Chinese province proposes cooperation in aluminium mining, processing with Cao Bang
Guangxi, one of China’s largest aluminium industry hubs, is seeking to establish cooperation with Vietnam’s Cao Bang province in aluminium mining and processing.
Leaders of Guangxi province have repeatedly expressed their interest in partnering with Cao Bang in the exploration, production and processing of aluminium-based products during recent meetings.
On July 21, Secretary of the Party Committee of Cao Bang Quan Minh Cuong met with representatives of Guangxi Investment Group – a wholly state-owned enterprise with 270 subsidiaries and 32,000 workers.
At the meeting, Cuong welcomed Guangxi’s interest and cooperative spirit, while stressing the importance of environmental protection and waste treatment in the mining and processing of minerals, particularly bauxite.
He also highlighted difficulties in accurately determining ore reserves due to inconsistent survey data, clarifying that thorough exploration is essential to ensuring effective and sustainable mining strategy.
Cuong proposed flexible cooperation models such as a joint venture, capital and technical support, tailored to local conditions and capacities.
The Guangxi Investment Group affirmed its commitment to using cutting-edge technologies in its production processes. The firm noted it had developed a treatment system capable of reducing red mud discharge by 30%. It also expressed its intention to carry out exploration activities in several northern localities of Vietnam, including Cao Bang, to assess the feasibility of potential mineral projects.
