Guizhou's new phosphate rock resources amounted to nearly 550 million tons

The Ministry of Land and Resources reported on November 25 that the newly added phosphate rock resources in the Kaiyang region of Guizhou Province were nearly 550 million tons, of which 350 million tons were rich in phosphorite with a grade above 30%. He Gang, director of the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Exploration of Guizhou Province, said that the actual amount of phosphate rock in Guizhou Province is expected to rise to the No. 1 nationwide.

It is understood that the total investment of the phosphate rock exploration project in Kaiyang area reached 100 million yuan, led by the 105 geological team of the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, and the main attacker is phosphate rock, accompanied by aluminum, nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium. Mineral exploration and evaluation. The project was launched in December 2012. Through the exploration in the past two years, three new phosphorite deposits have been discovered, including two large-scale phosphorus deposits and one medium-sized phosphate deposit. The newly-added phosphate rock resources amounted to 550 million tons. At the same time, the project team also discovered a medium-sized molybdenum deposit. The amount of molybdenum metal was 44.82 thousand tons; in addition, the amount of fluorine resources was 130 million tons. At present, the entire exploration area has been upgraded to a state-level integrated exploration area.

It is worth mentioning that the Feng San block and the Xinzhai block in the Kaiyang Prospecting Area were previously considered to be non-mine areas. Through this investigation, the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of Geology and Minerals has newly discovered the above two blocks. The phosphorus-forming basin also made us have a new understanding of the phosphorous environment of phosphate rock, which will surely further expand China's space for phosphorus.

According to information from the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, since the implementation of the ore-breaking breakthrough strategy in China, the newly discovered phosphate rock resources in Guizhou Province has exceeded 7 billion tons. The actual amount of phosphate rock resources is expected to exceed Hubei and become the country’s first phosphate mineral resources. Great province.
