Sepon mine, owned by the largest international mining company in Laos, MMG Lane Xang Minerals Limited Sepon (LXML), is situated in a remote area of Vilabouly district, Savannakhet province—one of the most bombed districts in Lao PDR. More than 21,000 people have been killed or injured as a result of unexploded ordnance (UXO) accidents in the post-war period (1974–2018), of which 25 percent were in Savannakhet Province. This legacy brings unique challenges to mining operations, development projects, and agricultural production.

LXML has integrated UXO clearance as an essential activity in its mining cycle. This ensures employees and communities are safe and will sustain a lasting legacy for agricultural activity in the future. Additionally, LXML has invested in software and hardware via strategic partnerships to enhance technical capacity and improve clearance practices in Laos.
