Dexing mine

The Dexing mine extends across the landscape as an open-pit copper extraction facility, with multiple levels descending into mineral-rich terrain.

Mining operations at Dexing began in the early 20th century with foreign investments before becoming part of China's national mining program in 1949.

The mine shapes the local community structure, as generations of families have worked in mineral extraction, creating a strong mining heritage.

Visitors can access the mine area through guided tours that demonstrate large-scale copper extraction processes and geological formations.

The facility extracts copper along with molybdenum and gold, making it one of the largest mineral complexes in Asia.
