  • IT IS NOT CLEAR WHEATER THESE DATA REFER TO NANSHU OR TO ALL SHANDONG DEPOSITS I.E. BAI-SHU, VANDANG
  • R1E + R1M/S + R2E/S. ASSUMING RECOVERY RATE OF 87 % (ZHAOYANG) MAKES 8.9 MILLION TONNES RECOVERABLE RESOURCES.

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). DEVELOPMENT(YES); EXPLORATION(UNKNOWN); NANSHU OPERATION IS AN OPEN-PIT (LENGTH ABOUT 600 M, WIDTH ABOUT 300 M). ROM-ORES CONTAIN 4-5 % FC VANDANG OPERATIONS WERE BEING DEVELOPED IN 1984 (REMOVAL OF OVERBURDEN). SHANDONG-OPERATIONS PRODUCE CONCENTRATES 75-99 % FC, FLAKES AND POWDERS CRYSTALLITE SIZES BETWEEN PLUS 50 MESH AND MINUS 325 MESH
  • 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. (SEE NATIONAL RESOURCES FORUM, V. 4, NO. 3, P. 307-313.). SURFACE MILLING FLOTATION AT LEAST 28 GRAPHITE DEPOSITS WERE KNOWN ABOUT 1945 IN CHINA. MAINLY PRODUCING AMORPHOUS OR MICROCRYSTALLINE GRAPHITE. MAIN PRODUCTION AT THAT TIME WAS IN HELONGJIANG AND HONAN PROVINCES. HELONGJIANG-PPRODUCTION 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 GRAPHITE
Deposit PRODUCTION IS FROM SHANDONG DEPOSITS MAIN AMORPHOUS GRAPHITE PRODUCTION OCCURS IN HELONGJIANG. 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
