On the morning of December 20, the Department of Industry and Trade of Dak Nong province coordinated with the Department of Industry to organize a conference to disseminate the Planning for exploration, exploitation, processing and use of minerals for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.
Dak Nong currently has about 2,396 km² (accounting for about 1/3 of the province's natural area) that has been assessed to determine bauxite resources and reserves. In Plan 866, the total area of bauxite ore distribution is more than 1,670 km², accounting for 25% of the province's natural area.
With thin ore bodies, distributed on hilltops, hillsides, and large areas, the area with bauxite ore inevitably covers mineral mines used for common construction materials and other areas where economic and social activities take place. This is the main cause of overlapping planning in recent times.
Dak Nong province currently has over 1,062 projects; of which, there are 425 local public investment projects with land use needs for construction works with land areas overlapping with bauxite planning, accounting for about 6,692 hectares.
Dak Nong currently has 83/232 mineral mines for common construction materials planned to overlap with bauxite planning; of which, nearly half of the mines for filling materials are located in the planning area.
Speaking at the opening of the conference, TUV, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Trong Yen said that Dak Nong always identifies that exploiting bauxite, creating an aluminum value chain, and effectively exploiting renewable energy potential is the most optimal direction to create a breakthrough in economic and social development.
In recent times, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has accompanied and actively supported Dak Nong in implementing the two plans on minerals and electricity VIII.
That effort together with the province has only now seen a way out. However, the difficulties, obstacles and shortcomings are still not enough legal basis for the province to implement.
The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that this is truly an important conference for Dak Nong, aiming to ensure good development of the three pillars according to the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term.
Therefore, sectors and localities need to continue to propagate to the community to understand the bauxite planning and the province's renewable energy potential. From there, propose and advise solutions to help Dak Nong overcome difficulties when implementing the planning and when the Law on Geology and Minerals comes into effect.
Through the conference, sectors and localities need to resolutely accompany the recommendations related to the problems with the Prime Minister and ministries to have a solution, both focusing on exploitation and protecting bauxite.
“Dak Nong currently has 425 projects affected by bauxite planning, not all. Therefore, we must have flexible responses to these problems during the implementation process. From there, priority will be given to the implementation of urgent projects and key projects for the locality,” said Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Le Trong Yen.
