The announcement shows that the Zuokeng rare earth mining area in Xinfeng County is located in Yaotian Town, Xinfeng County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province. The mineral type is a granite weathering crust ion adsorption deposit. The amount of rare earth ore resources identified in the Zuokeng rare earth mining area of Xinfeng County (proved + controlled + inferred) is: 171.52 million tons of ore, of which 28.944 million tons of proven resources and 74.838 million controlled resources ton, the inferred resource ore amount is 67.736 million tons.
Rising Nonferrous said that following the successful expansion and integration of rare earth mines of Pingyuan County Huaqi Rare Earth Industry Co., Ltd., a holding subsidiary, Xinfeng Company successfully obtained the mining license of Zuokeng rare earth mine, which is another important step for the company to implement the rare earth resource control strategy. results.
The reporter noticed that Guangsheng Nonferrous Metals once mentioned the situation of Huaqi Rare Earth Mine and Zuokeng Rare Earth Mine in Xinfeng County in its 2021 annual report.

The company’s rare earth resource reserves will provide sufficient and stable rare earth resource guarantee for the rapid development of the company’s entire rare earth industry chain.
The data shows that Rising Nonferrous’s 2021 medium and heavy rare earth ore mining target is 2,700 tons, holding 4 southern ion adsorption rare earth ore smelting and separation plants, mastering the most advanced production technology in domestic ion adsorption rare earth ore smelting and separation, and owning southern ion adsorption rare earth ore smelting and separation. The separation capacity of heavy rare earth in ion adsorption rare earth ore is 14,000 tons/year.
Guangsheng Nonferrous Metals stated that Zuokeng rare earth mine is the largest single-unit southern ion adsorption rare earth mine in China. It has a large mining area, abundant resource reserves and excellent resource allocation.
