Accordingly, Vietnam Construction and Import-Export Joint-Stock Corporation (VINACONEX) continues to exploit mineral resources at three land mines in Lam Giang and Phu Thai villages in Ham Tri Commune, Ham Thuan District, and Song Luy and Binh Tan communes in Bac Binh District.

Vinaconex Engineering Construction & Investment., JSC (Vinaconex E&C) exploits crushed stone chips at village 2 in Ham Can Commune, Ham Thuan Nam District.

The businesses are required to comply with and fully implement the technical standards to ensure safety, revoke a maximum number of products and make a report on mining output and mineral use to authorized agencies.

On April 1, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha signed resolution 47 on removing problems in granting exploitation licenses to serve for the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway construction project.
