gold ore

Geologists have discovered a huge gold deposit estimated at more than 1,000 tonnes, worth a total of about $83 billion, in Hunan province, central China.

The block of gold found by two British people more than 100 years ago in Victoria weighs 72kg, is 0.6 meters long and nearly 0.3 meters wide.

Gold is a transition metal that is soft, flexible, easily laminated and does not react with most chemicals.

Rare natural gold ore, like a Chinese map and weighing nearly 8kg, was discovered by a cattle raiser in Xinjiang autonomous area.
