China’s first discovery of a new large-scale titanium-rich deposit

Recently, the reporter learned from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences that the mineral resources of the Institute of Geosciences found the world's first new type of large-scale titanium-rich deposit in Inner Mongolia. It is reported that the ore belt is about 1,100 meters long and the ore body is 2.5 to 11.2 meters thick. The genesis of the deposit is essentially different from the titanium deposits currently known in the world.

Titanium, its oxides and alloy products are important coatings, new structural materials and anti-corrosion materials. It is known as the “third metal” and “strategic metal” in the development of iron and aluminum, in aviation, aerospace and ships. It has a wide range of applications in the fields of military industry, chemical industry and environmental protection. The domestic and international prices of titanium metal are very high. In 2005, it has risen to more than 200,000 yuan per ton. The price of raw material rutile concentrate for extracting metal titanium has reached 4,000 to 4,800 yuan per ton.

In the 1950s and 1970s, the Inner Mongolia Geological Team conducted two surveys, all of which considered the mine to be an iron ore and sedimentary metamorphic iron deposit. Nowadays, the Institute of Mineral Resources of the Institute of Geosciences has made significant progress in the research of this mine. It has discovered and preliminarily delineated the rich titanium ore belt dominated by rutile in the northern Mt. The content of rutile in the ore is obviously larger than that of ilmenite, which is 3 to 5 times higher than the grade of some rutile primary ore that has been proven in China. The ore body is layered, the ore is mainly fine-stripe, and the ore metal mineral is mainly ilmenite or rutile. In addition, the characteristics of the ilmenite chemical composition indicate that the ilmenite is deposited under seabed conditions. Regional metamorphism and local hydrothermal transformation, which is essentially different from the genetic types of the 9 types of titanium deposits known in the world.

This is a typical example of China's scientific and technological research, discovering new types of deposits, and obtaining a major breakthrough in ore prospecting through systematic evaluation. According to the available data, the rutile mineral resources of the mine, that is, high-grade titanium dioxide will exceed 200,000 tons, and the prospective resources will be higher than 500,000 tons. The resources will reach the level of large deposits.

It is reported that China's high-grade titanium dioxide mainly depends on imports, and the development and utilization of the mine will play an important role in reversing this situation in China.
