In 2002 it was reported by the Hyundai Research Institute that a uranium deposit exists in Wiwŏn-kun, Chagang Province. No further information is currently available.
Aerial photos show an incline tunnel into the hillside at the coordinates given. Although this could be some military facility (it is close to the Chinese border) it may well be a working of some kind on the deposit.
