industry of exploitation and processing, of precious stone, rare earth and
uranium ores on the basis of natural resource advantages and available domestic
market as well as socioeconomic conditions and infrastructure in each mineral
area;
- To develop the
industry of exploitation and processing of rare earth ores in cooperation and
association with foreign groups and companies in order to take advantage of
their technologies and product outlets;
- To exploit, process
and use uranium ores for peaceful purposes. The Stale holds a monopoly in

exploring mines and mining spots of precious stone, rare earth and uranium ores
which have been surveyed and assessed in order to provide reliable reserves for
the exploitation and processing needs in the planning periods:
- To conduct thorough
and economical exploitation combined with deep processing of precious stone,
rare earth and uranium ores with advanced technologies. To ensure the efficient
exploitation and processing and the eco-environmental protection in localities
where mineral activities are conducted.
- To strive for the
following targets of exploited mineral and deep-processing product outputs:
...

+ Rare earths: By
2015. to exploit and separately process rare earth oxide (REO) products with a
total output of 10.000 tons of REO. and successfully produce some rare earth
metals on a small scale. By 2025. to double that output (20.000 tons of REO).
and strive for the production of some applied products of rare earths.
+ Uranium: By 2025.
to step by step perform some stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, proceeding to
producing nuclear fuels from domestically exploited natural uranium. At the
initial stage, to produce technical uranium (yellow cake) from sandstone ores
in Nong Son area, and subsequently step by step conduct processes of
manufacturing ceramic pellets and natural uranium and enriched uranium fuel
bars (under the plan on hire of foreign processors or import of enriched raw
materials) for domestic nuclear power plants.
III.
FORECAST PRECIOUS STONE, RARE EARTH AND URANIUM NEEDS
Precious stone, rare
earth and uranium needs are forecast as follows:
Fa Rong mine: Khe Cao
and other assessed areas with expected outputs of 4,000. 4,000 and 6,000 tons
of U3Os, respectively.

- To organize survey
and research to discover and find B- and C-level potential areas. If the
results are positive, exploration will be conducted after 2015.
2. Exploration of
rare earth ores
- In the 2008-2015

- In the 2016-2020
period: To explore South Nam Xe mine.
3. Exploration of
uranium ores
During 2008-2015, to
explore Pa Lua mine:
(Quy Chau, Nghe An)
and Truc Lau (Km 51), Nuoc Lanh and Vinh Dong (Luc Yen, Yen Bai) with an annual
output of between 20,000-50,000 m3 of ores per mine. To intensively
invest in existing establishments engaged in fashioning and heat treatment of
precious stones. To call for foreign investment in the processing and
fashioning of precious and semi-precious stones and jewelry on the basis of
Vietnam's advantage of cheap and skilled laborers in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh
cities, combined with tourism;
- From 2016 to 2025:
To develop the exploitation of mines of Ban Khum-Ban Ken, Pom Lau and Cha
Lim-Dong Xuong (Nghe An) and a jade mine of Co Phuong (Son La) and other areas
on the basis of discovery, exploration and assessment results in the previous
period. To further invest in upgrading existing fashioning establishments and
call for investment in the production of high-class products from domestically
exploited and imported material.

- In the. 2008-2015
period: To concentrate on exploiting Dong Pao mine, with an annual output of
around 200.000 tons of exploited and preliminarily processed rare earth ores.
Post-sorting pure rare earth ores will be of 45% REX), accompanied by
byproducts of pure barite ore 95%
(BaSO4) and fluorite ore 97% (CaF2).
These pure ores will further be hydrolyzed into separate
Ce, La, Pr
and Nd oxides and REO2, of the
heavy element group. The total output of these separate rare earth
oxides will be around 10,000 tons/year, which will largely be exported. The
small volume will be domestically used.
To invest in and
commence the exploitation of Yen Phu mine for many heavy elements with an
output of 3,000-5.000 tons of REO/year.
To build a
small-sized rare earth metal production establishment, which will initially
import materials from foreign countries before using separate rare earth oxides
produced from Dong Pao ores.
- In the 2016-2025
period: Depending on the market size, to put South Nam Xe mine into
exploitation. To call for investment in hi-tech projects to produce rare earth
metals and rare earth-applied products, such as accumulators, permanent
magnets, high-class abrasive powder, fertilizers and catalysts.
3. Planning on
exploitation and processing of uranium ores
Vietnam's total
uranium reserve is forecast at around 218,000 tons of U3O8.including
around 17,000 tons of ores of classes C1 and C2 and 201,000 tons of ores of
class P.
- In the 2008-2015

year) in Nong Son area.
At the initial stage,
to produce technical uranium (yellow cake) from ores. Subsequently, to step by
step perform the stages of manufacturing ceramic pellets and natural uranium
and enriched uranium fuel bars (under the plan on hire of foreign processors or
import of enriched raw materials).

solutions and policies
- Encouraging the
deep processing of precious stone, rare earth and uranium ores into highquality
products for domestic consumption and export.
- Stepping up the
decentralization of responsibilities to manage natural resources, perfecting
regulations and intensifying the organization of bidding for mineral
activities, especially exploitation and processing of precious stone ores;
establishing joint-stock companies with the participation of organizations and
individuals that invest in all stages from exploration, exploitation to
processing. Encouraging the diversification of forms of ownership to attract
domestic and foreign resources for developing the exploitation and processing
of precious stone and rare earth ores in the direction of prioritizing capable
domestic enterprises; entering into joint ventures and associations with
foreign parties in processing activities that require high techniques and technologies,
for example processing of rare earths.
