  The natural resources happen to be very rich in Baotou. The iron mine on Baiyun Ebo is proved to be a multi-element intergrown mine, which consists of 73 elements. Among them, the reserve iron mineral amounts to 800 million tons, and the reserve of the rare-earth metal ranks the first in the world.

  In the 1920s, a geological survey team of Chinese and Swedes had first located iron at Baiyun Ebo, a little over 90 miles due north of Baotou. More iron was discovered there in the mid-1940s, but none was exploited at that time. Soon after 1949, a team of experts spent three years surveying the area and concluded that the iron reserves at Baiyun Ebo totaled about 1 billion tons (a figure that subsequently was raised to 1.2 billion), making it one of China’s richest iron deposits.
