努堡W-F-Cu-Au-Bi矿床位于越南北部最贫穷的地区之一。该矿床目前正在由泰伯龙矿业有限公司进行预可行性研究，以期开发将是世界上最大的WO3矿和世界五大萤石矿之一的WO3矿。该项目的规划完全符合世界银行和国家关于环境和社会保护的准则。该矿的开发预计将带来以下好处：修复先前存在的严重环境状况(自然和人为重金属污染和酸性岩石排水)；为当地社区提供就业和培训，从而带来财富；向政府支付大量税款和特许权使用费，这些款项将作为社会支出进行再投资；发展市政和工业基础设施，以建立可持续的采矿后社区。各级政府在指导和促进这一进程方面的作用至关重要。这篇论文是在该矿开发之前撰写的，传达了开发商的意图。今后需要进行研究，以评估在矿山作业期间和关闭后实现可持续发展目标的程度。
The Nui Phao W-F-Cu-Au-Bi deposit is located in one of the poorest regions of northern Vietnam. The deposit is currently undergoing a pre-feasibility study by Tiberon Minerals Ltd., with a view to developing what would be the largest WO3 mine and one of the five largest fluorite mines in the world. The project is being planned in close compliance with World Bank and national guidelines for environmental and social protection. Development of the mine is anticipated to bring the following benefits: remediation of serious pre-existing environmental conditions (natural and anthropogenic heavy metal contamination and acid rock drainage); provision of employment and training, and thereby wealth, to local communities; significant tax and royalty payments to government, which will be reinvested as social spending; and development of municipal and industrial infrastructure to build sustainable post-mining communities. The role of governments at all levels is critical in guiding and facilitating this process. This paper was written prior to development of the mine, and relays the intentions of the developers. Future studies will be needed to evaluate the degree of attainment of sustainable development objectives, both during mine operation and after closure.
