Halloysite Mine in Dunino, Surface mine in Dunino, Poland

The halloysite extraction site spans 800 meters along an eastern cliff of the Nysa Szalona valley, displaying complete geological profiles and mineral layers.

Mining operations at the Dunino site began in 1998, extracting halloysite from deposits formed through chemical weathering of basaltic rocks during the Neogene period.

The Dunino mine stands within the Land of Extinct Volcanoes Geopark, contributing to regional geological education and mineral resource understanding.

Located near Legnica city, the mine maintains restricted access policies, requiring special permits for entry while allowing distant observation points for visitors.

The Dunino deposit represents one of three halloysite mines worldwide, with estimated reserves exceeding 10 million tons of this mineral resource.
