At the meeting, Deputy Minister Do Huu Hao stated that the Cao Bang Mining - Metallurgy Complex project is in accordance with Decision No. 10/2009/QD-TTg, the high alloy cast steel billet product in the project is in item No. 7 of the List of key mechanical products from 2009 to 2015. The project's objective is also consistent with project group No. 4 of the List of investment projects in the production of key mechanical products from 2009 to 2015. Representatives of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade all affirmed that the project is very convincing and effective, applying Direct Regeneration technology to open up new technology that does not cause environmental pollution (an issue that all levels and sectors are currently concerned about) while creating higher added values than exports and importantly, taking advantage of the country's natural resources, at the same time the project also recognizes received the attention of the Prime Minister, Cao Bang Province and neighboring provinces. However, the issue that the appraisal council is concerned about is whether the input raw materials are sufficient to meet the factory's capacity or not? And this is also the issue that MIREX Company has recognized and actively asked Cao Bang Province to support and provide more mines for the company. The Provincial People's Committee, Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Department of Planning and Investment of Cao Bang Province have committed to providing enough raw materials for MIREX Company so that the factory can operate stably.

At the end of the meeting, Deputy Minister Do Huu Hao concluded:
