According to the report, the status of mining in the global economic and social development is becoming more and more prominent. In order to accurately serve the transformation and development of China's mining industry and promote global mining cooperation and prosperity, the International Mining Research Center of the China Geological Survey organized the China Mining News, the Institute of Mineral Resources of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, and the Development Research Center of the China Geological Survey to jointly compile and complete The "Global Mining Development Report 2019".
5. Super-large molybdenum-tungsten deposit discovered in Luanchuan, Henan Province
On December 23, 2019, good news came from the Henan Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. After nearly 10 years of integrated exploration by the geological exploration team of Henan Province, a super-large molybdenum-tungsten deposit was discovered in Luanchuan Cold Water-Chatudian, Luoyang. The additional resources include 3.1704 million tons of molybdenum, 439600 tons of tungsten, 361600 tons of lead, 2.3629 million tons of zinc, 2.71 tons of copper and 391.82 tons of silver, which is equivalent to 39 large molybdenum mines, 14 large-tungsten mines and 5 large lead-zinc mines.
Up to now, Luanchuan, the "molybdenum capital of China", has submitted a total of 6.3117 million tons of molybdenum, 1.3828 million tons of tungsten, 991800 tons of lead, 3.3783 million tons of zinc, 1120.83 tons of silver and 82900 tons of copper.
