Guizhou, a Province Abundant in Coal, Phosphate, Manganese, and Gold

Guizhou has the most abundant coal resources among southern Chinese provinces, producing more than 100 million tons of coal each year. It is thus known as the "Coal Sea of South China". The province has a proven coal reserve of 54.228 billion tons, ranking fifth in the country. It is also rich in coal bed methane, ranking fourth in the country. Its coal reserve accounts for 61% of southwest China's total, exceeding the combined reserves of 12 southern provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities).

Guizhou is an important phosphate rock center of China as well as one of the world's few phosphate-rich areas. In particular, Fuquan City alone has a proven phosphate rock reserve of more than 4 billion tons, accounting for 77.8% of the province's total, for which it has been known as the "Phosphate City of Asia".

Guizhou's aluminum ore and bauxite reserves account for 17.1% of the national total, second only to Shanxi. The junction area of Chongqing and Hunan and Guizhou provinces is known as the "Golden Triangle of China's Manganese Industry". The proven manganese ore reserves of Tongren City, which is located in the "Golden Triangle", have exceeded 700 million tons, ranking first in Asia.

Hailed as the "golden triangle" of non-ferrous metals, the junction area of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi is very rich in mineral resources. With its tin and indium reserves leading the country, the area also has sufficient reserves of aluminum, antimony, manganese, silver, lead and zinc, and is famous for the large concentration of Carlin-type gold deposits. In addition, Qianxinan Bouyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture has been named as the "Gold Prefecture of China" by China Gold Association.

貴州礦產(chǎn)--江南煤海、亞洲磷都、中國錳都、中國金州

貴州號稱“江南煤海”,是中國南方煤炭資源最豐富的省區(qū),年產(chǎn)煤炭超過1億噸。貴州探明保有煤炭資源儲量542.28億噸,居全國第五位;煤層氣資源豐富,位居全國第四位。貴州煤炭儲量占西南地區(qū)61%,超過南方12省(區(qū)、市)煤炭資源儲量的總和。

貴州省是中國磷礦重要基地,也是全球少數(shù)幾個磷礦富集區(qū)之一。其中,僅福泉市已探明的磷礦儲量就達(dá)40億噸以上,占貴州省磷礦儲量的77.8%,素有“亞洲磷都”的美譽(yù)。

貴州鋁礦、鋁礬土資源儲量占全國17.1%,僅次于山西;渝、湘、黔交界地帶則被稱為“中國錳業(yè)金三角”,地處“金三角”的銅仁市已查明錳礦石資源儲量超過7億噸,居亞洲第一。

滇、黔、桂交界地帶是有色金屬“金三角”,礦產(chǎn)資源十分豐富,錫、銦總儲量居全國之首,鋁、銻、錳、銀、鉛、鋅等具有藏量優(yōu)勢,也是著名的卡林型金礦集中區(qū)。黔西南被中國黃金協(xié)會命名為“中國金州”。
