Which are the wet copper smelting plants in China?

It seems difficult to count this; there are probably too many. Also, many of them are small factories, located in remote mountainous areas, lack recognition, or have already closed down. Moreover, many wet copper smelting plants are merely a workshop or one of the processes within a larger factory.
As far as I know, they include Jiangsu Copper, Zijin Mountain Gold and Copper Mine, Zhejiang Huayou, Zhejiang Qingfeng, Jiangsu Xiongfeng, Heilongjiang Duobaoshan, Tibet Yulong Copper Mine, and Zhongyuan Gold Smelting Plant.
Jiangxi Copper and Yunnan Copper were also building a new wet-process copper smelting plant, but construction was halted after the financial crisis. Xiangyun Feilong Company also has a copper smelting workshop that uses extraction technology. The gold-copper mines in Zijin Mountain use hydrometallurgical methods for processing, but among them, I believe Jiangxi Copper Industry has the best technology. Copper Tomb Non-ferrous Metals also uses hydrometallurgical processing
Why do those upstairs think Jiangxi Copper’s hydrometallurgical copper smelting technology is the best? Would the original poster mind explaining their viewpoint? Of course, if the person upstairs is indeed from Jiangxi Copper, that makes sense too, haha. Actually, what we’re discussing here are purely technical issues, representing only personal opinions. If any companies or factories are mentioned, those involved shouldn’t take it too seriously. There are those who prefer green vegetables and those who prefer radishes – everyone has their own preference. The elder said that there should be a diversity of opinions and a flourishing of various ideas. I hope everyone will speak frankly, express their opinions clearly, discuss issues properly, and share their views openly. If it’s correct, everyone should keep it in mind; if it’s wrong, just laugh. Well-founded, easy to speak, and easy to understand.
The Yangla Copper Mine of Yunnan Copper Industry has a large-scale leaching process system in place, as does the Dexing Copper Mine
I’ve heard of this. Does anyone who knows it well could provide a detailed explanation of the manufacturing process?
In Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, there is a company that uses wet methods to extract rare metals!
Hydrometallurgy has already been developed to a considerable extent, but there is still a long way to go; in particular, economic efficiency needs to be improved in certain fields and areas.
The hydrometallurgical copper smelting plant of Shanxi Zhongtiao Mountain Non-ferrous Metals Group Company produces 2,000 tons of electrowon copper per year.
