Construction begins on the Dong Vong underground mining project.

On the same day, December 19th, at Uong Bi Coal Company, TKV held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Dong Vong underground mining project.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of Uong Bi Coal Company, stated that the implementation of the Dong Vong Underground Mining Project aims to effectively exploit and utilize the explored coal reserves, maintain and increase the mine's production, meet the national coal supply needs, and align with the Company's and Group's production and business development plans, as well as the National Energy Master Plan. The project will create opportunities, provide stable employment and income for employees throughout the Company, and contribute to the strong development of TKV (Vietnam Coal Corporation) in the coming years.

Since May 2024, the company has actively carried out investment preparation work for the Dong Vong underground mining project to extract coal using underground mining technology from the surface seam to the +0 level within the project's planning boundaries. To date, the project has completed investment preparation and is ready for construction commencement.

TKV held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Dong Vong underground mining project.

TKV General Director Vu Anh Tuan emphasized: Implementing the TKV Development Strategy for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2045, and the Power Development Plan VIII, TKV identifies its mission as one of the three pillars ensuring national energy security. With an average production of 38-42 million tons of coal per year, the pressure to increase production while simultaneously protecting the environment is a pressing issue.

The Dong Vong underground mining project is a clear testament to the political determination of Vietnam Coal and Mineral Group (TKV). The project has a total investment of 1,837 billion VND and a designed capacity of 600,000 tons of raw coal per year. The mine project represents a step forward in applying advanced mining technology, aiming towards a model of a "Green Mine, Clean Mine, Modern Mine, Mine with Fewer Workers".

When the project officially goes into operation (expected in 2028), the Dong Vong mine will become an important source of coal to supplement the economy, contributing directly to the state budget and Quang Ninh province, while creating thousands of stable jobs with high incomes for local workers.
