REGULATION
ON DOCUMENTS AND
PROCEDURES FOR RECOGNITION OF TEMPORARY NORMS FOR CALCULATION OF SOLID MINERAL
DEPOSITS
(Promulgated together with Decision No. 02/2006/QD-BTNMT of January 27,
2006, of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment)
Chapter I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 1.- Regulation scope
This Regulation uniformly provides documents and
procedures for recognition of temporary norms for calculation of solid mineral
deposits.
...
...
...
Please sign up or sign in to your Pro Membership to see English documents.
1. This Regulation applies to domestic and
foreign organizations and individuals (hereinafter called organizations and
individuals for short) that are engaged in the exploration of solid minerals,
except for minerals used as common building materials and peat.
2. Solid mineral exploration reports, before
being submitted to the Mineral Deposit Evaluating Council (hereafter called
Council for short) for approval, which shall serve as a basis for elaboration
of feasibility study reports and schemes on construction designing or
improvement of mines, must identify temporary norms for deposit calculation to
be submitted to the Council for recognition.
Article 3.- Temporary norms
for calculation of solid mineral deposits
Temporary norms for calculation of solid mineral
deposits (hereafter called temporary norms for deposit calculation for short)
mean a combination of requirements on mineral quality and deposits as well as
exploitation econo-technical conditions of mineral mines. The parameters of
temporary norms for deposit calculation shall be limiting values used for
blocking and calculating deposits of solid mineral beds.
Chapter II
SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Article 4.- Documents of request for
recognition of temporary norms for deposit calculation
A document of request for recognition of
temporary norms for deposit calculation shall comprise:
1. A written explanation, briefly describing:
...

b/ The geological composition characteristics of
mineral beds;
c/ The exploration work which has been performed;
d/ The mineral quality characteristics and
detailed explanations on the grounds for selection of limiting values of
deposit calculating-norm parameters, based on geological data, material
composition, technological nature and mining technical conditions gathered in
the mine-exploration process, state standards, branch standards, industrial
requirements and deposit-calculating norms applicable to mines with geological
structure, material composition and exploitation conditions similar to those
being under exploitation or already explored in the region; the results of
deposit estimation according to planned norms.
2. Drawings, including:
a/ A geological map on mineral bed distribution;
b/ A field map;
c/ A map on the location of exploration works;
d/ A blocking and deposit-calculating plan, made
according to planned norms;
e/ Geological cross-sections (or
deposit-calculating geological cross-sections).

a/ A copy of the mineral exploration permit,
notarized by the state public notary;
b/ A report on results of technological sample
research;
c/ A statistical table on results of analysis of
useful and harmful mineral components;
d/ A table on average values of useful and
harmful mineral components;
e/ A table on calculation of deposit and volume
of cleft earth according to planned norms;
Article 5.- Contents of
temporary norms for deposit calculation
1. For metal and nonmetal mines:
a/ The marginal content of useful components (or
converted into the content of a major useful component, conventional for a
general mine). The marginal content of useful components provided for single
samples when geological boundaries of mineral beds are unclear;
b/ The minimum industrial content of useful
components (or converted into the content of a major useful component,
conventional for a general mine). The norm of minimum industrial content
provided for mineral deposit-calculating blocks. In special cases, this norm
may be provided for a group of deposit blocks or for a whole small mine;

d/ The minimum ore ratio of the
deposit-calculating block. This norm shall apply to mines with discontinuous or
nest-type distribution of useful minerals when the deposit that meets the set
norms cannot be zoned off separately on the basis of geological standards or
econo-technical conditions and the deposit calculation must be conducted
through probability check within a mineral zone (ore seam, ore bed);
e/ The minimum thickness of the mineral bed (ore
seam, bed and lode) or the minimum percentage-based (or gram-based) metric
product;
f/ The permitted maximum thickness of the rock
or ore layer which fails to meet the norm for those lying inside a mineral bed
and which is zoned off within the deposit calculation boundaries;
g/ The minimum deposits of single mineral beds
which lie separately and can be exploited independently;
h/ The maximum depth for deposit calculation and
the limiting thickness of cap stones or the maximum cleaving ratio;
Apart from the provisions of Clause 1 of this
Article, depending on geological structure characteristics, exploitation
technical conditions of mines, mineral types, material composition of minerals,
fields of mineral use and industrial requirements, norms must be added to suit
each specific subject.
2. For coal and pyro-schist mines:
a/ The minimum thickness of a coal seam or
pyro-schist seam; with regard to multi-layer seams, it is the thickness of the
layer exploited independently;
b/ The maximum thickness of streaks in a coal
seam, for wholly-exploited seams with complicated structure, or the minimum
thickness of a streak, for those streaks which must be cleft separately and the
division of the coal seam into separate parts is required;

d/ The limiting exploitation depth, for pit
mining;
e/ The limiting cleaving ratio, for opencast
mining.
Article 6.- Order and
procedures for recognition of temporary norms for deposit calculation
Within 15 working days after receiving valid
dossiers under the provisions of Article 4 and 5 of this Regulation, the
Council's Office shall have to organize the examination of dossiers and drafts
of temporary norms for deposit calculation, send them to the Council members
and finalize reports to be submitted to the Council Chairman for consideration
and recognition.
In the course of considering temporary norms for
deposit calculation, if errors in relevant data or documents are detected,
concerned organizations and individuals shall have to supply, supplement and
perfect them at the request of the Council's Office.
Chapter III
IMPLEMENTATION PROVISIONS
