How important is the strategic position of the long, long, long Inner Mongolia? Many mineral resources rank first, and some are among the best!


Recently, energy consumption dual control and power restriction have been very prominent, and the coal market was once out of stock. With the increasing shortage of coal, the National Development and Reform Commission has started to implement long-term contracts for power generation and heating since September to ensure coal for people's livelihood. Among them, 72 coal mines in Inner Mongolia have increased their annual production by nearly 100 million tons, which has to some extent solved the current urgent need for coal.

 

.. Let's take a look at how rich the mineral resources of Inner Mongolia, which is known as "East Forest, West Mining, South Agriculture and North Animal Husbandry", are, and why it can still support the logistics support of coal for people's livelihood in the case of ** coal shortage!

** Coal shortage, Inner Mongolia urgently "supports"

 

There is a new breakthrough in the increase of coal mine capacity. On October 7, the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau issued a document, clearly allowing 72 coal mines in Xilingol, Wuhai, Ordos and Hulunbuir to expand coal production capacity and organize production according to the increased capacity from now on.

 

This "Emergency Notice on Accelerating the Release of Some Coal Mine Production Capacity" shows that a total of 72 coal mines in Inner Mongolia have been included in the "List of Potential for Increased Production Capacity", with a total planned capacity increase of 98.35 million tons/year. Among them, non-enterprise coal mines must complete the relevant procedures for capacity increase before the end of October. The increased capacity is 55.11% of the original annual production capacity of the 72 coal mines.

How rich are the mineral resources in Inner Mongolia

Various mineral resources rank first!

Some are at the forefront

 

Inner Mongolia has a straight-line distance of more than 2,400 kilometers from east to west, with a vast territory, connecting eight provinces internally and Russia and Mongolia externally, and a national border of 4,221 kilometers. It is not only the first line of defense of my country's border, but also my country's mineral granary. The strategic position of resource reserves is crucial. From the confirmation of coal shortage in this case, the increase in coal mine production capacity in Inner Mongolia can be seen!

 

Inner Mongolia is rich in mineral resources. At present, among the more than 140 minerals that have been identified, 128 types of minerals have been discovered, of which 56 are ranked in the top ten in terms of reserves, 78 are proven reserves, 22 are ranked in the top three, and 7 are ranked first in the world. In particular, coal is located in the concentrated area of ​​open-pit mines in northern my country, and its reserves are extremely rich.

 

1 A place where new minerals are discovered in my country

Inner Mongolia is a mineral resource-rich area. The 134 proven minerals account for 78% of the minerals discovered in the world; 87 minerals have been identified with certain resource reserves, accounting for 50% of the minerals with proven resource reserves in the world, and 28 minerals have resource reserves ranked in the top three in the world, and 66 minerals have preserved resource reserves ranked in the top ten in the world. The per capita possession of 20 minerals is more than twice that of the world, and the potential economic value of mineral resources is 13.4 trillion yuan.

Since 1958, China has obtained more than 50 new minerals recognized by the government, 10 of which were found in Inner Mongolia, including barium iron titanite, Baotou mine, Yellow River mine, Suolun stone, mercury lead mine, Xing'an stone, Daqingshan mine, Xilin Gol mine, Erlian stone, and Bayan Obo mine.


2 The largest rare earth mine in China

The Bayan Obo mine in Baotou, Inner Mongolia is the largest rare earth mine in China. By 1997, the proven reserves of rare earth oxides accounted for 76% of the total rare earth reserves in China. The mine contains 172 kinds of minerals, which is the mine with the most mineral types in China.

The Bayan Obo mining area contains rare earth minerals accounting for more than 41% of the total proven reserves in China, as well as 175 kinds of mineral resources such as iron, niobium, manganese, phosphorus, and fluorite. It is a well-known "rare earth capital" in China.



3 China's Largest Uranium Mine

The uranium exploration in Daying area in central Inner Mongolia invested and implemented by the National Geological Exploration Fund has made a major breakthrough, and the largest in-situ leachable sandstone uranium deposit in China has been discovered.

Whether the uranium reserves can meet my country's future nuclear power demand has always been a concern for the industry. Relevant data show that each million-kilowatt unit consumes about 160-180 tons of uranium per year.

Even if the total installed capacity of nuclear power is 60 million kilowatts by 2020, it will consume more than 10,000 tons of uranium per year.

According to the nuclear power development plan that has been issued, uranium resource security is crucial. The breakthrough in Daying uranium mine is a milestone in the formation of a new pattern of uranium resource supply in my country.



4 China's Largest Metallic Germanium Mine

It is not gold, but better than gold. This is the unfamiliar rare metal germanium.

Metallic germanium is a typical scattered metal, and its resources are relatively scarce; China has discovered about 35 germanium deposits with a proven reserve of about 3,500 tons.

my country's proven germanium reserves are mainly distributed in 12 regions. Among non-ferrous metals, Guangdong, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Shanxi, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces have relatively large reserves, accounting for about 96% of the country's total germanium reserves.

The ..-type germanium deposit discovered in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia in 1999 has a reserve of more than 1,600 tons, accounting for 30% of the country's proven total reserves. It is currently China's largest coal-germanium symbiotic deposit. This new discovery has made China's rare element germanium resources leap to the forefront.

5... the largest "open-pit coal mine" town

Inner Mongolia is the largest "open-pit coal mine" town. It has rich coal resources, wide distribution, large reserves, shallow burial, easy to develop, and a full range of coal types. It is an important energy security base in China.

Among the major planned mining areas announced in 2016, a total of 162 coal mining areas were shortlisted, of which Inner Mongolia occupied 42 mining areas, accounting for 26%, ranking first.

Among them, the Huolinhe Coal Mine is the earliest modern open-pit coal mine built in China; the Jungar Coalfield is the largest open-pit coalfield in China; the Dongsheng Coalfield and the Shenfu Coalfield in Shaanxi are collectively called the Dongsheng-Shenfu Coalfield, which is one of the seven largest coalfields in China.

6 Super-large graphite mine

The Chahanmuhulu Graphite Mine in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia has created a miracle of large-scale graphite prospecting in Inner Mongolia and even in the world.

According to the geological report, the mine has proven graphite resources of about 130 million tons, with an average grade of 5.45%, and a mineral volume of more than 7 million tons. It is a large-scale mine, accounting for about 7.3% of China's recoverable reserves and about 10.2% of domestic recoverable reserves.

According to rock and mineral identification, 99.8% of the graphite flakes in the entire mining area are greater than 100 mesh, and the quality of large graphite flakes is...

The only country with this large scale is Madagascar in Africa, but the graphite reserves of Chahanmuhulu are 7 times the largest reserves of Madagascar, which is a rare graphite resource.



7 Lead, zinc, silver and other mineral resources are extremely rare.

Inner Mongolia is rich in mineral resources and is known as "forest in the east, iron in the west, grain in the south, pasture in the north, and mineral deposits everywhere".
