Accelerate investment in key projects
On August 19, TKV started construction of 5 key projects and works, with a total investment of nearly 6,000 billion VND. These are: Underground mining of the Ha Rang mine expansion (Hon Gai Coal Company), with a capacity of 900,000 tons/year, over 1,400 billion VND; mining of the Coc Sau - Deo Nai mine cluster, with a capacity of 2.7 million tons/year, about 2,074 billion VND; underground mining of Tan Yen area - Dong Trang Bach mine, with a capacity of 0.45 million tons/year, 1,111 billion VND; Nam Mau coal screening plant, with a capacity of 2.5 million tons/year, 1,019 billion VND; and underground workers' dormitory of Nui Beo Coal Joint Stock Company, with a capacity of 299 billion VND.
The Ha Rang mine expansion underground mining project is one of the key projects of TKV. The project has a reserve of over 8.9 million tons of clean coal at the exploitation level from -50 to -250m; the exploitation period is 17 years, contributing 230 billion VND to the budget each year. After the groundbreaking ceremony, Hon Gai Coal Company is speeding up the construction progress of important items of the project. In which, focusing on human resources and machinery to implement basic construction tunnel excavation at 3 tunnel mirrors, striving to achieve 180-200m of new tunnels/month.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Dang, Deputy Director of Hon Gai Coal Company, emphasized: The project being implemented at this time is of special importance in the development strategy of the Company. The project uses the method of opening the seam by inclined shaft combined with penetrating the seam, applying the long column mining system along the direction and modern mechanized technology; the longwall is supported by a mobile frame or soft frame, depending on geological conditions. According to the plan, the first longwall will be put into operation in the first quarter of 2028. When put into operation, the project is expected to contribute nearly 40% of the Company's raw coal output, while focusing on ensuring labor safety, protecting the environment and optimizing production costs.
In Quang Ninh province, TKV is managing and operating 48 collective housing areas with nearly 3,200 apartments, providing accommodation for more than 12,300 workers. To meet the housing needs of workers, TKV is investing in building many new collective housing areas, designed to be spacious, modern, and synchronized with utilities serving the life, activities and essential needs of workers.
In particular, the project to build a collective house for underground workers of Nui Beo Coal Joint Stock Company has a total area of nearly 5,500m2 , of which the construction area is nearly 1,800m2 . The project is designed in a modern style, including 1 basement, 11 floors with 389 closed rooms, 4 common living areas ensuring full essential living facilities, a safe, clean and civilized living environment for hundreds of workers. The project includes 2 staircases, 3 elevators, of which 2 elevators are used for fire fighting combined with passenger and cargo transportation. The project is installed with an internet network system, LAN network, surveillance camera; public address system, incident reporting.
Mr. Doan Dac Tho, Director of Nui Beo Coal Joint Stock Company, said: The goal of the Project is to create a place for resting and living for miners from other provinces and cities to work at the Company, contributing to improving the quality of life of miners, the development of the coal industry, and Quang Ninh province. The completed project is one of the modern dormitories of TKV today.
In addition to the above 5 projects, TKV is promoting and speeding up the progress of many other key projects and works to improve production capacity and meet development requirements in the coming period.
Modernize production lines
In the 2025-2030 period, TKV aims to become a strong economic group, playing an important role in the development of the economy, continuing to affirm its pivotal position in ensuring national energy security; at the same time, developing sustainably, in harmony with the environment and implementing comprehensive digital transformation.
Over the years, TKV has been steadfast in its goal of sustainable development, considering investment in key projects as the “key” to improving production capacity, ensuring energy security and making a positive contribution to the country's economic growth. In the 2020-2024 period, the Group invested nearly VND 85,000 billion, of which capital for key projects accounted for a large proportion, focusing on key areas such as underground coal mining, processing, consumption, minerals, electricity, mechanics, mining chemicals and infrastructure serving production.
Key underground coal mines such as Khe Cham, Mao Khe, Nui Beo, Vang Danh... have been invested in and expanded, applying synchronous conveyor systems, ventilation, drainage and centralized control, gradually replacing manual labor, improving safety and productivity. Many large projects have shown remarkable effectiveness, such as: Khe Cham III underground mining project, increasing mining capacity to 2 million tons/year; Nui Beo underground mine with a capacity of 2 million tons/year, is considered one of TKV's modern mines.
In the mineral sector, TKV focuses on deep processing to increase product value, including the Nhan Co bauxite ore processing plant with a capacity of 650,000 tons of alumina/year; the Lao Cai copper smelter expansion project, increasing the capacity to 30,000 tons of copper/year. These projects not only bring economic efficiency, but also affirm TKV's role in the mineral production and processing chain. In the electricity sector, the Group continues to stably operate the Na Duong, Cao Ngan, and Son Dong thermal power plants, ensuring electricity supply to the national power system.
In order to improve productivity and safety, TKV has identified mechanization, automation and digital transformation as breakthroughs. To date, the Group has put into operation dozens of coal cutting machine systems, self-propelled support frames, and continuous covered conveyor belts, helping to increase underground mining productivity by 10-15%, saving hundreds of billions of VND in production costs each year. Applying a centralized production management system (Dispatching), applying digital technology in monitoring underground safety, managing coal consumption and corporate governance. Ha Lam, Ha Tu, Deo Nai - Coc Sau Coal Companies have pioneered the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in monitoring the mine environment, automating conveyor belt operations and managing means of transport.
In addition to the growth target, TKV focuses on environmental protection and sustainable development. Many environmental treatment projects have been implemented, such as a mine wastewater treatment system with a capacity of tens of thousands of m³/day; planting trees to restore the environment after mining and installing automatic monitoring equipment... In 2024, the Group will spend nearly 1,500 billion VND on environmental protection. At the same time, it will invest in building collective housing, cultural living areas, and medical stations at many units, contributing to ensuring social security, improving the lives of mine workers, and helping miners feel secure in their long-term commitment to the profession.
Mr. Vu Anh Tuan, General Director of the Group, affirmed: TKV always determines that investment plays a key role. In 2025, the Group will implement an investment plan with a total value of VND 11,000 billion. Of which, the coal industry is VND 8,044 billion; the electricity industry is VND 1,407 billion; the mineral industry is VND 862 billion. The Group focuses on implementing projects on schedule, especially investing in new mines, innovating technology, completing production infrastructure, maintaining equipment, mechanizing mining and tunneling; at the same time, building coal processing and screening centers and modern conveyor systems.
With strategic orientation and determination in implementation, TKV's key projects have been and are being effective, contributing to ensuring energy security, stabilizing the macro economy, and promoting industrial development. In the context of increasing demand for coal, electricity and minerals, TKV continues to promote investment, striving to reach coal output of 48-50 million tons by 2030, aluminum output of 3 million tons, and copper output of 30,000 tons. Focusing on investment in current key projects not only brings about production and business efficiency but also creates momentum for TKV to develop sustainably in the future.
