world producer of the yellow metal, overthrowing South Africa and the United States.
Nevertheless, Gauthier thought that there exist approximately 170 additional tons of gold produced by the informal mining annually that are not considered by the official statistics, opposite to a fast growth of the consumption of the gold.
“With some numbers that we have seen in the informal sector we believe that it might add in whole approximately 445 tons in China,” he was necessary.
Gauthier, president of the mine-layer novice monk Maxi Gold, with head office in China, thought that the Asian country, where foreign signatures come to look for gold, has a "tremendous" potential on the auriferous market.
“The discovery potential in China, especially in the China of the west, I have tried to demonstrate it, it is really incredible,” he added.
According to the explorer, in China 50 % of the mining workpeople works for the informal mining or for proper account.
“Now it is necessary to take care very much of the fact of having a Chinese associate to be able to assure the production and preserve the discoveries that we can do,” he explained.
Gauthier affirmed that it was much more optimistic of finding new discoveries in China, opposite to Latin America and Africa, although he emphasized the potential of Peru where his company has a branch.
“In last 10 years: how many new discoveries have been done in America? And of the new ones that have been done: how many have problems yet?,” it recounted.
“Nevertheless, I believe very much in the potential of the south (of Peru), I believed also in the potential of the north. Nevertheless the south is completely subexplored, I believe that there are less social problems, we are to a height of more than 4.000 meters with less populations. There is a good potential,” he added.
Peru is the fifth biggest world golden producer.
“Most of our projects are a basic exploration and I believe that the next secret of Peru there are the projects where it had not been explored earlier,” he added.
