-Shanxi Province
Shanxi Province is located in the Loess Plateau in the north of China, in the middle of the Yellow River Basin. 34 34' north latitude in the south and 40 44' north latitude in the north; East longitude 1 14 32', west longitude110/5'. It borders Hebei Province, Henan Province, Shaanxi Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Shanxi (also known as the famous mountain right) is named because it is located to the west of Taihang Mountain. Because it is located in the east of the Yellow River, it is also called Hedong. The Spring and Autumn Period was the State of Jin, so it was called Jin for short. In the early Warring States period, Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin, so they were also called Sanjin.
Advantages of mineral resources:
Shanxi is an important energy base in China, rich in mineral resources and known as the "hometown of coal and iron". There are many kinds of mineral resources in Shanxi, which are widely distributed. 105 minerals have been discovered and 67 minerals have been utilized. The largest reserves of minerals in China are coal, aluminum, refractory clay, gallium ore, ferrovanadium, zeolite and limestone for building materials.
Shanxi's coal resources have always ranked first in the country, and coal is the largest dominant mineral resource in Shanxi Province. Shanxi coal resources are distributed in Datong, Ningwu, Xishan, Qinshui, Huoxi, Hedong, Hunyuan and Wutai from north to south, with a coal-bearing area of 62,000 square kilometers, accounting for 39.6% of the total area of the province. By the end of 1999, the total reserves of coal resources were 2.681620,000 tons, of which the recoverable and pre-recoverable reserves were 72,000 tons. The basic reserves1167.63 million tons, accounting for 43.54% of the total resources reserves; The remaining1513.99 million tons are low-feasibility resources (including the original off-balance-sheet reserves), accounting for 56.46% of the total resource reserves; Bauxite, another dominant mineral in Shanxi, has a total resource reserve of 989 million tons, including recoverable and pre-recoverable reserves of 99 million tons; The basic reserves are/kloc-0.07 million tons and the resources are 882 million tons, accounting for 10.03%, 10.84% and 89. 16% of the total bauxite resources respectively. The total resource reserves of iron ore are 3.897 billion tons, of which the recoverable and pre-recoverable reserves are 4.865438 billion tons, accounting for 6.5438+02.35% of the total resource reserves. The basic reserve is 549 million tons, accounting for14.08%; The resources are 3.348 billion tons, accounting for 85.92% of the total iron ore reserves.
Characteristics of mineral resources:
Shanxi is rich in mineral resources, which occupies an important position in the whole country from varieties to reserves. At present, more than 0/00 kinds of minerals/kloc-have been discovered in the whole province, and there are more than 3,000 ore occurrences and mineralization points. There are 49 kinds of proven reserves such as coal, iron, aluminum, copper, molybdenum, titanium, gallium, lead, zinc, gold, silver, diamond, limestone, clay, gypsum, mirabilite and magnesium salt, and there are 620 mining areas. Among them, the reserves of coal, bauxite, refractory clay, bauxite, perlite, gallium and platinum rank first in the country; The reserves of rutile, magnesium salt and mirabilite rank second in China, and the reserves of potash feldspar rank third. The reserves of ferrotitanium and flux limestone rank fourth; The reserves of feldspar, gypsum, cobalt, copper, germanium and gold are among the best in China.
Widely distributed. Coal, bauxite, refractory clay, limestone, dolomite and other sedimentary minerals are widely distributed, of which the coal-bearing area of 2000 meters is 54 thousand square kilometers, accounting for 34.6% of the total area of the province; Limestone for cement, limestone for calcium carbide and dolomite are rich in reserves and thick, with an exposed area of 23,400 square kilometers.
Relatively concentrated. The iron ore reserves, which account for more than 90% of the province, are distributed in Wutai Mountain Area and Lvliang Mountain Area. Gypsum is distributed in Taiyuan-Xiangfen and Lucheng areas south of 38 north latitude; More than 95% of the copper reserves in the province are concentrated in Zhongtiaoshan area; Glauber's salt, magnesium salt and salt ore are all distributed in Yuncheng Salt Lake. Manganese, graphite, silver, bentonite, zeolite, perlite and other minerals are distributed in Yanggao, Lingqiu, Datong and Hunyuan areas in northern Shanxi.
The types of ore industry are relatively complete, with more lean ore and less rich ore. The types of coal range from lignite to anthracite; There are four kinds of refractory clay: high alumina clay, hard clay, semi-soft clay and soft clay. Limestone includes calcium carbide limestone, cement limestone, flux limestone, glass limestone and building stone limestone. Some important mineral resources are rich in minerals but poor in minerals. For example, in iron ore, only 6.44% are rich in minerals, 3.86% are rich in copper, 2.89% are bauxite, and gypsum and pyrite have no Grade I minerals.
* * * There are many associated minerals. The ore-bearing rock series in benxi formation is mainly bauxite, accompanied by rare rare rare earth metals such as niobium, scandium and gallium, as well as refractory clay, ferrovanadium and Shanxi-style iron ore. Coalbed methane, pyrite, kaolinite and soft clay occur in coal-bearing strata; Many endogenous minerals are often accompanied by a variety of components that can be comprehensively recovered. For example, Zhongtiaoshan copper mine is associated with cobalt, molybdenum, gold, silver and sulfur, Diaoquan mining area in Lingqiu County is a comprehensive deposit of iron, copper, gold and silver, and Xiaoqinggou area is a comprehensive deposit of silver, manganese, lead and zinc.
Simple geological conditions and good mining conditions. The geological structure and hydrogeological conditions of many important deposits are simple, and the ore bodies are mostly layered and quasi-layered, with large scale. Many nonmetallic deposits are suitable for open-pit mining.
Shanxi's main advantageous mineral resources are coal, bauxite, iron ore and non-metallic minerals; Coal resources are characterized by huge reserves, concentrated distribution, simple coalfield geological structure, shallow burial, easy exploitation, complete coal types and excellent quality. The famous Jincheng "blue charcoal" has long been famous at home and abroad. Coking coal accounts for 56.5% and anthracite accounts for 43.06% in China. Liu Li-Xiangning high-quality coking coal, Jincheng-Yangcheng high-quality anthracite and Datong Jurassic high-quality thermal coal have long been listed as scarce minerals in China by the former State Planning Commission. Bauxite is the second dominant resource after coal, which is widely distributed and concentrated. Only the area buried more than 400 meters is about 6.5438+0.7 million square kilometers. By the end of 654.38+0.999, the reserves were 989 million tons, accounting for 465.438+0.57% of the whole country, ranking first in the country. Others such as copper, iron, gold and many important non-metallic resources also occupy a very important position in the country.
Among the minerals with proven resource reserves in the province, the minerals with resource advantages and important position in national economy, industrial and agricultural production and foreign trade export include coal, bauxite, iron ore, copper mine, refractory clay, limestone for cement, limestone for calcium carbide, limestone for flux, mirabilite, gypsum and pyrite. In addition, minerals such as manganese, silver, gold, graphite, bentonite, kaolinite, silica, potassium-bearing rocks, dolomite for magnesium smelting, granite and zeolite also have very good development prospects.
In recent years, Shanxi coalbed methane and rutile (titanium ore), which have been reported by the media, have attracted more and more attention from investors at home and abroad.
Shanxi mineral resources

Shanxi is known as the "hometown of coal and iron" and "energy and heavy chemical industry base". Coal is the biggest resource advantage in Shanxi, with proven coal reserves of 200 billion tons, accounting for one third of the country, and distributed in more than 90 counties (cities, districts) in the province. Shanxi has six coalfields, namely Datong, Ningwu, Xishan, Qinshui, Huoxian and Hedong, and five coal-producing areas, namely Hunyuan, Wutai, Yuanqu, Pinglu and Fan Shi. Around these coalfields and producing areas, Shanxi has built seven large mining bureaus and Huozhou medium mining bureau in Datong, Yangquan, Xishan, Fenxi, Lu 'an, Jincheng and Xuangang, eight small distribution mining bureaus in Dongshan, Yin Ying, Xiaoyu, Wangping, Zhaigou, Guzhuang and Nanzhuang, as well as the largest Sino-foreign joint-venture open-pit coal mine in China. Almost all counties in Shanxi have coal, so there are more than 6,000 local and township coal mines in Shanxi. In response to the underground "coal sea" in Shanxi, Shanxi's coal industrial facilities have been connected into a huge network.
Shanxi is not only rich in coal, but also complete in coal types, including 4 coking coals, accounting for 6 1% of the total coal reserves in the province, 4 non-coking coal coals and more than 60 coals with other chemical elements. Shanxi's coal is of high quality, characterized by low ash, low phosphorus and high heat. Therefore, Shanxi's coal is suitable for all kinds of industrial production, and the thick coal seam and shallow burial are conducive to large-scale mechanized mining, so Shanxi's coal is very attractive to the outside world. Shanxi coal has been supplied to 26 provinces, 12 cities with separate plans, which means that Shanxi coal almost radiates all over the country. At the same time, the export scope has gradually expanded, reaching 23 countries and regions in Asia, the United States and Europe.
Other mineral deposits are iron and aluminum. Copper, refractory clay, limestone, gypsum, etc. Iron ore reserves are 3.05 billion tons.
