Economic information

Comments on the geologic information

  • ; GRAPHITE, KAOLINE, ILLITE, QUARTZ, PYRITE, CHALCOPYRITE (TRACE); AMORPHOUS GRAPHITE FROM COAL SEAMS CONTACT METAMORPHIC ALTERATION NEAR GRANITE INTRUSION. 11 SEAMS OF COAL OR GRAPHITE ARE KNOWN WITHIN THE LUOPING FORMATION; 4 SEAMS ARE BEING CONSIDERED AS TECHNICALLY ECONOMICALLY INTERESTING I.E. WORKABLE
  • ; GEOL. DESCRIPTIONS LACKING. IN THE EARLY 1940ES GRAPHITE DEPOSITS WERE DISCOVERED AND DEVELOPED. AS THESE DEPOSITS GRADED AT 84 % FC AND CONSIDERING THE RELATIVELY BIG RESOURCE, IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE GRAPHITE IS OF AMORPHOUS TYPE

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • WORKABLE RESOURCES IN THE ORDER OF 10-12 MILLION TONNES HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED DURING CURRENT EXPLORATION
  • HIGH GRADE ORE, SUITABLE FOR SURFACE OPERATION, LARGEST GRAPHITE DEPOSIT EVER FOUND IN CHINA

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (ROCK-MECHANICS, TOPOGRAPHY;). DEVELOPMENT(YES); EXPLORATION(YES); EXPLORATION SHALL BE FINISHED BY 1988. LUTANG GRAPHITE AT PRESENT IS BEING USED IN FOUNDRY APPLICATIONS, AS CARBON RAISER, FOR PENSIL PRODUCTION, FOR BATTERIES. ABOUT 60 % OF THE ORES GRADING AT 80 % FC OR MORE. TYPICAL ORE GRADES: 68-81 % C; 2.1-4.7 % VOLATILES; 0.2-3.6 % SULFUR; 0.9-4.0 % H2O; 14.9-28.9 % ASH. CHEM. COMPOSITION OF ASH: 47.2 % SIO2; 29.3 % AL2O3; 6.6 % FE2O3; 5.8 % CAO; <0.005 % P; TIO2 + MGO + K2O +NA2O; BALANCE DRILLHOLES, TRENCHES, ADITS
  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. ().

Deposit THIS RECORD WAS COMPILED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIC MINERALS INVENTORY. THE DATA WERE USED IN PREPARATION OF THE USGS CIRCULAR 930 SERIES OF REPORTS. MINERAL RESOURCE CATEGORIES AND CODES HEREIN ARE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM RECOMMENDED BY THE UNITED NATIONS GROUP OF EXPERTS ON DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY FOR MINERAL RESOURCES.

MAINLY PRODUCING AMORPHOUS OR MICROCRYSTALLINE GRAPHITE. MAIN PRODUCTION AT THAT TIME WAS IN HELONGJIANG AND HONAN PROVINCES. HELONGJIANG-PRODUCTION IN 1944 WAS 12000 TONNES, 510 TONNES WERE PRODUCED 1933 IN HONAN-DEPOSITS CHENHSIEN-DEPOSIT/HUNAN PROVINCE PRODUCED 300 TONNES IN 1940. A LARGE GRAPHITE MINE (RESOURCES ESTIMATED 1 MILLION TONNES OF 84 % FC ORE) WAS DEVELOPED IN 1940 NEAR YENTUNGHAN/KIRIN-PROVINCE (43 DEG 17'N; 125 DEG 59'E) AT PRESENT MAJOR PORTION OF CRYSTALLINE

CHINESE GRAPHITE RESOURCES ARE ESTIMATED AS FOLLOWS (MIMIMUM ESTIMATES) R1+R2: 227 MILLION TONNES OF ORE (SEE FOR SHANDONG) CRYSTALLINE GRAPHITE ORE R1E AMORPHOUS GRAPHITE 300 MILLION TONNES (JIXI) WHICH EQUALS R1E. ESTIMATED PRC GRAPHITE PRODUCTION IN 1983 WAS 185000 TONNES, IT IS ASSUMED THAT THIS QUANTITY CONTAINS CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF ROM-ORE
