At the Mining Vietnam 2016 held in Hanoi earlier at the beginning of this year, according to experts,  Vietnam harbours the most potential as a mining market in Southeast Asia, booting its annual economic growth rate of 6 per cent. This has been driving national energy consumption as well as ensuring the stability of the mining industry. The mining sector’s potential is expected to improve in line with Vietnam’s economic growth in the future.

Vietnam is endowed with a wide variety of minerals over 5000 deposits of more than 60 types of minerals have been discovered so far, including energy minerals, as well as industrial and construction materials. Also, the country has great coal reserves with many basins mainly in Thai Nguyen, Song Da, Nong Son, and the Red River.
