Three-month suspension of titan mine over reservoir collapse
Vietnam’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has suspended the titan exploitation at Nam Suui Nhum mine for three months due to a reservoir collapse. The 3,000-cubic-metre reservoir of Tan Quang Cuong Ltd. in the Ham Thuan Nam District of Binh Thuan collapsed on June 16, spilling over onto a 19.600-square-metre area of residential houses and a resort, and isolating 200 metres of roads. MONRE has asked the company to clean up the site, repair the damaged area, and compensate local people who suffered loss.
