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.
