Nonferrous Metals
Northwest China's Gansu Province has further boosted its reputation as the nation's major nonferrous metals production centre, the People's Daily reported yesterday.
Between 1986 and last year, the paper said, the Chinese government had invested nearly 1.9 billion yuan in developing the province's nonferrous metals resources, and 680 million yuan in updating its production equipment.
The two sums of money represented increases of 187 per cent and 183 per cent, respectively, compared with the 1981~1985 period, the paper said.
The bulk of the money was being spent on developing the resources of nickel, cobalt and the rare metals in the platinum family including palladium, osmium, iridium, ruthenium and rhodium.
After five years of development, the report said, the province was now able to produce 10 kinds of nonferrous metals. The area's annual output of nonferrous metals rose to 250 000 tons last year from 180 000 tons in 1985.
Gansu also earned more profits than any other province in this sector, the paper said. Last year, it earned 648 million yuan in pre-tax profits.
When the work to expand the Jinchuan Nonferrous Metals Corporation was completed in the near future, it said, the province was expected to be able to produce 40 000 tons of nickelt, 2000 tons of copper and 400 000 tons of sulphuric acid a year. These figures would be double the present output.
Since the mineral ores treated in jinchuan also contained cobalt, gold, silver and platinum, the paper said, the output of these metals was also expected to increase.
The first phase of the expansion project was completed in 1987 at a total cost of 780 million yuan .
As a result of such work, the paper said, nickel production had increased from 10 000 tons to 20 000 tons, making up 85 per cent of the country's total output.
The province's production of other nonferrous metals had also risen sharply, it said, adding that its cobalt production so far accounted for one-third of China's total output.

有色金屬
《人民日報》昨天報道說，中國西北省份甘肅省，作為國有主要有色金屬生產(chǎn)中心，名聲大振。
該報道說，從1986年到去年間，中國政府投資了將近19億元來開發(fā)該省的有色金屬資源，并投資6. 8億元用來更新其生產(chǎn)設備，同1981?1985期間相比，這兩筆資金分別增加187%和183%。
這些投資中的大部分用于開發(fā)鎳、鈷和包括鈀、鋨、銥、釕和銠在內(nèi)的鉑族稀有金屬資源。
該報道說，經(jīng)過五年的開發(fā)，該省現(xiàn)已能夠生產(chǎn)10類有色金屬。該地區(qū)有色金屬的年產(chǎn)量已從1985年的18萬噸上升到25萬噸。甘肅也在這個部門獲得了比其他任何省份多的利潤。去年，它獲得的稅前利潤為6. 48億元。
該報說，預期到金川有色金屬公司擴建工程在近期完成時，該省每年將能生產(chǎn)4萬噸鎳2萬噸銅和40萬噸琉酸。這些數(shù)字將是目前產(chǎn)量的兩倍，由于在金川冶爍的礦物里還含有鈷、金、銀和鉑，預期這些金屬的產(chǎn)量也會增加。
金川擴建工程的第一期工程于1987年完成,總的花費為7. 8億元。
該報說，由于這項工程的建成，鎳產(chǎn)量由1萬噸增加到2萬噸。占中國總產(chǎn)量的85%。
報紙還說，甘肅省其他有色金屬的產(chǎn)量也大幅度上升，并說迄今為止它的鈷產(chǎn)量已占中國總量的三分之一。
