Pioneering sustainable industrial transformation - developing a critical minerals technology hub at Masan High-Tech's Nui Phao operations in Northern Vietnam
The global shift toward sustainable industrialisation necessitates innovative approaches to resource development, particularly in the critical minerals sector. This presentation explores the potential for establishing an advanced industrial technology hub at Masan High-Tech's Nui Phao existing poly- metallic mine in northern Vietnam, leveraging the existing licensed mining space and downstream tungsten processing site. The aim is to expand on the initial mining, mineral processing, and refining to the next phase of industrial development. Building upon the established expertise in complex hydrometallurgical processing, this proposed expansion represents the next logical step in developing a fully integrated, high-value industrial hub. This initiative aims to create a vertically integrated processing and refining centre that enhances Vietnam's critical minerals supply chain role by drawing parallels with successful global models such as HC Starck's industrial hub in Goslar, Germany and the Kwinana Strategic Industrial area south of Perth, Western australia. By capitalising on an educated workforce, competitive power costs, and lower CaPEX and OPEX, the hub will drive innovation while incorporating best practices in energy efficiency, waste reduction, and circular economy principles. Beyond economic benefits, this development will support global sustainability goals and supply chain security, demonstrating how emerging economies can leverage existing strengths to pioneer responsible industrial growth.
