Cavico inks pact with IERC for stone excavation

Cavico Infrastructure Development, a majorityowned subsidiary of Vietnam-based Cavico Corp, has signed a joint venture agreement with the Investment and Exploitation of Natural Resources Joint Stock Company (IERC). The JV aims at tapping the investment opportunities in the construction stones from Hang Co Mine. Cavico Infrastructure will invest in, exploit, process and market the stones, while IERC will handle the administrative operations and obtain licensing approvals. As for revenue distribution, IERC will get $0.40 per cubic metre of stone exploited, processed and marketed, while the remaining will be pocketed by Cavico Infrastructure, which expects to generate revenue of $9.5 million through the deal.



The company has signed another agreement with IERC to exploit and market construction sand available in the Binh Thuan province in Vietnam. Cavico Infrastructure will extract sand from 7.63 hectares of land—over 152,600 cubic metres of construction sand reserves at a depth up to two metres. The company expects to extract around 50,000 cubic metres of sand annually, which will total up to 150,000 cubic metres by the end of the three-year contract, worth around $1.1 million.
