The agency has conducted preliminary surveys of hundreds of mineral sites of all kinds, and zoned many potential areas for resources assessment and identification. It has also discovered signs of potential mineral mines, such as rare earth in weathered crust in the northwest and central regions, or metal minerals in the northwest region, while detecting signs of tectonic activities and faults as well as landslides in order to give alerts of natural disasters.
State management over geology and mineral resources will be strengthened (Photo: VNA)Last year, the department launched its online public services and upgraded its website to a portal to provide information of State management activities over geology and mineral resources.
The department plans to apply national technical standards in its activities, while promoting the application of information technology in building e-government in the natural resources and environment sector./.
