Kuroko type deposit worked for zinc, copper and lead, with minor silver, gold and pyrites (for sulphur) in an open-pit mine.

Mining operations began in 1885, with the mine under the control of what later became the Kajima Corporation. New deposits were discovered and exploited through the use of new technologies in the 1960s and 1970s, but by 1994 the mine was deemed to be no longer profitable, and operations were discontinued.
