Description
The product represented by this dataset is tungsten ore. The deposit type is the wolframite-quartz series-sulfide quartz type, and the ore is natural raw ore obtained from the mining of a primary orebody. The main valuable component of this ore is tungsten trioxide, with an average tungsten trioxide grade of 0.534% and a run-of-mine grade of 0.363%. The associated valuable components are copper, tin, and silver: the average Cu grade is 0.065% and the run-of-mine grade is 0.044%; the average Sn grade is 0.094% and the run-of-mine grade is 0.064%; the average Ag grade is 48.5 g/t and the run-of-mine grade is 33 g/t. This tungsten ore has a stable mineral composition and is the source raw material of the tungsten metallurgy industry chain. Its upstream is the wolframite primary deposit orebody, and downstream, through a beneficiation and enrichment process, tungsten concentrate can be prepared, while copper concentrate, tin concentrate, silver concentrate, and other associated valuable mineral products are simultaneously recovered. The mined tungsten ore is widely used in the tungsten ore beneficiation and enrichment industry and is the core source raw material for preparing deep-processed tungsten products; the associated copper, tin, and silver components have comprehensive recovery and utilization value. The dataset includes the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy, and waste in the production process; infrastructure such as the manufacturing of production equipment and the construction of plants is not included within the dataset boundary. The data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources.
