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

The current mining operation of mineral resources in Quang Ninh province-Vietnam is increasingly complicated. Correspondingly, the management of the mine sites becomes more difficult. Records and documents of minerals and mine sites are archived in different forms. Database systems are stored dispersedly and insufficiently; in many cases lack accuracy, topicality and have not been linked to each other systematically. These lead to many difficulties in accessing and extracting information for the implementation of management as well as for investors and people with related interest. In this paper an advanced software has been developed for the management of mineral resources and has been applied for Quang Ninh province. The software has improved the supervision and administration of the mining operation in the province.
