The birth of the first 100 million tons of iron ore in Qinghai

Recently, the Non-ferrous Geological Prospecting Bureau of Qinghai Province has newly discovered five ore bodies in the Erlinge region of Golmud City, Haixi Province. The direction is about 200 meters in length and tends to be 100 meters to 450 meters in length. A total of apparent thickness was found in borehole magnetic anomalies. 217.36 meters of iron ore, the average thickness of iron ore body is 4.66 meters to 11.35 meters, the average grade of iron 43.16%, the new iron ore resources 62.924 million tons. The mine's iron ore resources are expected to accumulate to 170 million tons, ending the history of Qinghai Province with no 100 million tons of iron ore.

The exploration of the mineral resources in the Yulinge Mining Area is a major breakthrough in the prospecting work in Qinghai Province in recent years. It can effectively alleviate the shortage of iron ore supply in the Qaidam circular economy pilot area and the shortage of reserve resources for iron ore development. The development of the province's steel industry will play an important role in supporting and safeguarding resources.
