Evaluation of the Environmental Performances of Myanmar Ivanhoe Copper Company Limited (MICCL) to Ensure Environmentally Responsible Mineral Project
Kyawswar Tint
Making real progress towards environmentally responsible mineral projects requires evaluation of the current environmental performances of mineral projects. All the mineral projects in Myanmar are undertaken by state-owned, joint venture and private mining companies. Among these mineral projects the "Sabetaung Kyinsintaung Mine, in short, S&K Mine", which is undertaken by "Myanmar Ivanhoe Copper Company Limited (MICCLY", is a very systematic mineral project that develops with the concepts of environmental responsibility in Myanmar. The main objective of this research paper is to promote environmentally responsible mineral projects that develop within the limit of minimizing adverse impacts and maximizing positive benefits to the natural environment and local communities in Myanmar and other ASEAN countries. This work on one hand determines the major environmental impacts due to "S&K Mine" in Myanmar and on other hand examines and evaluates the environmental performances of MICCL to minimize these environmental impacts. The evaluation results of the environmental performances of MICCL are presented and the other factors that should be considered to ensure environmental responsible mineral project for "S&K Mine" are proposed. The evaluation processes, the proposed considerable factors and the environment management structure of MICCL will help to promote environmentally responsible mineral projects not only for all mineral projects in Myanmar but afsn for other ASEAN countries.
