China clay, iron ore, coal mine, limestone, quartz sand, and non-ferrous metal ores are mainly distributed in Quanzhou City

46 types of minerals have been discovered in the city, including iron, manganese, vanadium, titanium, copper, lead, zinc, silver, tungsten, tin, molybdenum, bismuth, gold, rare earths, pyrite, and peat. , limestone for cement, marble for cement, pyrophyllite, illite, alum, fluorite (ordinary), crystal, graphite, potassium feldspar, kaolin, porcelain stone, clay for cement, refractory clay, bricks and tiles Clay, purple clay, granite (tuff, diorite) for construction and decoration, diabase for decoration and sculpture, vein quartz for metallurgy, quartzite for glass, glass sand, molding sand, construction sand, wollastonite , sericite, colored stones, beryl, hard high-aluminum minerals, geothermal, etc. The number of discovered minerals accounts for 38.98% of the province's total. There are 22 types of resource reserves that have been geologically proven (including those that have not yet been listed on the reserve list). Among them, 6 types of metal minerals include iron, manganese, lead, zinc, molybdenum, and gold; 2 types of energy minerals include coal and geothermal; and 2 types of non-metallic minerals include There are 14 types of sand, pyrophyllite, kaolin (porcelain clay, porcelain stone) for glass (casting), limestone (marble) for cement, and stone for facing (carving). There are 611 proven mineral deposits, including 14 large deposits (wells), 13 medium deposits, and 152 small deposits.

The three characteristic development zones planned are as follows:

Eastern area: including Quangang, Hui'an, Licheng, Luojiang, Fengze, Jinjiang, Shishi and southern Nan'an, mainly Develop mineral resources such as granite, quartz sand, and porcelain stone for construction, and arrange to develop a certain amount of granite for facing in some areas to meet the needs of Quanzhou's urban construction and coastal stone carving and architectural ceramics industries.

The central region: including Anxi, the eastern part of Yongchun and the central and western part of Nan'an, mainly develops granite, diabase, porcelain stone, kaolin, pyrophyllite and other minerals for facing (carving). Support the development of the coastal stone industry and architectural ceramics industry.

The western region: including Anxi, western Yongchun and Dehua County, mainly develops coal, iron, gold, lead, zinc, limestone for cement, kaolin, geothermal and other minerals to ensure that this region has formed The development and expansion of certain scale coal mining industry, iron ore mining and dressing industry, cement manufacturing industry, gold smelting, and craft ceramics industry will promote the development of mountainous area economy.

It is understood that the above three major regional subdivisions are: Zhangban building stone, Fengzhou building stone, Tuling building stone (porcelain stone), Nanpu facing granite, Guanqiao and Shijing facing Use granite, Nan'an diabase for carving, Anxi Guanqiao and gantry facing granite, Nan'an Liucheng and Guanqiao porcelain stone, Nan'an construction sand, Tianhushan anthracite, Anxi and Dehua iron ore raw materials, Dehua gold, Dehua gold There are 15 mining bases including kaolin for chemical process ceramics and limestone for Anxi cement.
