In the past, the Cham people dug deep into the mountain at the Bong Mieu mine, then used the water power of the surrounding streams to extract the ore and gold.

During the Nguyen Dynasty, the emperors called upon experienced miners to help the country. At this time, there were five methods of organizing mining: organized by the imperial court, undertaken by Chinese merchants, exploited by ethnic minority chieftains, owned by Vietnamese mine owners, and exploited by local people who then paid taxes.

Besides the metal mines in the North, the Bong Mieu mine was also exploited by the Nguyen dynasty. After the French colonized Vietnam, in 1890, the French built a factory in the Co Bay valley to continue gold mining there.
