Currently, Son La does not have any licensed quarries for leveling soil, causing a shortage in the supply of construction materials.

3 soil mines in Moc Chau district: soil mine in sub-area 19/5, soil mine in Chieng Ve area (Chieng Son commune), soil mine for leveling the area next to National Highway 43, Phieng Luong commune with a total area of over 18.5 hectares.

3 soil mines in Van Ho district, including 2 mines in Hua Tat hill area, Van Ho commune and soil mine in Chieng Khoa commune, total area of nearly 10 hectares.

These are mineral mines that have been added by the Provincial People's Council to the planning for exploration, exploitation, and use of minerals as common construction materials; they are not in the area that has been demarcated and not subject to auction of mining rights.

For the auction to be successful and in accordance with regulations, the Provincial People's Committee requires that the auction be organized in a transparent, public, continuous, equal manner, protecting the rights and legitimate interests of the participating parties.

Assign the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to preside over and prepare documents and files before and after the auction. Determine the starting price, price steps for the auction, the deposit amount of the organization participating in the auction and the estimated budget for the Mineral Exploration Project to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for approval. Select and contract to hire a professional auction organization to conduct the auctions according to regulations.

The implementation of auctions serves as a legal basis for granting mineral operation licenses according to regulations. Thereby, it aims to manage, exploit, and use reasonably and economically, meeting the needs of socio-economic development, promoting mineral potential, attracting investment in exploration, effectively exploiting mineral resources, and increasing state budget revenue.

Along with that, the People's Committee of Son La province is also preparing to put 3 quarries for sand production materials in Moc Chau and Van Ho districts into auction for exploitation rights in areas that have not been explored for minerals: Quarry for sand production materials in Sub-area 19/5, Moc Chau Farm town, Moc Chau district, area of over 4.6 hectares including 2 areas;

Quarry for raw materials to produce sand in Dao village, To Mua commune, Van Ho district, area of nearly 1.8 hectares; Quarry for raw materials to produce sand in Thuong Cuong village (zone 2), Van Ho commune, Van Ho district, area of 5 hectares.
