Abstract
"The report is divided into four chapters and five appendices. The first chapter deals with the history, and current (post-1994) state of mining and mineral-related legislation in Burma. The second and third chapters examine in some detail the operations of specific companies, including the large number of exploration projects which may, or may not become working mines. The fourth chapter examines the "Friedland empire," a brace of enterprises which includes the Monywa copper mine. This mine is not only the biggest of its kind in Burma, but is also mine promoter Robert Friedland's most important single investment. Appendix I briefly summarizes the impacts of copper mining and, in particular, the processing method used at Monywa. Appendix II looks at the consequences to social conditions of mineral development. Appendix III examines the heroin epidemic and the spread of AIDS/HIV in mining towns. Appendix IV is an interview with a former mining engineer. Appendix V summarises additional observations gleaned from discussions with Burmese miners."
