“...and it wasn’t found where you’d expect.”
I wouldn’t expect it anywhere else but in some fifth world backwater.

There are deposits of minerals all over the world. The big question, alluded to in this article is:
Can they be extracted for a lower cost than they are worth on the market?

“With the scale of the discovery comes the need for careful environmental oversight.”
If you lock up any environmentalists that problem goes away quickly!

I'm not a geologist. Why should I have not expected it there?

Typical time for a mining operation from discovery to harvesting is usually ten years, but that is in the West, where rules,regulations, and financing get in the way.

I believe that 19 tons equals 38,000 pounds - which works out to $2.067b in gold, assuming a price of $3400 an ounce.
Just over 2 billion dollars is a lot of money but when you consider all the worlds gold can fit in a Olympic sized swimming pool, that's just over 23 trillion dollars, that only represents about .00086% of the world's gold.

Oh, good. They found my property. I forgot where I left that thing.

It appears to be between Qarazhal, and Aqadyr. A long way from any substantial infrastructure.
