　　In 1987, Tibetan geologist Dorjee discovered a super-large, rare glacial mineral water source located at the southern foot of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains in Damxung County, Tibet, with the water source reaching an altitude of up to 5100 meters. In October 2005, Tibet Glacier Mineral Water Co., Ltd. was established. The rare water source discovered by Dorjee was then given a name based on its altitude: 5100 Tibet Glacier Mineral Water. In August 2006, the first production line using German Krones equipment for 5100 Tibet Glacier Mineral Water was built, and the world’s highest-altitude modern water plant began trial production.

　　In May 2007, the China Mining Association recognized the glacier mineral water source at an altitude of 5100 meters in Damxung County as one of only five high-quality mineral water sources in China. In November 2009, 5100 Tibet Glacier Mineral Water “Qumalong” received geographical indication protection from the People's Republic of China.

　　Tibet is located on the “Roof of the World,” known as the Third Pole of the Earth, and boasts a naturally unpolluted geographical environment and unique geological conditions, recognized worldwide as a “sacred land” and “pure land.” The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains in the central part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have a pristine natural environment far from human pollution. The water source of 【5100 Tibet Glacier Mineral Water】 is located at the southern foot of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain Range, on the northern side of the Damxung Rift Basin, in Qumaduo Village, Gongtang Township, Damxung County, Lhasa City, Tibet, reaching an altitude of up to 5,100 meters. Scientific investigations have shown that the spring water here is a product of the regional active fault zone on the Tibetan Plateau, formed under the dual influence of magma intrusion and geothermal activity. Fed by atmospheric precipitation and glacial meltwater from high mountains, with recharge altitudes above 5,000 meters, the water undergoes years of deep underground circulation, absorbing rich beneficial minerals and trace elements. It then rises along faults to the surface, forming this precious world-class, high-end quality mineral water. The allowable daily extraction volume from this source exceeds 3,000 cubic meters, making it a super-large glacial mineral water source. After years of searching and verification, the premium glacial mineral water produced from this source has been named 【5100 Tibet Glacier Mineral Water】, representing not only the altitude of the source but also the height of quality and brand prestige. 【5100 Tibet Glacier Mineral Water】 is the first premium mineral water named after its altitude. Tibet 5100 Water Resources Holdings Limited is the founder of the glacial mineral water category and China’s largest producer of premium mineral water. Protecting and making good use of water resources will be the company’s lifelong mission; naming the brand 5100 is a testament to the company’s lofty aspirations.
