Foreign media: China has discovered the largest underwater gold mine in Asia in the offshore area of the Jiaodong Peninsula, which is China's first discovery of an underwater gold mine. This discovery has made the proven gold reserves in Laizhou, Yantai, Shandong exceed 3,900 tons (approximately 137.57 million ounces), accounting for 26% of the national total, ranking first in China in terms of gold reserves and production.
Although the specific reserves of the underwater gold mine have not been disclosed, this discovery indicates that China's gold reserves may be much larger than previously estimated. Previously, China has also discovered several large gold mines, including a super-large low-grade gold mine in Liaoning, with reserves of 1,444.49 tons (approximately 50.95 million ounces), which is the largest single gold mine discovered in China since 1949; a gold mine near the Kunlun Mountains in Xinjiang, with reserves exceeding 1,000 tons (approximately 35.27 million ounces).
