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.

- 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 Mandalay region Sabe Taung and Shan State as the

Hydrothermal sources.

Conclusion

- More than 300 occurrences of Pb-Zn-Silver mineralization are recorded in Myanmar.

Mineralization occurs as five different styles:

- Volcanogenic massive sulphides type (VMS) at Bawdwin. The mineralization is bound to an

approximately 4 km long and about 100 m wide NW-SE oriented Bawdwin Fault Zone.

Mohochaung lead ore deposit approximately 30 km north of Namtu is a stockwork mineralization

of galena in calcite gangue.

- Massissippi valley type (MVT) deposit at Bawsaing mine Occur in the Ordovician Limestone, the

sulphidic ores are found in numerous small occurrences in a narrow NNW-SSE striking zone

approximately 6 km long.

- Cavity filling vein-type in Yadanatheingi mine. Shear zone about 10 m thick which cuts across the

sediments of the Chaung Magyi Series in NW-SE direction.

- Ore is found in vein fissures and stockworks in veins and skarn type near the contact between

granitic rock and marble at Phaungdaw mine.

- Zinc carbonate deposit (secondary deposit) at Lonchein mine of SSS and Naungmain of NSS.

Conclusion

- More than 400 Tin – Tungsten occurrences are recorded in Myanmar both in

Primary and placer deposits.

- One of the most important mineral resources in Myanmar

- Occurs along the granitic belt in SE Asia peninsula (distributed over more

than 1200 Km in Myanmar with more prominent in Tungsten toward the

north, passing through the Tanintharyi Region, Kayin, Mon, Kayah & Shan

states and East of Pyinmana and widespread also at Mong Hsat and Mongton

of East Shan State.

- Tin-tungsten ores occur in close association with granitoids and related

pneumatolytic rocks emplaced during Mesozoic. The country rocks of these

intrusive masses consist of the clastic meta sedimentary rocks of Mergui

Series, Taungnyo Group, Mawchi Series and Lebyin Group of Carboniferous

age.

- Most of the cassiterite is mined from placers while tungsten is mined from

hard rock veins.

Conclusion

- Ni-Cr mineralization occurs in close association with ultramafic igneous rocks

( Ophiolite belt) emplaced during Late Cretaceous-Early Eocene.

- At Mwetaung & Tagaung Taung, the deposits have formed as a result of

tropical weathering of ultramafic rocks (Ni laterite deposits)

- Cromite deposits are of widespread in Myanmar being related to N-S trending

Ophiolite lines closed to Nickel deposits. They are found as podiform

Chromite and residual deposits dispersering near the primary sources.

- Over 10 Nickel and 40 Chromite occurrences are recorded and widespread

most part of the Tagaung Myitkyina belt and the Western Ranges.

* More than 100 occurrences of Antimony

mineralization are recorded in Myanmar.

- *The majority of antimony mineralization

occurs in clastic sediments of the Mergui

Group of Carboniferous age and in

the Paleozoic Carbonates of Ordovician ,

Silurian and Permian age.

- *Several Sb occurrences are in the late

Paleozoic rocks.

- *Antimony ores are generally found in

veins or lenses, pockets or both as

epithermal origin.

- *The best known antimony deposit s is at

Thabyu, Kayin State, near Thai Border.

The ore is in high grade.

Conclusion

- Over 300 Iron ore occurrences have been recorded in Myanmar and most of

them are of minor importance.

- The iron ore deposits of Northern Shan State are residual type. At

Kyatwinye, 22 meters thick limonite/hematite roll ores covering Devonian

dolomite and sandstone. The reserves is about 3.0 mt with the grade of 54%

Fe.

- At Pang Pet, near Taunggyi , the iron ore deposit is represented by primary

hematite mineralization bounded in two regional fault system in the Plateau

limestone seem skarn type?

- Iron ore deposit at Kathaing Taung, Lamaung of Phakhant and Taungnyo

and Taungkadon of Shwegu area in Kachin state are related to the ultrabasic

rocks.

Conclusion

- Over 50 Manganese occurrences have been recorded in Myanmar at the Tachileik

and Mong Pyat area of Eastern Shan State, near Kyaukpadaung of Central

Myanmar, Hopone area, Southern Shan State and the Southern Tanintharyi

archipelago of Powel Island.

- The Manganese ore deposits of Eastern Shan State, Central Myanmar and Powel

Island are associated with volcanogenic sediments and volcanic rocks while non

volcanogenic at Southern Shan State associated with Limestone.

- The Manganese deposits at the Eastern Shan State were recently found and seem a

huge potential.

- Myanmar is well known for famous Jadeite –

Jade and Gemstones.

- The world largest Jadeite deposit is found in

Phakhant and Lonkhin area of Kachin State,

North of Myanmar both in Primary Jadeite

Dykes associated with Ultrabasic and Uru

boulder conglomerate of Pleistone age as

placer deposits.

- One of the most important mineral resources

in Myanmar

- The world finess and famous Ruby, Sapphire

and other assorted Gemstones are produced

from Mogok, Kyatpyin of Mandalay Region,

Monghsu of Shan State.

China geological Survey invited DGSE in 2006 to participate in the 1:5M

International Geological map of Asia (IGMA 5000) based on the combination

of geology ,GIS and cartography. ( ONE GEOLOGY ONE COUNTRY)

Two participants attended the 2nd and 3rd workshop held in China and

presented the "STRATIGRAPHY AND TECTONO- MAGMATISUM OF

MYANMAR’’ AND “THE CORRELATION OF MYANMAR

STRATIGRAPHY AND CHINA STRATIGRAPHY AT THE BORDER

AREA”

DGSE contributed 1:5M scale of Geological map in GIS format to

IGMA 5000 project in 2010.

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

industry.

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.!!!!!
