Application of information technology to improve the management of mineral resources in Quang Ninh province - Vietnam

Abstract

The current mining operation of mineral resources in QuangNinh province-Vietnam is increasingly complicated. Correspondingly, themanagement of the mine sites becomes more difficult. Records anddocuments of minerals and mine sites are archived in different forms.Database systems are stored dispersedly and insufficiently; in many caseslack accuracy, topicality and have not been linked to each othersystematically. These lead to many difficulties in accessing and extractinginformation for the implementation of management as well as for investorsand people with related interest. In this paper an advanced software hasbeen developed for the management of mineral resources and has beenapplied for Quang Ninh province. The software has improved thesupervision and administration of the mining operation in the province.
