Largest known rare earth deposit discovered in North Korea

北韓發現世界上最大稀土礦藏

Privately-held SRE Minerals on Wednesday announced the discovery in North Korea
of what is believed to be the largest deposit of rare earth elements anywhere in the world.

近日，一家私人公司(SRE Minerals)宣布在北韓發現至今世界上最大的稀土礦藏。

SRE also signed a joint venture agreement with the Korea Natural Resources Trading Corporation
for rights to develop REE deposits at Jongju in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea for
the next 25 years with a further renewal period of 25 years.

該公司同時也與北韓官方簽署了開發這個位於定州市的礦藏25年的協議，並有延長25年
的權利。

The joint venture company known as Pacific Century Rare Earth Mineral Limited,
based in the British Virgin Islands, has also been granted permission for a processing
plant on site at Jongju, situated approximately 150 km north-northwest of the capital of Pyongyang.

雙方合資的公司也獲得允許在定州市建設精煉廠，大約位於平壤以北150公里處。

The initial assessment of the Jongju target indicates a total mineralisation potential of 6 billion tonnes
 with total 216.2 million tonnes rare-earth-oxides including light REEs such as lanthanum,
cerium and praseodymium; mainly britholite and associated rare earth minerals. Approximately 2.66% of
the 216.2 million tonnes consists of more valuable heavy rare-earth-elements.

初步估計，定州市的礦藏大約有60億頓，其中有2.16億頓氧化稀土礦物包含鑭、鈰、鐠。
其他大部分是鈰磷灰石(britholite?)和其相關的稀土礦物。
2.16億頓氧化稀土礦物中大約有2.66%含有更有價值的稀土礦物。

According Dr Louis Schurmann, Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and lead scientist
on the project, the Jongju deposit is the world's largest known REE occurrence.

參與調查的科學家表示，定州市的礦藏是目前世界上已知的最大稀土礦藏。

The 216 million tonne Jongju deposit, theoretically worth trillions of dollars, would more than double
the current global known resource of REE oxides which according to the US Geological Survey is pegged
at 110 million tonnes.

這個有上兆美元的價值的新發現稀土礦藏比之前由美國地理調查局所測定的已知
稀土礦藏總量還要多出兩倍。

Minerals like fluorite, apatite, zircon, nepheline, feldspar, and ilmenite are seen as potential by-products
to the mining and recovery of REE at Jongju.

其他礦藏像是鋯石、長石等也可能隨著開發當做副產品產出。

Further exploration is planned for March 2014, which will includes 96,000m (Phase 1) and 120,000m (Phase 2)
of core drilling, with results reported according to the Australia's JORC Code, a standard for mineral
disclosure similar to Canada's widely used National Instrument 43-101.

更深入的探勘預定於2014年3月展開。

阿哩~ 不好意思 我打錯了 是"鈰"才對
