Tin-tungsten 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 Division, Kayin, Mon, Kayah
& Shan states and east of Pyinmana.
-Tin-tungsten ores occur in close association with granitoids
and related pneumatolytic rocks emplaced during Jurassic,
Cretaceous and possibly Triassic. The country rocks of these
intrusive masses consist of the clastic Mergui Series,
Taungnyo Group, Mawchi Series and Lebyin Group.
-Most of the cassiterite is mined from placers while tungsten
is mined from hard rock veins.

Ni-Cr mineralization occurs in
close association with ultramafic
igneous rocks emplaced during
LateCretaceous-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 occurrences in
Myanmar being related to N-S
trending ophiolite lines.

Antimony depositsAntimony deposits
-More than 140 occurrences of
stibnite and other sb-bearing
minerals are known in Myanmar.
-The majority of antimony
mineralization occurs in the late
Paleozoic carbonates (Triassic to
Permian in age) & also in the late
Pleozoic clastic sediments of the
Mergui series.
-generally found in veins or
lenses, or both.
-So far, the best known antimony
deposit s are at Thabyu, Kayin
State, near Thai Border. The ore
is reported to be of high grade.

MINERAL POLICYMINERAL POLICY
To boost up present production
To invite participation in terms of technical know-how and investment from
sources within the country and abroad
to fulfill the domestic requirements and to increase export by producing more
mineral products;
Conclusion
Myanmar - within the complex tectonic zone of active obloique convergent
between Asian and Indian plates exhibits the great diversity of geology,
Physiography, structural deformation and as well as episodic mineralization events
and various mineral commodities.
The mineral resources include Sn-W, base metals to precious to rare metals,
industrial raw minerals, jade & gemstones, and as well as coal , oil &gas. But most
of them are needed to be explored and proved systematically.
We hope there’ll be more cooperation
between Myanmar and Your Country in
the near future.
