“This license creates enormous opportunities for Cavico. The license is the final legal document required from the government for Cavico to proceed further with our exploration and construction efforts at the Thung San Mineral Mine,” said Hai Thanh Tran, vice president of Cavico.

“We are currently on schedule to complete the necessary access roads to transport our equipment to this location.”
