Abstract

• Myanmar, the second largest country in Southeast Asia, occupies geologically and tectonically a key position. A railway line connecting from Muse and Mandalay has been proposed to construct and the paper is written about all known deposits and occurrences typically exposed along and around the proposed Muse-Mandalay railway line. There would be lead-zinc-silver, antimony, gold that could be expected in it. Coal and phosphorous deposits might also be found as well. As mineral deposits are trending approximately N-S direction, those could be probably found during construction of the line crossing that trend. It should be needed to officially inform local and central government if some deposits occur during construction. Legal enforcement should act to give penalty for those people who carry away it from the line or make mineral dressing in situ.
