Where were the other large mines later established?

Large mines were later established in various regions around the world, notably in areas rich in mineral resources. Significant mining operations emerged in places like the Democratic Republic of the Congo for cobalt, Australia for coal and iron ore, and Canada for gold and nickel. Additionally, countries such as Chile and Peru became prominent for copper mining, while Russia and South Africa also developed extensive mining industries. These locations were often chosen for their geological advantages, infrastructure, and access to markets.
