Chinese geologists just uncovered a gold deposit so massive, it’s turning heads in the mining world. Early reports hint at billions in untapped value buried deep beneath northeastern soil.
Chinese geologists have announced the discovery of a massive gold deposit in the northeastern province of Liaoning, describing it as an “easy to mine” reserve. The site is estimated to contain about 1,000 tonnes of gold, a find that follows closely on the heels of another high-value discovery made just months ago in Hunan province.
These back-to-back breakthroughs are credited to China’s advancements in mineral prospecting technology, which researchers say are now allowing for deeper, more targeted exploration across the country’s mineral-rich regions.
A Gold-Rich Zone in Liaoning
According to British newspaper the Independent, the newly identified deposit in Liaoning stretches across more than 3 kilometers from east to west and 2.5 kilometers from north to south, according to local reports. The full extent of the site was recently detailed in China Mining Magazine, where scientists from the geological survey team explained that every construction drilling hole at the site has yielded ore.
This signals a high concentration of gold and raises expectations for a high recovery rate once mining operations begin. Researchers credited their success to a 2024 exploration strategy that combined both general and detailed methods to maximize detection efficiency.
Momentum from Earlier Hunan Discovery
This announcement comes shortly after another striking revelation in November 2024, when geologists reported uncovering an estimated $80 billion worth of gold in the Wangu goldfield located in Hunan province. According to the Hunan Provincial Geological Institute, 40 gold-bearing veins were discovered around a mile below the surface.
The Hunan Geological Bureau projected that these veins alone could yield around 300 tonnes of gold, and potentially more as drilling continues deeper. In total, experts believe that over 1,000 tonnes could be extracted from this site alone.
Following this discovery, local geologists described the find as “significant in helping safeguard the country’s resource security,” underscoring China’s strategic focus on self-reliance and economic insulation amid global uncertainties.

Strategic Role of Gold in China’s Economy
While China already ranks as the world’s largest gold producer, generating nearly 380 tonnes in 2024, its confirmed gold reserves still lag behind those of South Africa and Australia. Discoveries like the ones in Liaoning and Hunan could help the country close that gap and strengthen its position in the global gold market.
Gold plays a critical role in stabilizing economies, particularly during times of global financial turbulence. It is also essential to the manufacturing of batteries and electronics, sectors that are key to China’s long-term industrial plans.
Questions over Verification and Feasibility
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding these finds, not everyone is convinced of their viability. Experts, including geologists from the World Gold Council, have raised doubts about both the accuracy of the volume estimates and the feasibility of mining these resources in the near term. They emphasize the need for independent verification and caution that turning these deposits into operational gold mines could take several years.
The discoveries, while potentially transformative, remain subject to further geological validation and economic assessment. For now, they serve as a showcase of China’s growing capabilities in mineral detection and exploration — and a reminder of the high stakes involved in the global race for natural resources.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It’s easy because they don’t have the EPA and Climutt Chainz people barking at them not to mine it because of the Mongolian sand flea.
As the price of gold rises—more gold deposits become profitable to mine.
For places like nevada and alaska—the rising price of gold will cause a gold rush.

Hard to take them at Face Value...
Wars have consequences.
Dam Truman , Acheson and yes even Marshall and all the deep state/commies in the State Department . Those Dems created the greatest foreign affairs fiasco in our history.
One we keep paying for again and again. Just as these gold reserves will go straight into evil communist hands to make more nukes and or bio weapons to use against us.
Korea
Vietnam
Taiwan????
As someone else said only democrats could have allowed a billion strong capitalistic ally to turn into our most hateful enemy in a matter of a few years.
Let’s see the gold.
If the gold is real, they probably sat knowing about it for fifty years, while they proceeded to buy up the world’s supply.
I don’t believe a single thing that the Chinese government says. Nothing.
With the entire world’s Central Banks buying tons of Gold, due to the Basel III Banking Agreement going into effect 1 July, 25, it is easy to see who becomes a financial super power……President Trump did recently state those with the Gold, make the rules.
Adding to that, with the 2,000 tons of Gold that was brought back into the US the past two months, I do believe he is aware of our precarious position. He had better audit our Gold reserves and step up domestic Gold production.

“….. Smith revealed an unprecedented physical gold movement into the US, estimating over 2,000 tons in the past 7-8 week…..”
Verified by many sources, the only uncertainty is why? Does Ft Knox have the Gold? Or has it been brought in to replenish our Comex Gold reserves which has been drained dry ( default) by arbitrage?
We shall see.
China wouldn't lie!
Would they?
If the gold is real, they probably sat knowing about it for fifty years, while they proceeded to buy up the world’s supply.

During a job down in Colombia, outside of Cucuta, the Gold mine there was shipping the gold ore to China, thus bypassing the international Gold reporting requirements….that was a decade ago.
Shechman, and others well informed on the situation state China holds upwards of 40,000 tons…to our declared 8,100 tons.China has been acquiring Gold quietly for at least a decade.
“Shechman, and others well informed on the situation state China holds upwards of 40,000 tons”
Last week it was 32.5. Now it is 40. Next week? 55?
Should Elon buy it?
The why is Shechman (sp) selling gold?
“Was this before or after your time in the federal pen?
**** correction, I was in Caucasia when I witnessed the Gold dore being shipped to China….I did acquire some gorgeous Muzo emeralds from the Boyaca area tho….and some nice hard to find crystalline Gold pieces from the Caucasia region.
There. Fixed....
