Introduction: 2014 In the past year, China’s non-metallic mineral sector maintained overall economic stability and achieved steady progress amid structural adjustments. However, it still faced downward pressure. While output of some mineral types increased, performance varied significantly across different mineral categories. Inventory levels rose, product prices remained stable, and exports saw a slight increase. Rising domestic production and manufacturing costs, coupled with declining export prices, have had varying degrees of impact on the import and export of non-metallic minerals.

2014 Annual operating revenue of non-metallic mineral mining and beneficiation enterprises 2787 100 million yuan, up year-on-year 18% Total profit 183 100 million yuan, up year-on-year 9%。

 

 

I. Analysis of Production and Sales of Major Mineral Products

 

1 Fluorite

China is an important producer, consumer, and exporter of fluorite. Fluorite resources are distributed... 20 In several provinces and regions, fluorite production this year is concentrated primarily in areas with relatively abundant resources, according to the allocation issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 2014 Notice on the Annual Fluorite Production Total Control Plan, in 18 Among the provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions currently in production, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Inner Mongolia, and Hunan account for the planned total volume. 78.7% , Other 13 This province or region accounts for only a small portion of the total. 21.3% 。

Current nationwide fluorite mining capacity 1900 Ten thousand tons / Year. Fluorite beneficiation capacity 900 Ten thousand tons (of refined powder)—over the past three years, fluorite production has been gradually aligning with market demand. Governments at all levels have stepped up their crackdown on illegal and non-compliant activities such as unlicensed mining, clandestine mining, and theft. The severe market conditions and high cost pressures have forced a large number of mines to temporarily shut down. According to... 2011 By year-end, the total number of fluorite mines of various economic types nationwide is... 1255 individual, affiliated with 986 an enterprise, as of 2013 By the end of the year, the number of mines had dropped to... 1028 Individual, belonging to 700 an enterprise. Production has also continued to decline, 2011 The national total output reached 655 Ten thousand tons, 2012 Year for 420 Ten thousand tons, 2013 Year for 395 Ten thousand tons, this year 1-12 Month 410 Ten thousand tons, actual sales approximately 390 Ten thousand tons. Increased year-on-year. 15 Ten thousand tons.

2 Graphite

According to association statistics, the nation's current graphite mining capacity is... 1200 10,000 tons, ore dressing production capacity 120 Ten thousand tons, 2013 Annual graphite production 54 Ten thousand tons, with output accounting for capacity. 45% This year 1-12 The monthly production for the entire Heilongjiang Province is approximately... 42 Ten thousand tons, Shandong 15 Ten thousand tons, Inner Mongolia region 3 Ten thousand tons, other regions 5 Ten thousand tons. Annual output 65 Around 10,000 tons; an increase compared to last year. 11 Ten thousand tons. The main reasons are as follows:

( 1 This year, the ore in the Luobei area of Heilongjiang Province has excellent selectivity, resulting in a significant increase in mineral processing recovery rates.

( 2 ) Graphite prices have risen compared to last year, and companies have increased their supply volumes.

( 3 ) Increased demand in the refractory materials industry

3 Talc

According to the association's statistics this year, 1-12 The production and sales situation of talc from Liaoning region's lump ore is as follows: 45.18 Ten thousand tons, powder 68.14 Ten thousand tons, block ore from the Guangxi region 23.81 Ten thousand tons, powder 29.65 Ten thousand tons, Shandong Province block 1.5 Ten thousand tons, powder 38.15 Ten thousand tons—the total national production of talc blocks. 70.50 Ten thousand tons, talc powder 136.49 Ten thousand tons, sales 138.81 Ten thousand tons. Produced in other regions. 10 Ten thousand tons. Annual output 220 Around 10,000 tons, an increase compared to the previous year. 20 Ten thousand tons.

4 Kaolin

Domestic soft-grade kaolin is primarily concentrated in the Suzhou area of Jiangsu Province, Maoming and Zhanjiang in Guangdong Province, and Longyan in Fujian Province. Hard-grade calcined kaolin is mainly concentrated in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia. 2014 Year 1-12 Month, annual output is in 360 10,000 tons, an increase over the previous year. 30 Around 10,000 tons—there won't be any new increase in demand for kaolin used in the petrochemical industry. Demand for kaolin in the coatings industry will see some growth. The domestic papermaking market, which currently relies on domestic kaolin, will increasingly be dominated by foreign markets. Meanwhile, the use of kaolin in fertilizers and pesticides will continue to rise. , Other industries will maintain a generally unchanged trend.
