How it's used
Used primarily in formal or geographical contexts, this term is rarely encountered in casual daily conversation. It functions as a standard noun to describe a specific area designated for mineral extraction. Unlike many other Cantonese nouns, it does not have a unique colloquial substitute, so it is used as is even in spoken Cantonese when the topic arises.
