Notes:
At present. Vietnam exploits and processes an average quantity of 1.000 kg of gold per year.
It is projected that gold mines and ore spots managed and licensed by localities will contribute a total output of around 2.000 kg of gold/year during 2010 - 2015 and around 3.000 kg of gold/year after 2015.
Gold refining will be carried out by gold. sliver and gem companies or banks.

Notes:
Total output of crude ores exploited from small-scale mining spots will be around 1 million tons/year with a total investment capital of around VND 600 billion. All purified ores will be used for copper refining.
Total volume of purified ores will be around 220.000 tons/year, enough for increasing the metallurgical output to 50.000 tons of copper/year by 2016. and for maintaining or increasing this output after 2016 if the post-exploration and upgrading copper reserve is larger.

During 2010-2015. purified copper ores will be additionally supplied by Nui Phao polymetal ore exploitation and processing plant for copper refining in Yen Bai.
3. Investment in copper mills in Son La. Yen Bai and Quang Nam will be accurately
determined on the basis of reliably explored copper reserves and specifically calculated
economic efficiency ion a small scale and environmental consequences especially SO2).
