The Dong Pao mine is one of the largest rare earths mines in Vietnam.[1] The mine is located in northern Vietnam, in Sìn Hồ District of Lai Châu Province.[2] The mine has reserves amounting to 7 million tonnes of ore grading 5% RE, located in a syenite intrusion.[1]

Until about 2015, the mine had been operated by two Japanese firms, Toyota Tsusho and Sojitz; however operations ceased when the Chinese flooded the rare-earth market lowering prices.[3]

Dong Pao Revival 2023

[edit]

In 2023, Australian mining company Black Stone Minerals and Vietnam Rare Earth announced they were preparing to bid for a licence to operate the Dong Pao mine.[4] Two weeks later, however, several key executives at VRE were arrested for tax evasion.[5] This saw the US Geological Survey halve its expected output for Vietnam in 2023 from 1,200 tons of rare earths to just 600 tons.[6]
