　　Fugu Kaolin

　　Kaolin is mainly found in Fugu Town, Haizemiao, and Huangfu. It occurs alongside coalfields, growing together with Carboniferous–Permian coal seams like twin brothers. The proven reserves amount to 359 million tons, with prospective reserves exceeding 1 billion tons, ranking first in China. The Carboniferous–Permian strata host six layers of kaolin, with thicknesses ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 meters and the thickest reaching 4.85 meters. The ore layers are stable, with a kaolin content as high as 94%, of which 70% is high-grade kaolin. The natural grain size is fine, making it a rare high-quality deposit both domestically and internationally. It serves as a primary raw material for industries such as ceramics, rubber, plastics, petroleum, electric power, chemical engineering, and aerospace.
