Suitable exploitation contributes to protect mineral resources in future

Posted Date: 31/08/2009
In the past years, the mineral exploitation and trading activities in Dong Nai province have been controlled closely to create big income to local budget. However, due to high demand of building materials for transport works and other projects, it is nescessary to find out suitable mineral exploitation strategies to ensure the reserve of mineral resources in the future.

The management of exploitation of mineral resources is put into order

Mineral resources in Dong Nai province mainly are building materials such as: building stone, sand, clay for production of hard-burnt tiles and bricks, puzzolane, and peat coal, etc. After 3 years of implementing the plan of mineral exploitation and processing in the 2006-2008 period”, Dong Nai People’s Committee granted the mineral survey license to 1,777.53ha in such areas as Long Thanh, Vinh Cuu, Trang Bom, Thong Nhat, Long Khanh Town and Bien Hoa City.

Thanks to better management task of mineral resources, the mineral explotation and processing activities has been gradually put into order, meeting the current demand and stabilizing the supply of mineral resources for the period after 2010. However, there were some shortcomings in implementing the mineral planning in 2006, for example, some mines of mineral resources were exploited but have not been put out of the planning to be used for other purposes. In general, “adjusting and subplementing the planning of mineral exploitation and processing until 2010 and a vision toward 2020” made by Dong Nai Department of Natural Resources and Environment basically met the demand of mineral exploitation and processing in the upcoming time.

More new mines

The goal of this project is to put mines of mineral resources out of the planning after finishing exploitation. At the same time, the planning have to be supplemented some areas that is expected to survey, and the planning period in some areas have to be adjusted suitably to meet the demand of socio-economic development. Remarkably, all quarries in Bien Hoa City will be closed to change the using purpose by 2010.

Accordingly, some areas being added to mineral exploitation planning toward 2010 include Gia Ranh commune (Dinh Quan District) with the area of 14.07ha and Dac Lua commune (Tan Phu District) with the area of 100ha, etc. As for the industrial-scale exploitation, there are 44 mines of mineral resources with a total area of 1,758.39ha. As scheduled, the project of adjusting mineral planning will be submitted to the provincial People’s Council at the next meeting.

In order to protect mineral resources in the long term, it is urgent to have suitable policy of mineral exploitation and methods of environmental protection in exploitation areas. Vice Chairman of Dong Nai People’s Committee Ao Van Thinh said that the fast economic growth in such key areas as Binh Duong province and Ho Chi Minh city is now attracting a large number of building materials, thus if Dong Nai province does not have suitable strategy for mineral exploitation planning in future, it will not keep enough natural resources to serve the social development.
