PFFT— Su Chen, who had just taken a sip of coffee, sprayed it everywhere. A look of sheer astonishment flashed across his face as he stared intently at Xiao Chen.
"What did you just say? One ton of raw rubidium ore is worth six hundred million US dollars?" Su Chen thought of that massive mountain, wondering how many tons of raw rubidium ore could be mined from it.
According to what Team Leader Li had said earlier, one ton of ore contained at least one to two kilograms of rubidium. That meant you only needed to mine five hundred tons of ore to get one ton of rubidium—and that didn't even include the gold within the ore.
After all, the rubidium was just a byproduct; the gold content was much higher. But when you compared a ton of gold to a ton of rubidium, the difference was night and day!
At current market prices, a ton of gold was worth about six to seven hundred million in Huaxia currency. Compared to the rubidium, it was several times less valuable!
