New Gold Provinces in China?

[Backpfeifengesicht]

I was doing a recent playthrough as Bengal and I noticed something odd-- apparently two new gold producing provinces came into existence in China?

Image 1 shows what China looks like in 1444, and images 2 and 3 show the new gold provinces, one in Tibet and one in Mongolia (Taozhou and Chahar respectively). I don't run any mods besides a cosmetic map mod, and I am dying to know how more gold provinces can spawn in non-colonial provinces. Ming did collapse in this game, and I noticed these provinces starting from the mid 1600s or so. Is it possible that these provinces are somehow related to some Chinese rebel tags? If I recall correctly Shun owned both those provinces at some point, maybe that has something to do with it?

A forum and wiki trawl has turned up no info on new gold provinces in China, so any info on how and why this happened would be awesome

It's form the event "gold mine discovered" available for the emperor of China.

Ah okay, that makes sense! I didn't mention that I have Mandate of Heaven, so since the emperor doesn't have factions I guess that means that only the Chinese rebel tags get this event?

The faction condition in the event is only used without the mandate of heaven DLC. With the DLC, the country has to be the emperor of china and needs 70
meritocracy.

Awesome, thanks!
