Major gold reserves have been discovered in southeast China's Fujian province, according to local news website Taihainet.

The Fujian Geological Prospecting Bureau has verified the find in Dehua county after over a decade of research and investigation.

The mine is estimated to hold over 10 million tonnes of ores that may produce over 250,000 tonnes of gold. The discovery could also provide important clues for researchers to find other gold mines.
