Reporter 7 Moon 20 It was learned today that the Seventh Geological Team of the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Geological Exploration has preliminarily discovered in Qingyuan County the province’s first large-scale rare-earth mineral deposit with industrial exploitation potential, with predicted resource reserves exceeding... 10 Ten thousand tons.
Xia Baolong, Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress, issued instructions on the “Report on the Preliminary Discovery of Our Province’s First Large-Scale Rare Earth Deposit” submitted by the Provincial Geological Exploration Bureau. “ My condolences to the comrades of the Seventh Detachment. I hope you’ll keep up the good work and continue to deliver more outstanding news! ” Vice Governor Wang Xuming issued instructions pointing out that, “ The Seventh Team of the Provincial Geological Exploration Bureau has discovered our province’s first large-scale rare-earth deposit, a discovery of great significance that will provide an extremely important resource guarantee for the development of high-tech and cutting-edge industries across the province. This achievement is the result of years of hard work and dedication by all members of the Seventh Team, who have been deeply rooted in the remote mountains. It is truly cause for joy and celebration. ”。
It is understood that the Zhejiang Team 7 project group has, since... 2013 Year 8 Since entering the mining area in Qingyuan County, we have completed sampling drilling as of now. 9000 Rice, sample testing and analysis 9000 Multiple occurrences. The acceptance inspection of the fieldwork phase of the general survey and evaluation indicates that the discovered rare-earth deposits are of the weathered crust ion-adsorption type. The rare-earth minerals are predominantly hosted in granite weathering crusts, with mineralized thicknesses exceeding several meters and relatively high grades.
During the mine site acceptance, Chen Yuchuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out: “ The discovery of Zhejiang’s first large-scale ion-adsorption rare-earth deposit with industrial value marks a new milestone in Zhejiang’s geological and mineral history and is of great significance. ” Dr. Wang Denghong, a researcher at the Institute of Mineral Deposit Resources of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, stated during the acceptance inspection of the mining area: “ At 1000 At an altitude of around meters and at such a latitude, it’s not easy to find a large ion-adsorption-type rare-earth deposit with a weathered crust. ”
According to a relevant official from Zhejiang Team No. 7, the rare-earth deposits recently discovered are primarily characterized by low-yttrium, medium-europium light rare earths, with some being low-yttrium, high-europium light rare earths and a small number belonging to the medium-yttrium, high-europium light rare earth type. The key elements found in these deposits can be widely used in fields such as national defense, military industry, aerospace, nuclear energy, metallurgy, petrochemicals, glass and ceramics, leather dyeing, and fertilizer production.
