More than 10 million tons! A vanadium-titanium magnetite deposit discovered in Chengde, Hebei Province

 The 514th Geological Brigade of the North China Geological Survey recently reported that since the launch of the new round of prospecting breakthrough strategic operations, the team has discovered a medium-sized vanadium-titanium magnetite deposit in Chengde, Hebei Province.

    The deposit is located in the east of the Damiao-Heishan iron ore concentration area and is a typical "Damiao-style" vanadium-titanium-magnetite ore. Geological technicians delineated a low-slow magnetic anomaly in this area through low-altitude aeromagnetic methods. After analysis and research, it is believed that this anomaly has a good correspondence with the ore-hosting surrounding rocks in this area and should be an ore-induced anomaly. Later, after drilling verification, a blind ore body of vanadium-titanium magnetite was discovered in the middle and deep depths of 200 meters to 400 meters underground. Through further work, at present, the identified resource amount of the deposit has exceeded 10 million tons, reaching a medium-scale scale, and there is still a good prospect in the deep, including one million tons of vanadium-titanium oxides and hundreds of thousands of tons of associated phosphorus minerals.
