According to the decision, the closure of the sand mine aims to manage and protect the remaining undeveloped mineral resources. The closure area covers one square kilometer, with the process scheduled to be completed within 20 days. The total cost exceeds VND618 million (US$23,434), funded and directly implemented by Can Gio Urban Tourism Joint Stock Company.
