The Ulan coal mines are in the district. During the 19th century, the area was a major goldmining area and the district also produces marble, pottery clays, shale and dolomite. The tourism industry is also a growing industry based largely on the wineries. A laboratory was established in 1987 to test meat for pesticide residues.

- Some fantastic wineries in Mudgee -- Bunnamagoo is one of my favourites. Robert Black, their winemaker, is a genius with stickies.
