The China Geological Survey under the Ministry of Natural Resources announced on the 17th that my country has discovered a super-large-scale ion-adsorption rare earth mine in the Honghe area of Yunnan Province, with potential resources of 1.15 million tons. Among them, key rare earth elements such as praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium and terbium exceed 470,000 tons.
my country is rich in light rare earth resources, mainly distributed in Bayan Obo, Inner Mongolia and Yakniuping, Sichuan, but medium and heavy rare earth resources are relatively scarce and have a wider range of applications. They are essential key raw materials for electric vehicles, new energy, national defense security, etc., and are key metals for the development of high-tech industries.
The ion-adsorption rare earth mines discovered this time are mainly medium and heavy rare earth mines. This major discovery will help consolidate my country's rare earth resource advantages, improve the rare earth industry chain, and further consolidate my country's strategic advantages in the field of medium and heavy rare earth resources.
The China Geological Survey combines geological surveys with scientific research. Through more than 10 years of work, it has established a national geochemical benchmark network, obtained massive geochemical data, made important breakthroughs in prospecting theory and exploration technology, filled the gap in geochemical exploration technology for ion adsorption rare earth mines, and established a fast, accurate, and green exploration technology system, which has important reference significance for achieving rapid breakthroughs in prospecting in other medium and heavy rare earth-rich areas in my country.
