Chinese geologists have found a gold mine with an estimated deposit of 16 tons in northeast China' s Jilin Province.

Located in Liuhe District of Huadian City, the gold mine covers about 100 square kilometers. Scientists are carrying out further surveys in the area, as they are convinced its total gold deposit should top 100 tons.

"Discovery of the gold mine will relieve the shortage of resources in Huadian city, a traditional gold production base," said Sun Baotian, chief engineer with the provincial geological survey bureau for non-ferrous metals.

The gold rush in Huadian city started over 180 years ago.

This ought to give those chinese reserves a boost. Digging for oil in the Northwest, gold in the Northeast.

They're communist aren't they??

Don't they repress their people, and make them get abortions? I think they're godless peoples. Wouldn't it be nice to make them into a "democracy"? Don't they torture and kill their own citizens?

And I'll bet they supported some terra ists once...

(gold, did you say? Lots of it?)
