Mt. Mizuguchi

Japanese: 水口山 - すいこうざん
Mt. Mizuguchi
China's largest lead, zinc, and silver mine, located 35 km northeast of Changning County in southern Hunan Province, China. A contact metasomatic deposit formed at the contact point between upper Palaeozoic limestone and biotite granite, the deposit contains ore bodies of galena with pyrite and chalcopyrite in a skarn zone of argentite and garnet. Silver is contained in the galena. Mining at Shuikou Mountain began in the Ming dynasty, but in 1897 (the 23rd year of the Guangxu era), development began in earnest under the promotion of development by Chen Baojin (1831-1900), governor of Hunan. Later, foreign capital was invested and modern mining methods were used.
