Together with Panzhihua, Hongge and Baima, Taihe Town is known as "Panxi's four major vanadium titanium magnetites", which is a well-known "cornucopia" at home and abroad. Iron ore reserves of 900 million tons, is one of the domestic super large mines. Rich in iron, vanadium, titanium, cobalt, nickel, sulfur, phosphorus and other resources, associated metals, titanium dioxide 77.91 million tons, vanadium pentoxide 1.659 million tons, copper 15.77 million tons, cobalt 9.43 million tons, nickel 8.28 million tons, is a broad prospect of the mine.

Although it is rich in mineral resources, it has not been effectively developed due to traffic and historical reasons. Since the implementation of the western development strategy and the improvement of Xichang's investment environment, Taihe Iron Mine has been rejuvenated. Since the implementation of Xichang project in 2008, Pangang has realized strategic cooperation with Chongqing Iron and steel group of Taihe Iron Mine. It will rely on Taihe Iron Mine to build a large-scale production base of iron, titanium, vanadium and copper, and drive Taihe Town's economic take-off. Taihe Town will build a large mining and mineral processing base and a large family area.
