The Department of Agriculture and Environment of Lao Cai province has just issued a decision to administratively sanction Dai Phat Mineral Joint Stock Company (Dai Phat Company) for violations in the field of water resources and minerals.
Dai Phat Company is headquartered in Khe Phao village, Chau Que commune. The legal representative is Mr. Dam Ngoc Cuong.
According to the decision, the enterprise submitted documents to calculate the fee for granting water resource exploitation rights on time.
