China has made outstanding contributions to the development of the world tungsten industry. China tungsten deposit was discovered in Xihua Mountain, Dayu County, Jiangxi Province (according to Jiangxi Volume of China Deposit Discovery History, 1996). Since then, many tungsten mines have been discovered in Nanling area, and the output has been expanding. By the end of World War I, the output of tungsten concentrate reached 10000 tons, ranking first in the world, and still ranks first in the world 1.
China is rich in tungsten resources. The geological survey of tungsten mine development was initiated by Mr Weng on 19 16, and then some exploration work was done in Hebei, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces (regions). In 1930s and 1940s, some tungsten deposits in Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces (regions) were systematically investigated, especially in southern Jiangxi. Geologists such as Yan Chuntai, Cha Zonglu, Zhou Daolong,, Zhang, and Ma Zhen Tu have conducted quite successful geological surveys. Among them, Geological Records of Tungsten Mines in Southern Jiangxi (1943) written by Xu Keqin and Yi Ding has systematically discussed the tungsten mines in southern Jiangxi for decades, which is the first monograph on tungsten mines in China. The achievements of these geological predecessors not only laid the foundation for later geological exploration, but also provided an important basis for the mining of tungsten mines in southern Jiangxi at that time.
1935, Jiangxi Province established the Tungsten Industry Management Office of the Resources Committee to unify the price and purchase tungsten sand. 1938 xihuashan mine was built and put into east-west alleys for pit mining. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was changed to the first agency of the Resources Committee, Xihuashan Engineering Office of the Mineral Management Office. According to incomplete statistics, from Xihuashan Tungsten Mine to the founding of New China, * * * mined nearly 50,000 tons of tungsten sand. 1937 dajishan tungsten mine engineering office was established, and the ninth middle section of Renmin cave was reclaimed to start state-owned production.
In 1930s and 1940s, not only a large number of wolframite but also scheelite were discovered one after another. Jin and Yang Boquan, Mineral Exploration Department of Resources Committee, discovered the contact metasomatic scheelite deposit (skarn scheelite deposit) for the first time when they conducted a mineral geological survey in Laojunshan area of Wenshan County, Yunnan Province 1943, and wrote a paper "The Origin and Significance of Laojunshan Scheelite Deposit in Wenshan, Yunnan Province" (Geological Review, 1943, №ⅶ) 1947, Xu Keqin discovered scheelite deposit in Xianshangtan, Yaogang, Yizhang, Hunan Province, and wrote a special report.
After the founding of New China, in order to revitalize the tungsten industry, an unprecedented large-scale geological survey and exploration of tungsten ore was carried out in 1950s and 1960s. The geological exploration department of the former Ministry of Heavy Industry, Metallurgy and Geology quickly conducted a comprehensive survey and exploration of tungsten mines in Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces. During the First Five-Year Plan period (1953 ~ 1957), Xihua Mountain, Daji Mountain, Mimeishan Mountain and Pangu Mountain were located in southern Jiangxi. From 1960s to 1980s, in order to protect mines, construction and the sustainable development of tungsten industry, a lot of geological exploration work was continued, and a number of large and super-large tungsten mines were discovered and proved in South China and northwest Gansu, which prepared sufficient mineral resources for the sustainable development of tungsten industry in China.
On the basis of a lot of geological exploration work, from 1950s to 1970s, more than 20 mines directly under the central government and a large number of local state-owned small and medium-sized mines were built. Since 1980s, the total production capacity of state-owned tungsten mines has reached 8.7 million tons. The annual output of tungsten concentrate is 40,000 ~ 50,000 tons (WO3 content).
20 15 12 1, Jiangxi Provincial Department of Land and Resources organized a review meeting on the report of the general survey results of tungsten and copper mines in the peripheral area of Zhuxi (line 30-78) in Fuliang County, Jiangxi Province. After expert review, it is confirmed that the proven resources of 333+334 tungsten trioxide (WO3) in this project are 2.86 million tons, setting a new world record for tungsten reserves.
2016,6543815, Jiangxi Provincial Department of Land and Resources held a briefing on the results of the general survey of tungsten and copper deposits in Zhuxi, Fuliang County, and announced that 2.86 million tons of 333+334 tungsten trioxide (WO3) resources had been found in the periphery of Zhuxi (line 30-78) in Fuliang County, setting a new world record for tungsten reserves, making the floating beam. Its resources are 2.7 times that of Dahutang tungsten mine, the largest tungsten mine in the world.
