🔥 Big news from central China! Geologists have hit the jackpot with a colossal manganese deposit, estimated to exceed 200 million tonnes! 😲
According to the Geophysical and Geochemical Survey Institute of Hunan Province, about 84 million tonnes of manganese ore have already been uncovered in the Qiyang-Lingling Basin of Yongzhou, Hunan Province.
\"Manganese is an essential raw material for industries such as steel, new energy, and advanced materials,\" said Liao Fengchu, director of the institute.
\"What's more, researchers have struck a rich ore body at a depth of over 1,016 meters with huge industrial potential,\" added Xu Junwei, the institute's chief engineer.
Given that China consumes millions of tonnes of manganese every year (mostly imported), this discovery is a total game-changer! 🎉
This massive find could supercharge China's industries and energize the global market! 🌍⚡️ Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
