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.). ?UNDERGROUND 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-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 1940NEAR YENTUNGHAN/KIRIN-PROVINCE (43 DEG 17'N; 125 DEG 59'E) AT PRESENT MAJOR PORTION OF CRYSTALLINE GRAPHITE PRODUCTION IS FROM |

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 |
