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

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 IN 1981 INDIA'S GRAPHITE PRODUCTION (72796 TONNES ROM-ORE; 20200 TONNES OF MARKETABLE CONCENTRATES) ORIGINATED FROM 44 OPERATIONS OWNED BY 34 PRODUCERS, IN 5 STATES. STATE/NUMBER OF OPERATIONS/PORTION (%) OF ROM-ORE: ANDHRA PRADESH/10/1; BIHAR/7/34; GUJARAT/1/04; ORISSA/25/63; TAMIL NADU/1/1. SEVEN PRODUCERS WORKING 16 OPERATIONS DELIVERED 92 % OF 1981 ROM-ORE-PRODUCTION. NO PRODUCTION FIGURE FOR RAJASTHAN-STATE WAS REPORTED IN 1981. RESOURCES: DETAILED AND CONSISTENT FIGURES FOR INDIVIDUAL DEPOSITS ARE NOT AVAILABLE; FROM THE INFORMATION GIVEN IN INDIAN MINERALS YEARBOOK
Deposit ONE MAY CONCLUDE: TOTAL R1 PLUS R2 (IN SITU) RESOURCES OF INDIA: 171 MILLION TONNES INCLUDING R1E = 6 MILLION TONNES, WHICH MAY BE EQUIVALENT TO R1E = 736000 TONNES CONC. R2E = 33 MILLION TONNES, WHICH MAY BE EQUIVALENT TO R2E = 4.4 MILLION TONNES CONC. R2S = 132 MILLION TONNES, WHICH MAY BE EQUIVALENT TO R2S = 6 MILLION TONNES CONC. TO CALCULATE R2 FROM R2 A RECOVERY RATE OF 75 % WAS ASSUMED
