Salingyi Township is a township in Yinmabin District in the Sagaing Division of Myanmar.[1] The principal town is Salingyi.

Over 7,800 acres (3,200 ha) of farmland have been confiscated in the township to establish a copper mine in Letpadaung, which will be jointly owned by the Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings (UMEHL) and the Chinese-owned Wenbao Copper Company, a subsidiary of Norinco.[2][3]
