A huge gold deposit worth 80 billion dollars found in China

One of the largest gold deposits ever found, valued at an estimated 80 billion dollars, has been discovered by scientists in China. This extraordinary gold reserve was unearthed in Pingjiang County, in the province of Hunan. A staggering 40 gold veins have been identified, containing approximately 300 tons of gold hidden 2,000 meters below the surface.

Following this discovery, researchers have begun digging even deeper—down to 3,000 meters—in hopes of finding even more gold. According to experts, one gold vein contains 138 grams of gold per ton of minerals.

To locate the deposit, scientists used 3D geological modeling technology, which allowed them to map the area and identify the most gold-rich zones. With this discovery, Hunan province could soon become one of the world’s leading gold markets.
