V. Detailed introduction on Khoam Bang multi-metal mine area - Khoam Bang Mountain is a part of the m-wide and 7000m-long strip of ultramafic-magma rocks containing multi- metal ores (Cu, Ni, Co, Au, etc.). This strip is arc-shaped and surrounds the 518m- mountain peak. - Khoam Bang Mountain can be considered as a multi-metal laterite mine with the main metals: Cu, Ni, and Fe. In addition, Cr, W, Au, and Co are also the accompanying elements. The amount of ore is high and the mining conditions are convenient because the mine is completely open-cast. - Khoam Bang mine covers an area of 25ha, of which 5.3 ha is the top of the mountain - Khoam Bang mine comprises 2 types of ore: + Type 1: ore in the bedrocks below the weathered zone + Type 2: ore in the weathered zone - Khoam Bang mine is bordered by altered diorite masses
