LutopanLutopan, also known as DAS or Don Andres Soriano (from the name of the founder of the copper mines), is a hilly and well-populated barangay in Toledo City about 44 km from Cebu City, Philippines. The place was once progressive, but due to the closure of the copper mine in the early 1990s due to a number of reasons, it has declined drastically. Nevertheless, skilled workers coming from the mine have found ways to find a job, many of them working abroad. There are estimates that the copper deposits can still last over 20 years of operation. While buyers have continuously been scouted since the company's closure, there are some government and non-government efforts to study the best courses of action for the site, including propositions to develop it as a tourism area.
