The world is rich in siliceous limestone resources, with total resources estimated at over 800 million t, but the distribution is very uneven. Only more than 20 countries found wollastonite ore deposit, mainly distributed in Asia, China, India, kazakhstan, uzbekistan, tajikistan and the Mexico, the United States of America and other countries, has proven reserves of 300 million t; In addition, silica limestone deposits have been found in Finland, Turkey, namibia, South Africa, Sudan, Canada and Yugoslavia.

By the end of 1996, there were 31 places of proven reserves in 14 provinces and autonomous regions, with reserves of 13.265 million tons, ranking among the highest in the world.
