A Cambodian mining company, Rong Cheng Industrial Investment (Cambodia) Co., Ltd, has been ordered by the Ministry of Environment to remediate environmental damage at its Mondulkiri exploration site. The directive follows a June 10 inspection revealing issues with soil and wastewater management in the Mesam area of Keo Seima district. The company had already suspended operations at the time of the inspection. The Ministry is requiring the company to undertake restoration work as a condition of potential license renewal. Failure to address the identified environmental concerns could jeopardize the company’s ability to continue mining exploration in the region. The Ministry did not specify the extent of the damage or a timeline for remediation. This action signals increased scrutiny of environmental practices within Cambodia’s mining sector.
