MINING IN SOUTH EAST ASIA THE RING OF FIRE Much of South East Asia is ringed by the Pacific Ring of Fire - so called because it is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have occurred and still occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. Overall, the geologic setting of South East Asia favours a very high potential for mineral deposits and new mineral explorations and extractions are continually being made. Sandwiched between China and India, South East Asia is also a region of tremendous growth and potential for investments, technology, energy and enterprise. The Philippines and Indonesia are two countries, particularly, rich in mineral resources but production has been restricted in recent times for various reasons. Malaysia, though having smaller mining acreages, remains productive and has a variety of minerals and non-ferrous materials available for extraction. Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam remain small producers of minerals. The highlights of what S outh East Asia can offer: INDONESIA The export ban in Indonesia has restricted the number of, and quantities of minerals allowed for export. Rules and regulations require a miner to have definite plans for smelting and processing before they are allowed to export subject to certain conditions. Only coal is currently not subject to export restrictions. Coal mines are available for sale or joint operation. PHILIPPINES A situation similar to Indonesia has recently developed in the Philippines. The long standing moratorium on the issue of Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) has just been lifted and Exploration Permits (EPs) can now be issued. EPs normally precede the issue of MPSA which, in effect, is the Mining Licence. A recent regulation requires miners to process their raw materials before they are allowed to export. This means investment in processing plants. This is the new reality of mining in the Philippines. Copper, lead, manganese, iron ore, iron sand, chromite, nickel, bauxite, molybdenum and other metalllic and non-metallic minerals are mined in the Philippines. MALAYSIA At present Malaysia is the best place to invest in mining because of the liberal policies, good investment climate and well developed infrastructure and transport systems. Mining concessions are usually not as big as those in the Philippines and Indonesia but it is possible to keep a land bank for continuous mining for a period of many years. The common minerals mined are iron ore, manganese, tin and gold and a variety of lesser minerals such as lead. Granite, quarry rocks and sand is abundant. River sand sea sand, silica sand, limestone, kaolin are also mined and exported.

LATEST
THE PHILIPPINES The Philippines government's recent ban on open pit mining has now been removed, paving the way for the 26 mining companies affected to continue to operate. The contentious issues that led to the ban were environmental concerns arising from a mix of poor self-regulation by miners, mining in watershed areas and lapses in enforcement of the regulations under the Mining Act. Various measures are being proposed and Congress and the mining industry are actively seeking solutions to current problems. Overall, it is essentially a case of grappling with issues of environmental damage and the unsatisfactory returns from mining to the government's coffers. INDONESIA There were recent murmurings in Indonesia that the 2014 ban on mineral exports might be lifted. Loss of employment and reduced earnings from the mining sector have weighed heavily on the country's economy. As it turned out there was no lifting of the ban but some refinement and clearer explanation of the regulations. Miners must still put in place a plan for processing or refining minerals and exports are allowed for a period of time until the plan could be implemented fully and the processing and refining actually taking place.
