Stricter Mineral Management: What Should Mining Companies Do?
According to information published in the March 2, 2026 print edition of Hà Nội Mới, the implementation of the 2024 Law on Geology and Minerals (effective from July 1, 2025) is creating significant changes in mineral resource management across Vietnam.
The key highlights include improving the mining licensing framework, strengthening supervision of extraction activities, increasing the accountability of local authorities and enterprises, and ensuring rational, efficient exploitation aligned with environmental protection requirements.
In this context, Vietnam’s mining industry is entering a phase of stricter governance and more professional management standards.
Key Changes Under the 2024 Law on Geology and Minerals
The synchronization of legal frameworks and stronger enforcement directly impacts mining enterprises in three major areas:
1. Tighter Licensing and Supervision
Licensing procedures are being standardized and more strictly controlled. Mining activities will be subject to more frequent monitoring to prevent resource losses and ensure operations remain within approved capacity limits.
2. Increased Legal Responsibility for Enterprises
Mining companies must ensure transparency in reserve reporting, production output, financial obligations, and post-mining environmental restoration commitments. Violations may result in suspension or revocation of licenses.
3. Stronger Focus on Sustainable Mining
Mineral extraction is no longer solely about maximizing output. It must now prioritize resource efficiency, environmental protection, and long-term development sustainability.
How Should Mining Companies Prepare?
In response to the updated regulatory framework, mining enterprises should proactively:
Review all legal documentation and existing mining licenses
Standardize reserve and production reporting systems
Invest in technologies that reduce mineral losses
Upgrade environmental monitoring and management systems
Implement digital solutions for mine management and operational control
Early adaptation will help companies mitigate legal risks and strengthen their competitive advantage under stricter regulatory oversight.
