 The Ministry of Mines is the government authority responsible for implementation of the policy, legislation and enforcement of law, Rules and Regulations in the Mining Sector. 4 Introduction Organization Morpho-Tectonic Geology Mineral Occurrence Investment Cooperation Conclusion Belts of Setting of & Mining Activities Opportunities with Myanmar Myanmar in Myanmar International

 The policy of the Ministry of Mines is not to make new investment on its own, but to encourage foreign and local investors to invest in the mining Sector.

 At present, the Ministry of Mines has licensed to the existing mines and large deposits to the local & foreign investors for production.

 Foreign Companies or Investors should have to start from the grass-root exploration at the interest potential areas if they desire.

Copper Deposits - More than 100 occurrences copper mineralization are recorded in Myanmar but most of them are of minor important.

- The copper mineralization within the central volcanic arc started from Mt. Popa and passes through lower Chindwin area where the volcanics are hosted to the porphyry copper deposits at the Sabe Taung, Kyesin Taung, & Lepadaung Taung, Monywa and continued to the Kawlin area of the Northern part of Myanmar.

- Copper is also found at Sabe Taung and as the Hydrothermal sources.

 Myanmar is endowed with variety of minerals and completed long geological history of Precambrian to Tertiary age.  Extensive mineral occurrences and well established centuries old mining .  Mineral resources potential remains under-estimating and still collecting necessary geological information.  Traditional method is still used for geological mapping ,mineral exploration and mining in Myanmar , eastern parts of Myanmar are planned to do mineral exploration and rechecking for seamless geological map along the borders.  We do hope, this FORUM will be provided the sustainable development in mining sector between China and Myanmar.!!!!!

49 Introduction Organization Morpho-Tectonic Geology Mineral Occurrence Investment Cooperation Conclusion Belts of Setting of & Mining Activities Opportunities with Myanmar Myanmar in Myanmar International

 Myanmar is striving to amend the Mines Law and Regulations ;  To meet with the International Standard of the World Leading Mining Countries .  To invite the Foreign Investor to the mining sector of Myanmar.  To overcome the challenges on the mining sector.  To develop of Myanmar’s Mining Sector, we need new advanced technique of Mineral Exploration and Mining application method.

 Also reforming the financial sector especially the banking system which urgently need to reform for the foreign Investors.
