Copper: Primarily located in the southwestern Lower Silesia region, the Lubin-Głogów copper deposit is one of the world's largest. It comprises the Rudna, Polkowice-Sieroszowice, and Lubin mining areas. Currently mined by the state-owned Lubin Polish Copper Mining and Smelting Industry Group (KGHM), in 2022, the Polkowice-Sieroszowice mine produced 196,800 tons of copper, the Rudna mine produced 174,600 tons, and the Lubin mine produced approximately 13 million tons of ore annually, with approximately 231,000 tons of extracted copper. Lead and zinc: Lead and zinc mines are primarily distributed in the southern Silesian Plateau. The Tarnovski Gora lead-silver-zinc mine, located in Upper Silesia, is Poland's largest and most historically valuable underground lead-silver-zinc mine. Its mining history dates back to the Middle Ages and has made significant contributions to global lead and zinc production.
Sulfur: Primarily distributed in southeastern Poland, Tarnobrzeg is a major sulfur producer. In 1952, Poland discovered a large sulfur deposit in Tarnobrzeg, which ranks third in the world in reserves. The raw ore contains approximately 20%-28% sulfur. A mining plant began construction in 1960, with a current mining capacity of 5,000 tons per day using open-pit mining methods.
Limestone and marl are primarily found in southern and central Poland, such as in the Opole Voivodeship, the Krakow-Częstochowsko-Wileń region, the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, and the Lubelskie Voivodeship. These regions have large mines for the cement and lime industries, with annual production exceeding one million tons. Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship produces the largest annual output, exceeding 22 million tons, while Opole Voivodeship produces over 9 million tons.
