[Prefecture and county unknown.]

Assuming that the Chinese name of the mine is 大铜 (大 = "Da" = big, 铜 = "Tong" = copper; note that this is by no means obvious, as every syllable in the transliteration can stand for a variety of characters), it would translate to "big copper mine", suggesting that this is a generic locality.
