Illegal gold mining still a headache in Phuoc Son District

“We have set up a patrol team of police and forest rangers for clearing illegal gold mines from the district. Two-thirds of illegal gold mines have been found since regular patrols began last year. However, some illegal mining still occurs in isolated jungle areas,” said Hoang Hoa, chief of the secretariat of the district people’s committee.
Illegal miners from other provinces flocked to the jungles to dig for gold, creating headaches for local authorities concerning security and environment pollution, according to Hoa.
