A lead-zinc mine in the Naizibao ore block of the Limei ore field.
Estimated reserves are 97,000 tons of zinc, 2,800 tons of lead and 1,300 tons of cadmium (as by-product from sphalerite).


Note: The "Laozibao Mine" reported by Schneider et al. (2002) cannot be located (as there are no entries in Chinese databases nor a settlement of that name in the area), but the map in their paper places it within the Limei ore field, suggesting that it is really the Naizibao Mine.
