Where is "Asia's richest iron ore"?

On August 18, 2017, Changjiang Shilu Iron Mine is one of the important bases of iron ore in China and is known as the boss of Hainan’s mining industry.

However, after many years, Shilu Iron Mine has faced the end of open-pit iron mining. After the surface mining of Shilu Iron Mine is completed, underground mining can also be carried out. In the future, a mineral museum and park will be planned to be built.

Shilu Iron Mine has a history of about three to four hundred years since ancient folk manual mining. After the Japanese invaders invaded Hainan in 1939, they forcibly recruited tens of thousands of migrant workers. They used bayonets and whips to force the migrant workers to mine day and night on Jinniuling. They carried out crazy and predatory development of the Shilu Iron Mine and dumped more than 500,000 tons of iron ore. Rich iron ore is shipped to Japan. After the Japanese invaders surrendered, the Kuomintang government took over the mines. Instead of resuming production, they sold off the machinery and equipment, leaving the iron ore area covered with grass. Hainan Island was liberated in May 1950. In October of the same year, the Industrial Department of the Central-South Military and Political Commission organized manpower to repair the Shilu Mine. and resume production.

Hainan Shilu Iron Mine is one of the important bases of iron ore in China. It is not only rich in iron, cobalt, and copper resources, but also has various mineral resources such as nickel, sulfur, aluminum, and gold. . According to exploration, iron ore reserves amount to hundreds of millions of tons, with grades as high as over 62%. Experts believe that Shilu Iron Ore has abundant resources and high grade. It is famous in Asia and the world. It is known as "Pearl of the Treasure Island and National Treasure".

Where is the Shilu Iron Mine Road? According to reports, as of this year, surface mining of Shilu Iron Mine has basically ended, but underground mining can still continue, and preparations for this work are currently being carried out. At the same time, the low-quality tailings that have been mined in the past must also be reused, and the potential of Shilu Iron Mine can be maximized through potential tapping and technological updating.

The next step is to plan and build it into a mineral museum and park, but this requires a process. It can be converted into a mineral museum and mining park to serve Changjiang tourism. During the renovation process, the environment must be restored. Shilu Iron Mine has a long history and rich cultural assets, which is a good tourist feature. We must protect it, which will add luster to the future mineral museums in Changjiang and even Hainan.

It would be great if it became a tourist attraction, then everyone could visit it, and the local area could also earn huge income.
