[Natural resources] are widely distributed, with high grade and easy exploitation. There are 60 proven mineral species and 3 10 deposits, including 4 large deposits 14, 20 medium deposits, 37 small deposits and 239 occurrences. Coal, salt, nitrate, gypsum, limestone, iron, copper, gold, graphite, marble, bentonite, dolomite, granite and other reserves are considerable, including coal reserves of 65.438+0.47 billion tons, salt of 65.438+0.3 billion tons, mirabilite of 49.6 million tons, gypsum of 65.438+0 billion tons and bentonite of 440 million tons. There are 69 million mu of grassland, 6.5438+0.2 million mu of woodland and 240,000 mu of cultivated land in the whole flag. In particular, Helanshan National Nature Reserve has 360,000 mu of original secondary forest, which is a natural ecological barrier in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and even North China. Zuo Qi, Alashan has successively developed and constructed four well irrigation areas, namely Yaoba Beach, Chahar Beach, Gelingbulongtan and Xitan, and four yellow irrigation areas, namely Bayin Maodao, Laoya Beach, Shuangjing Beach and Shuiman Beach. Agricultural products are mainly wheat, corn, sorghum, pasture, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables, and Alashan bactrian camel and Alashan white cashmere goat are two excellent local livestock breeds. Alashan white cashmere, known as "fiber gem", won the 3rd Italy International "Chaigena Cashmere Award". Its fineness, brightness and whiteness rank first among similar products in the world, and it is indeed the best cashmere with an annual output of 6.5438+0.6 million kg. There are many kinds of wild animals and plants in Alashan Zuo Qi. There are abundant Chinese medicine villages such as Cistanche deserticola, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, Herba Ephedrae, Radix Astragali and Cynomorium songaricum, and there are wild animal resources such as snow leopard, argali, wild donkey, deer, blue pheasant, roe deer and raccoon dog.
