Honghe Prefecture is located in the junction of the three major metallogenic belts in eastern Yunnan, southeastern Yunnan and western Yunnan, with good geological and metallogenic conditions and rich mineral resources. 20 1 1 year, 49 kinds of non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals and non-gold minerals were discovered or mined in Honghe prefecture, and more than 500 deposits (spots) were discovered. Resource reserves: 465,438+390 million tons of fuel mineral coal, with the output of 654,38+286,000 tons in that year; Ferrous metal minerals: iron/kloc-0.04 million tons and manganese 68 million tons, with annual output of 9 1000 tons and 300,000 tons respectively; Non-ferrous minerals: copper 6.5438+0.37 million tons, tin 497.8 million tons, lead 6.5438+0./kloc-0.9 million tons, zinc 6.5438+0.34 million tons and nickel 6.5438+0.7 million tons; Precious metals: 20,220kg of gold and 3,783.4kg of silver; Non-metals: gypsum 1.24 million tons, nepheline syenite 55.45 million tons, limestone for cement 267 1.45 million tons.

Among all kinds of metallic and nonmetallic deposits, tin, manganese and associated metals such as indium, bismuth and silver occupy an important position in the whole province and the whole country. Gejiu City is the main concentration of mineral resources in Honghe Prefecture, with non-ferrous metal reserves ranking first in the province and tin reserves ranking first in the country. Jianshui is the largest manganese production base in China; Mengzi silver reserve is 4044 tons, which is one of the largest silver mines in China. Jinping Nickel Mine has a reserve of 800,000 tons, making it the fourth largest nickel mine in China. The reserve of Jianshui titanium ore is 6.5438+250,000 tons. Honghe Prefecture relies on large enterprises to grasp projects, which makes Honghe Prefecture's mining industry present a good development momentum. Gejiu has become the largest tin smelting, tin processing and tin chemical production center in the world. Yunxi Group has become a large-scale state-owned nonferrous metal production joint enterprise integrating geological exploration, mining, mineral processing, smelting, tin chemical industry, arsenic chemical industry, tin processing, new nonferrous metal materials and precious metal materials. 20 1 1 Honghe prefecture has 7 nature reserves (including 3 national nature reserves), which are rich in wildlife resources and are called "the kingdom of natural animals and plants" and "the biological gene bank of southern Yunnan".
