Bulgaria is part of the „Golden Triangle“
Tanya Harizanova
According to experts, the Bulgarian territory has more than 60 gold deposits. In evaluations, etc. helium cards, registering the presence of precious metals, Bulgaria has more than 13 thousand tons of gold resource. Specialists have estimated that the deposits of the yellow metal in the bowels of Bulgaria are worth over 150 billion euros. According to data from scientists from BAS, our country has the largest stock of gold in Europe. „Bulgaria is part of the“ golden triangle „of“ the golden string, starting from the largest producer of the precious metal in the world – South Africa, „said Prof. Dr. Emil Minev of Sciences and argued:
„Here it comes. Areas which are determined by helium card are part of a fault running from South Africa who has been following the splitting of the crust. It passes through the equator, Egypt, the Nile valley, still in the Sinai peninsula, Asia Minor and is divided into two parts around the Black Sea. One of the faults had gone up in the region of Caucasus, the other has gone to the Balkans. The last area of the „Golden Triangle“ is with us to the Black Sea, where a golden girdle. This is about the same overall geological structure that carries gold. The other structure is already in Alaska. “
Gold Rush in our land actually goes by the Thracians, who first acquire the gold mining area in the Eastern Rhodopes. Legend has it that the mountain was „gold mine“ of the Balkan Peninsula, and the first golden treasures of the Mycenaean civilization that is made of precious metal extracted there. Associate Professor Minev explained that the Thracians were easily mined gold, because it was close to the earth’s crust. With the digging of galleries in these places, the Romans first place gold mining on an industrial basis.
Gold rush again covers the region in 21 century. Seeking salvation from the crisis, several companies have received permission from a few days ago the Ministry of Environment and Water to extract gold ore from mines near the town of Kardjali and Krumovgrad in the Eastern Rhodopes. New Klondike was a gold digger and the Sofia region. Again began working gold mine in Chelopech near the capital. According to drafts of the extraction of gold investors could reach up to 10 tons per year. This is not surprising because the region is famous for its gold deposits.
„There are data showing that during socialism in Copper works in the area have produced seven or eight tons of gold, but this was not mentioned among the general public – recalls Prof. Emil Minev. – People who worked in the factory, remember the rooms full of gold bullion. “
„Hit of the season“ was about Sofia again, this time in the west of the town of Pernik. According to Prof. Emil Minev, Pernik rests on 950 tons of gold. It showed old geological surveys, secret in 1997 to nearly 22 square kilometers. land will be used for three years in search of the yellow metal.
Gold Rush includes not only Bulgaria but also global markets. The yellow metal rose to a record price of more than 1095 dollars an ounce / troy ounce /. The main reason is unclear prospects for the global economy. Despite the positive signals out of a recession, investors remained reserved to them and switching to the old and tested method – the gold. Traders reacted like wildfire. Worked as a bait to the rich gold bullion customers offered for sale before the days of the British chain store Harrods.
What is the benefit of the gold rush to Bulgaria. „In our gold resource there in sufficient quantity,“ says Associate Professor Minev, and it can pull us out of this crisis! “
