Comments on the geologic information

  • ; HMTT, LMON (GTHT), MGNT, SDRT, CMST; THE OOLITIC IRONSTONE LAYER OCCURS IN A EW DIRECTION OVER A DISTANCE OF 100KM. IT HAS A WIDTH OF 2 TO 8 KM. THE ORE OCCURS IN LENSES AND LAYERS WITH A THICKNESS OF 4 TO 15M. LISAKOVSK AND AYAT ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS KUSTANAY.
  • ; ILMN + ZRCN + MNZT + RUTL + ANTS (+ QRTZ); MESOZOIC GRANITE IS THE LIKELY SOURCE ROCK. IN MANY PLACES THE DEPOSIT CONSISTS OF SEVERAL, ROUGHLY PARALLEL STRANDS. IT IS TYPICALLY 8-10 M DEEP BUT MAY BE UP TO 30 M DEEP. THE SANDS CONTAIN 1-2% HEAVY MINERALS BY WEIGHT (98-99% ILMN, REST - RUTL OR ANATASE).

Economic information about the deposit and operations

Development status Prospect
Commodity type Metallic
Significant No
Year of first production 1971

Mining district

District name Ural

Comments on the production information

  • 10 000 TONS/YEAR ILMENITE GRADING 50-51% TIO2. 25%DUE TO LACK OF DEMAND ILMENITE PRODUCTION HAS DROPPED IN RECENT YEARS. MAXIMUM PRODUCTION IN THE PAST: 16 000 TPA ILMENITE AND 70 TPA RUTILE. PC1 ASSUMES 17 YEARS AT 13 000 TPA ILMENITE PC2 ASSUMES 17 YEARS AT 55 TPA RUTILE.

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • RESERVES BASED ON AN EARLY 1960'S DRILLING PROGRAM WHICH INDICATED 20 MIL TONNES ILMN FOR WHOLE OF HAINAN ISLAND. THIS HAS BEEN DIVIDED INTO THE FOUR POTENTIAL PLANTS ON THE ISLAND. RUTL ESTIMATE BASED ON KNOWN RUTL:ILMN RATIO OF APPROX 1:100.
  • RR2: INCLUDES KERCH AND AYAT

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). OOLITIC LIMONITE WITH 0.04% V2O5 AND LIMONITE-SIDERITE ORE WITH 0.07% V2O5 OCCURS. THE PHOSPHOROUS-HIGH BROWN IRONSTONES OF AYAT AND LISAKOVSK, KNOWN COLLECTIVELY AS THE KUSTANAY DEPOSITS, WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE EXPANDED PRODUCTION OF VANADIUM IN THE USSR.
  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). ASSESSMENT(THE MAIN PLANT APPEARS TO BE RELATIVELY WELL DESIGNED. THE MINING, CONCENTRATING PROCESSES AND TAILINGS DISPOSAL MEET NO OBJECTION FROM THE LOCAL POPULATION.); 750 TONS OF ZIRCON AT 65% ZRO2 AND 100 TONS OF MONAZITE AT 5-7% THO2 ARE ALSO PRODUCED IN THE MAXIMUM PRODUCTION YEARS. THE PRODUCT OF THE WUZHAUNG FACILITY IS SOLD TO PIGMENT PLANTS AND OTHER FACILITIES THROUGHOUT CHINA. PROBABLY NOT PROBABLY NOT

(SEE NATIONAL RESOURCES FORUM, V. 4, NO. 3, P. 307-313.). FARMERS MINE THE SAND BY HAND AND THEN SEPARATE HEAVY MINERALS WITH A SIMPLE SLUICE. MECHANIZED MINING AND CONCENTRATION (INCLUDING BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATOR) HAS BEEN USED TO SUPPLY AS MUCH AS 1/3 OF THE PLANT FEED, BUT THIS OPERATION IS PRESENTLY OUT OF ACTION. NONE TIO2 PIGMENT
