On February 2, 1965, the officials and people of Uong Bi town and the Vang Danh Coal Mine had the honor of welcoming President Ho Chi Minh. During this visit, President Ho Chi Minh instructed: “Currently, the Uong Bi Power Plant and the Vang Danh Mine are among the largest and most modern enterprises in our country. Coal and electricity are essential for industry and agriculture. You all must strive to produce more, faster, better, and cheaper.” President Ho Chi Minh's words served as a great motivation for generations of officials and workers at the Vang Danh mine to strive to complete their tasks well, continuously increasing coal production to serve the socio-economic development of the province and the country.

In February 1965, the Vang Danh Coal Mine began coal mining after a period of design and restoration. That year, over 29,600 tons of raw coal were extracted and over 14,400 tons of clean coal were produced. These were the first achievements of the Vang Danh miners. Since then, with the tradition of "Discipline and Unity," with a spirit of hard work and high determination, generations of Vang Danh miners have bravely overcome difficulties, quickly embarking on leveling mountains, building roads, constructing houses, restoring and resuming production. Throughout their production journey, there were times when they faced seemingly insurmountable difficulties, but the more challenging the situation, the more the Vang Danh miners upheld the spirit of "discipline and unity," "unity - overcoming difficulties," maintaining unwavering faith in the Party and unwavering determination.

Thanks to the spirit of the miners, the production and business of the Vang Danh Coal Mine in its early days, later the Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company, gradually stabilized and grew. In 1997 (33 years after the mine's establishment), the Vang Danh Coal Mine's coal production exceeded its designed capacity of 600,000 tons/year for the first time. Ten years later (2007), production increased fivefold (reaching 3,042,532 tons), marking a significant milestone in output. Since then, the Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company's production has consistently met and exceeded the targets set by the Group. For example, in 2022, despite simultaneously producing and responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, the company still achieved its targets for raw coal production exceeding 4.2 million tons, sales exceeding 3.8 million tons, revenue exceeding 6,743 billion VND, average income of 20 million VND/person/month, and tax contributions of nearly 1,200 billion VND.

Over the past 60 years, the company has welcomed over 200,000 employees. These workers actively participated in production emulation movements, overcoming difficulties, investing in science, technology, and new technologies to increase coal mining productivity and output; gradually mastering and transforming technology from wooden supports and friction columns to single hydraulic columns, XDY-1T2/LY mobile hydraulic supports, KDT-1 support systems, ZH1.600/16/24Z frame supports… The collective efforts and unity of the Vang Danh miners have resulted in the excavation of over 960 km of mine tunnels and the extraction of over 80 million tons of raw coal, making a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of Quang Ninh and the country.

Mr. Pham Van Minh, former Party Secretary and former Director of the Company, affirmed: "The past 60 years have been a journey full of difficulties and challenges, but also full of persistent efforts, dedication, and enthusiasm from generations of miners at Vang Danh. The miners of Vang Danh have faithfully followed the revolutionary path chosen by the Party and President Ho Chi Minh; actively studying and emulating his thoughts, ethics, and style through concrete and practical actions to contribute to the Company's continuous development…"

With its achievements, Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company has been awarded 40 medals and decorations of various kinds, numerous commendation flags, banners, certificates of merit, and other prestigious awards by the Party, State, and various levels and sectors. In particular, the company was awarded the title of "Hero of Labor in the Renovation Period" (in 2003). These milestones mark the efforts and struggles of generations of Vang Danh miners following President Ho Chi Minh's teachings, and are a recognition of the company's immense contributions to the construction and development of the coal industry, Quang Ninh province, and the country.
