The Xinjiang Hobuksai Mongolian Autonomous County recently announced that, following exploration by experts, 1 After more than a year of intensive efforts, the county has discovered Asia’s largest beryllium oxide ore deposit, with reserves estimated at approximately... 4 Ten thousand tons.

　　Beryllium is the lightest alkaline earth metal. It can form polymers as well as a class of covalent compounds with remarkable thermal stability. Beryllium is used to manufacture alloys for aircraft, X-ray tubes, beryllium-aluminum alloys, bronze, and raw materials for aerospace engines.

　　Xue Junqiang, Secretary of the County Party Committee of Bukerxier County, said that the newly discovered beryllium deposit is located in the Baiyang River area of the county. 2010 Detailed exploration of the beryllium deposit in the Heshihaxi Haligan area of Hobuksai County, Xinjiang, conducted annually, involving a total of drilling operations. 35000 Rice, exploration investment 3500 10,000 RMB, newly discovered beryllium oxide reserves 5000 ton. Currently, the reserves of oxidized beryllium have been brought under control. 4 Ten thousand tons.

　　Based on the current exploration results, it is expected that in the future... 3 To 5 New prospective reserves of beryllium oxide could be added within the year. 10000 More than one ton. Expert analysis indicates that this beryllium ore body is located near the contact zone between a subvolcanic rock body and Permian terrestrial volcanic rocks. The ore body has a large extent and is accompanied by industrial minerals such as uranium.

　　Xue Junqiang said that currently, mineral resources have been identified in Bukerxier County. 30 The reserves of various mineral resources all reach hundreds of millions or even billions of tons, and their quality is exceptionally high. The discovery of this beryllium deposit not only enriches the theory of ore formation in volcanic rocks but also fills a gap in beryllium deposit exploration. The development of this deposit will effectively alleviate China’s current shortage of beryllium resources and establish it as a major reserve base for beryllium resources in China.

　　Hobuksai Mongolian Autonomous County is located on the northwestern edge of the Junggar Basin in China. It boasts prominent geographical and resource advantages and is situated near Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. 500 Multiple kilometers.
