The inspection period is set from January 1, 2019, to June 30, 2024. However, if necessary, related matters outside this period may also be considered. The duration of an inspection shall not exceed 45 working days from the date of announcement of the inspection decision.
The inspection team is expected to complete its task by November 25, 2025. The inspection results will be consolidated and submitted to the Chief Inspector of the province for the issuance of conclusions before December 25, 2025. Subsequently, the provincial inspectorate will compile and submit a report on the inspection outcomes to the Provincial People’s Committee and the Government Inspectorate before December 31, 2025.
Previously, at the 10th meeting of the Dak Lak Provincial People’s Council, term X, for the 2021–2026 tenure, held in late June 2025, the shortcomings in mineral resource management were highlighted. The supervisory report indicated that from 2020 to 2024, despite some progress, illegal mineral exploitation remained prevalent.
Numerous unlicensed brick production facilities were operating, and some enterprises extracting sand in violation of planning continued their activities. The management of overloaded transport vehicles was not strictly enforced, leading to road damage.
Although inspections and examinations were intensified, the quality of handling remained limited, and violations persisted. Post-mining environmental monitoring was not rigorously conducted, and many mines failed to implement environmental rehabilitation as stipulated.
Furthermore, instances of overexploitation and the use of unauthorized stockpiling areas were common. The main reasons were attributed to the lack of close coordination between functional agencies and local governments, along with the use of unrigorously inspected extraction technology.
