The Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee sent a dispatch to the local environment and natural resources department to ask the latter to complete final necessary procedures to impose administrative environmental fines on Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company.
The committee also asked the company to immediately stop pumping untreated waste water into the Bong Mieu River.
Operating two gold mines in Quang Nam from 2006, Besra has produced over 200,000 ounces of gold in Vietnam since then, with 50,000 ounces in 2012 and 60,000 ounces in 2013 as expected.
According to VIR’s source, on January 23, the provincial leaders will meet with Besra to settle down the environmental pollution issue.
