Sin Quyen Copper ore mine came into its production stage in 2006 with the initial raw ore output of 700,000 tons (234,000m3) and 2,500,000m3 of the overburden. In the coming years, as its production plans, the mine has to increase the raw ore output to 2.2 - 2.4 million tons with 8-9 million m3 of the overburden. For meeting these purposes, the mine has studied on the physic-mechanical properties of rock for making the rock maps and applying them to the production process at the Sin Quyen Copper Ore Mine.
