(zabar in Myanmar) Purchase depot: The phrase “purchase depot” is literally translated from Myanmar. It is also translated as “Brokerage House.” It is a kind of large dealing centre which buys agricultural produce—rice and pulses—and re- distribute within the country or export them. Rice: Grain whose husk has been removed by milling (hsan in Myanmar) U: “U” is an honorific used before the name of a Myanmar male adult. It is an equivalent of Mr. Daw: “Daw” is an honorific used before the name of a Myanmar female adult, single or married. It is an equivalent of Miss/Ms/Mrs. Seasons in Myanmar: Myanmar has three seasons: Hot season (summer) (3 months: Mar – May), rainy season (monsoon season) (5 months: Jun – Oct), and cool season (4 months: Nov – Feb). Fiscal year: “Fiscal year” in this report refers to the period from April of a year to March of the following year. ❖ Measuring systems System Sample product Units 8 tinfuls = 1 pyi Rice, some

A preliminary health survey was conducted in Thabeikkyin Township, Mandalay Region, Myanmar, in February 2020 to assess the health conditions of an ASGM community. Respiratory function and other clinical assessments were evaluated in miners and non-miners, and participants’ hair was analyzed for heavy metals. Respiratory function of miners was similar to that of non-miners. However, miners’ respiratory function declined with longer mining activity duration. In total, 3 out of 18 miners showed neurological signs and symptoms of chronic mercury intoxication. The median concentration of the hair mercury was significantly higher in miners than non-miners (P = 0.01), and 9 out of 18 miners and 2 out of 11 non-miners showed the warning level of mercury.

  • Title Precious and Base Metal Mineralization in Kwinthonze-Nweyon Area, Singu and Thabeikkyin Townships, Mandalay Region, Myanmar
    Title Precious and Base Metal Mineralization in Kwinthonze-Nweyon area, Singu and Thabeikkyin Townships, Mandalay Region, Myanmar All Authors Tin Aung Myint1*, Than Than Nu1 , Min Aung2 Publication Type International Publication Publisher (Journal name, PROCEEDINGS OF SUNDALAND RESOURCES 2014 MGEI ANNUAL issue no., page no CONVENTIONMasyarakat Geologi Ekonomi Indonesia (Indonesian Society of etc.) Economic Geologists) Gold-silver and associated base metal mineralization occurs in the Kwinthonze- Nweyon area within the Mogok Metamorphic Belt (MMB) in Myanmar. The area is mainly underlain by high-grade metamorphic units and intrusive rocks. Gold-sulphide bearing quartz veins are predominantly hosted in gneisses and marbles. Numerous faults striking N, NNE, ENE and E to ESE with moderate to steep dips occurred in the area. The veins are characterized by banded, colloform, cockcade, breccia and some vuggy textures. The vein-related alteration is characterized by silicification, sericitization and chloritization from the inner to the outer zones. Principal metallic minerals are pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite in addition to electrum. The mineralogy of the vein is recognized into three paragenetic stages. Stage 1 is pre-mineralization stage. Stage 2 is main mineralization stage and stage 3 is post-ore carbonate Abstract stage. Quartz with minor sulfide, mainly pyrite was deposited during stage 1. Precious and base metals were precipitated during stage 2. In this stage, adularia is common. Gold and silver are more enriched in the veins containing abundant adularia than virtually quartz rich veins. In stage 3, the veins are barren. Bullion fineness data of the whole area display a wide range of fineness (416-875).
