Sukhoi Log Mine
The Sukhoi Log is one of the largest gold reserves in Russia and in the world The reserve is located in Irkutsk Oblast and has estimated reserves of 64 million oz of gold, but has a low grade. Mining endeavours During the 1990s a proposal was made to mine Sukhoi Log by the semi-private Russian company Lenzoloto with the British Virgin Islands company Star Technology Systems (previously known as Green Applied Systems Limited). Funds toward the venture were raised from the Australian Stock Exchange company Star Mining (previously known as Central Mining Corporation, now Argonaut Resources). Various legal, bureaucratic and political problems delayed progress. Sukhoi Log was the subject of a special hearing held by the State Duma's Security Committee under the watchful gaze of hardline communist Viktor Ilyukhin to investigate threats to Russia's national security from this "shadowy" Australian company. The Australian company wrote off $127 million on the failed venture after Russia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gold
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from la, aurum) and atomic number 79. This makes it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. It is a bright, slightly orange-yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal in a pure form. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Gold often occurs in free elemental ( native state), as nuggets or grains, in rocks, veins, and alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum), naturally alloyed with other metals like copper and palladium, and mineral inclusions such as within pyrite. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides). Gold is resistant to most acids, though it does dissolve in aqua regia (a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid), forming a soluble tetrachloroaurate anion. Gold is ...
