Lao Cai - Due to the failure to extend the mining license at Minh Luong gold mine, the stock price of Lao Cai Gold Joint Stock Company decreased sharply.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment of Lao Cai province has just organized the handover of the Minh Luong gold mine (total area of 528,648.5 m2) to the local government for management according to regulations.

According to the investigation, the Minh Luong gold mine in Minh Luong commune, Van Ban district of Lao Cai Gold Joint Stock Company was licensed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (now the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) to exploit the original gold ore in 2011; extended in December 2016, expired in April 2019.

Before the license expired, this enterprise submitted a request for an extension of the mineral exploitation license but it had not been accepted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment because it did not meet the requirements according to regulations.
