Scientists estimate the mining complex could yield 1 million tonnes of thorium if fully exploited, according to The South China Post, which obtained a declassified report of the survey.

The study has claimed that thorium resources in the country's mining waste 'remain totally untouched' and if properly extracted could be large enough to end the worldwide dependence on fossil fuels.

Researchers further allege that five years' worth of mining waste from an iron ore site in Inner Mongolia contains enough thorium to meet American energy demands for over 1,000 years.

The study identified 233 thorium-rich zones across the country and, if accurate, suggests that thorium reserves in China significantly exceed previous estimates.

China, which has started to build the world's first thorium molten salt nuclear power station, was previously believed to have enough thorium reserves to meet its energy needs for 20,000 years.

Next question. How does one recognize thorium? In what areas can it be found. How much processing has to be done before it can be used? How quickly can a demo be made to test it out. Like hey I’ve got thorium. What simple items can it be tested on for poc? Old cell phone? Light bulb? No. Don’t beat around the bush.

I mean its radioactive. Its probably a good idea to buy a gygometer:hubie:



Its also slightly less dense than uranium so its would be unusually dense for a rock its size.

Lowkey China are the leaders of civilization. The western world think they doing something because of hollywood propaganda.
china is over 4000 years old. theyve been leaders of civilization longer than they've not been. :francis:

but watching movies and news, you'd think the world has always revolved around the west
