According to the news from the 327 Geological Team under the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Exploration of Anhui Province, the Exploration and Geology Report of Zhanling Molybdenum Deposits in Jing County of Anhui Province was passed by the Review Center of Mineral Resource Reserves. The report noted that rhenium, a kind of "super metal" was found in Zhanling Molybdenum Deposits. This is the first time for the province to find rhenium resources.
It's reported that Zhanling Molybdenum Deposits conclude over 110,000 metal tons of molybdenum metals, over 80,000 metal tons of copper metals and 30 metal tons of rhenium metals.
The known reserves of rhenium are about 1,100t in the world, including less than 200t in China. The material mainly appears in porphyry type of molybdenum (copper) deposits and is usually extracted from molybdenum concentrate. With high-strength and excellent plasticity, rhenium-nickel alloy is the key material to produce turbine discs and other important structural components.
