nly for the use of natural resources but for a considerable part of environment monitoring and protection. Therefore long term good governance and proper management of the whole sector prerequisites good geo-information system. In general the lack of a pro
per information management system hinders: Modern communication between governmental institutions and potential user agencies, Access to information supplied by mining operators and mining institutions, Effective promotion of the mineral sector in Myanmar,
