Resource Tycoon Reborn

"This mining area is located in Chita Oblast, Siberia, covering an area of ​​about 310 square kilometers. The current exploration reserves are more than 850 million tons, and the prospective reserves should exceed 1.2 billion tons! The iron ore here is mainly

The grade of magnetite should be no less than 58%." Nikolasky said with a smile, "And it is not far from the Siberian Railway. We only need to build a railway line of about 80 kilometers to connect with the Siberian Railway.

stand up."

"Bereszovsky Mine?" Fang Mingyuan almost blurted out.

"Ah?" Nikolaski was surprised. He didn't expect that Fan Mingyuan had already made a judgment based on his simple description before he read the information.

"Haha, I also got some information about your country's domestic mineral resources a few days ago." Fang Mingyuan also realized that he had made a mistake and quickly laughed. Nikolaski didn't think much about it. He also knew that as Fang Mingyuan's agent

, Aso Xiangyue had already been active in Russia before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and has become a well-known figure in the Russian economic circle. It is normal for him to be well-informed. How did he know that the reason why Fang Mingyuan knew Bereszo

Fsky Mine, but it’s because of the previous life!

In the previous life, with the development of China's steel industry, the domestic demand for iron ore became increasingly alarming. This caused the price of iron ore in the international market to continue to rise. However, as the price rose, the content of iron ore also increased.

Iron grade is on a downward trend! Some overseas iron ore suppliers no longer provide high-grade iron ore to the country, but resell mixed ore, and even sell low-grade iron ore that was stripped in the past to China. This phenomenon

It will have a large negative impact on the domestic steel industry.

The grade of iron ore plays a vital role in the production of steel companies. The higher the grade of iron ore, the more impressive its performance is in terms of fuel consumption, steel production, waste slag production, pollutant emissions and many other factors.

Satisfied, this will naturally reduce the company's production costs and improve the company's economic interests. Using low-grade iron ore will consume more fuel, limestone, iron ore, and emit more pollutants!

Years of experience from domestic and foreign steel companies have shown that the effect of the iron grade of iron ore used in blast furnace ironmaking is: if the iron grade of the ore entering the furnace decreases by one percent, the blast furnace fuel ratio will increase by 1.5 percent, and the iron content will increase.

If the output decreases by 2.5%, the amount of slag produced per ton of iron will increase by 30 kilograms, and pollutant emissions will also increase by 3%. Therefore, many domestic steel companies prefer to use overseas iron ore rather than

The important reason for using domestic iron ore is that although overseas iron ore is more expensive, considering the overall cost, the economic benefits that can be generated are higher than using domestic low-grade iron ore. And the grade

Fifty-eight percent of the iron ore can already be classified as a rich ore!

In fact, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is the Bereszovsky mine. Fang Mingyuan knows that due to the decline in the grade of ore provided by overseas iron ore suppliers, in the previous life, there were domestic enterprises and Chita, Russia.

The state government cooperated to develop this place, but the cooperation was forcibly suspended by the Russian government after it only got started. Because subsequent exploration work found that the grade of iron ore here was not the original 58%, but 6%.

Twelve, and the prospective reserves here exceed 2.5 billion tons!

At that time, oil prices and iron ore prices were at high levels in the international market. The Russian government, under the leadership of the iron-fisted president, was also in the best financial situation since Russia, so the Russian government decided to protect domestic mineral resources.

, so a series of laws and regulations were promulgated to protect domestic mineral resources. As a result, domestic companies were in trouble.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan also had the idea of ​​​​the Bereszovsky mine, but later he decided to give up and turn to Western Australia. Firstly, this was because the quality of the iron ore in Western Australia was not very high.

Lower than the Bereszovsky mine. Secondly, the reserves there are even more amazing. Thirdly, although the shipping route in Western Australia is far away, we have sufficient shipping capacity under Guo's Shipping Group Company.

, and it is very convenient to transport it back to the country or to other countries around the world. If the Bereszovsky mine is chosen, the only remaining options are to transport it domestically by rail and transport it to Vladivostok via the Trans-Siberian Railway.

, and sea transportation, the transportation cost is also quite high. And although the mine is only 80 kilometers away from the Siberian Railway, building a railway in Siberia is not an easy task, and the construction cost is also quite high.

Fourthly, it is also taken into account that domestic iron ore production in Russia can be said to be monopolized by a few major companies. Although Aso and Kyousuki also controlled some mining companies at the time, they were not conspicuous because they were scattered across multiple industries.

At that time, Fang Mingyuan also considered whether Russia would forcefully crack down on overseas capital to control domestic mining companies after Russia's iron-fisted president came to power. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he finally gave up on the Bereszovsky mine.

But now, since there are already CMM Company in Brazil and Australia's Haiping Mining Company, and the current operating conditions of the two companies are quite satisfactory, Fang Mingyuan can no longer think of the Bereszovsky Mine.

If Nikolasky hadn't mentioned this matter today, he would have forgotten about the Bereszovsky Mine.

Nikolasky breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Now that Fang Mingyuan knew about the Bereszovsky mine, things would be much easier to handle. When he was the president of the ALROSA branch in the Yakutia Soviet Socialist Autonomous Republic

, because Chita Oblast is adjacent to the Yakutia Soviet Socialist Autonomous Republic, so he still knows a little about the situation in Chita Oblast. The Bereszovsky Mine left a deep impression on him.

After he was transferred to Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources as deputy minister, since Nikolasky thought of increasing Russia's iron ore exports to China as a breakthrough for his political achievements, he naturally thought of the Bereszovsky mine.

Even though the Bereszovsky mine was discovered and initially explored more than ten years ago, more than ten years have passed and there has not been any actual change in the Bereszovsky mine.

There is no shortage of iron ore in Russia, and a lot of iron ore has been developed over the years. The current output of these iron ore is quite stable, which can not only meet the needs of Russian steel enterprises, but also have surplus for export. Moreover, Russia's industrial sector and

Most of the population is in its European territory. Although the Asian territory is vast, it is far behind the European part in terms of population and GDP output. This is especially true in the Far East, which is a typical place with less people and more land.

The region, the number and scale of factories are naturally small, and the winter here is cold, so the additional cost of mining iron ore is not low. Therefore, in the view of many Russian steel companies, developing the Bereszovsky mine is really not worth the gain!

The Russian government and the Chita Oblast government are unable to develop the Bereszovsky mine due to financial constraints. Therefore, although the grade of the Bereszovsky mine is good and the reserves are quite large, there is no

Naturally, no one will develop the demand!

Of course Nikolaski understands this truth, but in his opinion, these are not problems for the Fang family.

Funds? When has the Fang family ever lacked funds? Even if the Fang family lacks funds, he can easily bring in large amounts of funds.

Demand? Not to mention, China imported almost 200 million tons of iron ore last year. If it only needs to account for even a few percent of the share, it would be millions of tons of iron ore imports!

Customers? The Fang family owns two companies with an annual steel output of 50 million tons. They are also a founding member of the China Special Steel Association. If they can no longer find a market for their millions of tons of high-quality iron ore,

That's an out-and-out joke.

All in all, in his view, the development of the Bereszovsky mine is not only beneficial to the economic development of Russia, but also beneficial to the local economic development of Chita Prefecture. It is also his political achievement and is also beneficial to the Fang family.

Fang Mingyuan lowered his head to read the information, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed. He also did not expect that the Bereszovsky Mine would suddenly jump in front of him again. For a moment, he was a little unable to make up his mind.

, do you want to take over the Bereszovsky Mine under your control? If you can take over the Bereszovsky Mine under your control, you don’t have to worry about lack of sales. There is a direct railway from Chita.

The Northeast region, and the Northeast region happens to be a domestic heavy industrial area, not to mention a few million tons of iron ore, or several times more, can be digested for a long time in the future. Even if it is not sold domestically,

It can also be transported to Vladivostok. I believe that at least Koreans are happy to see another source of iron ore imports.

However, a lot of investment is required to develop the Bereszovsky mine. Fang Mingyuan estimated that it would require an investment of about US$500 million to achieve an annual output of 10 million tons. And it must be able to

It will not be officially put into production until the second half of 2007 or even 2008 at the earliest. It is not a good thing to encounter a financing crisis just after it is put into production. Moreover, the Fang family now has CMM Company for its demand for iron ore.

With the two major guarantees of China and Haiping Mining Company, the need for iron ore is no longer so urgent.

So Fang Mingyuan was a little hesitant, but when he saw Nikolaski's nervous look, Fang Mingyuan's heart moved and he made an instant decision. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
