Letpadaung Copper Mine
The Letpadaung Copper Mine ((ビルマ語:လက်ပံတောင်းတောင် ကြေးနီသတ္တုတွင်း)) is a large surface mine in the Salingyi Township of Sagaing Region of Myanmar. Since Myanmar began liberalizing in 2011 the mine has been the site of contentious protest and come to symbolize the shortcomings of political reform. Villagers displaced by the Chinese-operated mine contend that they have not received fair compensation while the company claims that it has been social responsible throughout the process.
==Background==
Letpadaung is a large mine project operated by the Wanbao Mining Copper Ltd. company, in cooperation with the Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd (UMEHL)〔2014b. “Woman Fatally Shot at Myanmar Mine Protest.” The New York Times.http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2014/12/22/world/asia/ap-as-myanmar-mine-protest.html (March 5, 2015).〕 Wanbao, a subsidiary of China North Industries Group Corp. or Norinco, a large arms manufacturer, bought the project from Ivanhoe, a Canadian mining company in 2011.〔“China’s Influence in Myanmar Facing Growing Scrutiny.” The Diplomat.http://thediplomat.com/2015/01/chinas-influence-in-myanmar-facing-growing-scrutiny/ (March 5, 2015).〕 Ivanhoe had won the initial project from the Myanmar government pursuant to a series of agreements and feasibility studies from 1994 to 1996. The joint venture agreement was signed on April 10, 1996.〔“The Letpadaung Project Executive Summary,” Ivanhoe Mines LTD. and Myanmar Ivanhoe Copper Company LTD. http://www.ivanhoe-mines.com/i/pdf/letpadaung-info.pdf June 1999〕 Ivanhoe divested its share of the project in 2011, citing the impact of the negative stigma of working with the military government on its other business throughout the world. The final agreement with Wanbao, reached after protests in 2012, gave it a 30% share of the eventual profits, 19% going to UMEHL, a massive military-owned company and 51% to Myanmar’s government. A later agreement gave 2% of profits to local development. The project is reported to have cost approximately $1 billion to develop.〔
