Japan’s Sado gold mines added to World Heritage record

New Delhi –
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee unanimously determined Saturday to register the Sado Island Gold Mines in central Japan as a World Cultural Heritage web site.

The web site, which was as soon as the world’s largest gold mine advanced, was authorised for inscription on the heritage record at a committee assembly in New Delhi.

In June, the International Council on Monuments and Sites, which advises the UNESCO committee, made a suggestion searching for further info on the gold mines on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture.
