Jishui Huangqiao Peat

Jishui Huangqiao Peat

　　Peat resources are a major advantage in this region, with relatively widespread distribution and abundant reserves. Jishui County boasts the richest deposits. The peat deposit in Huangqiao Township, located north of the county town and composed of three discontinuous ore segments—Nanpo, Xincun, and Zengjia (classified as river-formed and lake-type), has been confirmed by relevant departments to hold 2.46 million tons of peat reserves, making it the largest known peat deposit in Jiangxi Province to date. The upper layer of this deposit consists of symbiotic fire-resistant clay, while the lower layer is peat. Most of its quality meets the requirements for soft clay, making it a valuable and promising mineral resource for extraction.
