Anze mineral resources

Mineral resources mainly include coal, iron, limestone, gypsum, calcite and coalbed methane.

The coal resource area of the county is 1944 square kilometers, with a reserve of more than 24 billion tons. Among them, the area of Tang Cheng Shangzhuang and Sanjiao under development is about 40 square kilometers, belonging to Taiyuan Formation and Shanxi Formation, with 5 floors in total, with a total thickness of 6.2 meters, generally 200-500 meters away from the surface, ash112 minutes, calorific value of 8,500 kcal, and sulfur. The lean coal or anthracite in the south of undeveloped county 1904 square kilometers is 2#, 3#, 9#, 1 1#, which is generally 200-800 meters away from the surface, with ash content of 6-23%, calorific value of 7,500-8,500 kcal and sulfur content less than 0.5%.

Iron ore occurs or is exposed at the foot of Houling Mountain in Shangzhuang, Tang Zhen, with an area of about 65,438 0.4 square kilometers, a reserve of about 65,438 million tons, an exposed thickness of 65,438 0.5 ~ 2 meters, an iron content of 46 ~ 52% and a manganese content of 7 ~ 8%.

Calcite was found in the red sandstone layer of Liujiagou in Maliang Township. After investigation, it is found that the exposed Longji and other deposits are 3000 meters long and 5 ~ 10 meters wide, and the storage capacity is preliminarily predicted to be more than 654.38+10,000 tons. After testing, the rate and purity of calcium oxide and various elements have reached the national chemical and architectural standards.

Porcelain clay was stored in Shangzhuang Village, a town in the Tang Dynasty, and the northern slope of Ganling Land was of high quality. In the 1970s, a ceramic factory mined and fired many kinds of porcelain.

There are coalbed methane in Jishi basin. Anze coalbed methane reserves exceed 440 billion cubic meters and need further development.
