China's new discovery of super-large-scale rare earth ore in Yunnan Province
Recently, the reporter learned from the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources that China has discovered a super-large-scale ion adsorption rare earth mine in the Honghe area of Yunnan Province.
This discovery of super-large-scale ion adsorption rare earth ore, potential resources of 1.15 million tons, of which, praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium, terbium and other key rare earth elements more than 470,000 tons, this is the first discovery of ion adsorption rare earth ore in 1969 in Jiangxi after another major breakthrough, and is expected to become China's largest medium and heavy rare earth deposits.
The discovery of ion adsorption type rare earth ore is mainly for the medium and heavy rare earth ore, China's medium and heavy rare earth resources are scarce, the application field is more extensive, is a new energy, national defense and security essential key raw materials, but also the development of high-tech industries, the key metal. Next, the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources will continue to increase the investigation and evaluation efforts to further expand China's rare earths in the Red River area of Yunnan in the medium and heavy rare earths mineral search results.
