The Taehung Youth Hero Mine(대흥청년영웅광산) is one of the largest magnesium mines in North Korea and in the world.[1] The mine is located in the center of the country in South Hamgyong Province.[1] The mine has about 2 billion tonnes of Magnesite.[2] However, facilities have become antiquated and an unstable electricity supply limits the full exploitation of the resources.[3]
