Where are the rare earth mines found in Zhejiang?

The reporter learned from the Geological Survey of Zhejiang Province that the first geological brigade of Zhejiang Province discovered a super-large scandium polymetallic deposit in the northwest of Zhejiang Province, and initially proved scandium resources of more than 70 tons, worth about 70 billion yuan.

It is reported that rare earth elements include scandium and other 17 metal elements, among which scandium is mainly used in cutting-edge technical fields such as national defense, military industry, aerospace, nuclear energy and superconductors, and belongs to the national strategic reserve of rare earth metals. According to Yang Xiaochun, chief engineer of the first geological brigade of the province, the market price of scandium metal is generally four times that of gold, which was as high as 10 times in history.

The super-large scandium polymetallic deposit discovered this time is associated with large-scale polymetallic ore dominated by silver, including 800 tons of silver, 0.3 million tons of lead and zinc/kloc-0, 3,000 tons of cadmium, 7,000 tons of tin, 400 tons of gallium and 5.5 tons of rhenium, all of which reach medium scale. Except for the first discovery of super-large scandium ore in our province, it is the first time to find such rich precious metals, nonferrous metals and rare metals in the same mine.

"This discovery can be described as a milestone in the history of geological exploration in our province." Yang Xiaochun said that in 2006, the First Geological Brigade of the Provincial Geological Exploration Bureau owned the exploration right in this area, and later discovered ancient caves, ancient mines, silver smelting slag and other relics. But until last year, this mine owner mainly mined silver.

It is reported that the general survey of Yinshan silver polymetallic deposit in Chun 'an County began in July 2007. In recent four years, through geological survey, geophysical exploration, trough energy exploration, drilling and other means, multi-layer silver polymetallic ore bodies have been discovered in Lantian Formation of Upper Sinian system, and the silver reserves have been controlled at a medium scale, making a major breakthrough in prospecting.
