Geographic Distribution Of Titanium

China's total titanium resources of 965 million tons, ranking first in the world, accounting for 38.85% of the world's proven reserves, mainly concentrated in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan and other places, of which Panshi (Panzhihua Xichang) region is China's largest titanium resource base, titanium resources of 8.7 billion tons.

China's proven titanium resources are distributed in 21 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government) a total of 108 mining areas (Figure 3.5.1 and Table 3.5.4). The main producing area is Sichuan, followed by Hebei, Hainan, Guangdong, Hubei, Guangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other provinces (autonomous regions).

Titanomagnetite Rock Ore: The main deposits are located in Yanbian Hongge and Miyi Baima in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province, and Taihe in Xichang; Damiao and Heishan in Chengde, Hebei Province, Zhaobinggou in Fengning, and Nantianmen in Chongli; Tongyu in Zuoguen, Shanxi Province; Biji Gou in Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province; Oiya in Xinjiang Province; Zhaozizhuang in Maoyang, Henan Province; Xiaran in Xingning, Guangdong Province; Huma in Heilongjiang Province; and Shangzhuang in Changping, and Xindi in Huairou in Beijing. Among them, Sichuan Province's surface reserves (TiO2 442,563,200 t) accounted for 95.1% of the national reserves of the same kind (TiO2 465,228,300 t), Hebei Province (TiO2 154,444,600 t) accounted for 3.3%, Shaanxi Province accounted for 0.46%, and Shanxi Province accounted for 0.35%.
