The Dadonggou deposit, located in northeast China's Liaoning Province, holds an estimated 1,444.49 tonnes of gold within 2.586 billion tonnes of ore, with an average grade of 0.56 grams per tonne. Although low-grade, the sheer scale of this find makes it the largest single gold deposit discovered since 1949 and significantly boosts China's gold reserves.
