Exploring bauxite ore deposits in Lam Dong

Work to mine bauxite ore deposits began at the Tan Rai mine in Bao Lam district, in the Central Highland province of Lam Dong, on March 16.

This was the first operation of the Lam Dong Bauxite-Alumina Complex, nearly four years after the mining project received approval.

The project, conducted by the Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company under the Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin), will supply materials for aluminium processing at the complex, which is scheduled to start later this year.

Addressing the event, Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang said that the Lam Dong Bauxite-Alumina project is a key industrial project in the country and the largest for Vinacomin.

The Minister assigned Vinacomin to closely coordinate with Lam Dong province to promptly put the complex into stable production, following the Government’s plan.

According to Vinacomin, despite shortages of electricity human resource, the group is trying its best to put the aluminium processing plant into trial operation by the end of the year. (VOV)
