Southeast Asia is receiving growing attention from the international mining industry, particularly from Australian and Canadian juniors, as the geological potential of the region is increasingly recognized. Historically, regional mineral development has suffered from limitations on capital and technical expertise, outdated minerals legislation and, in some countries, political and civil strife. Political and economic developments over the past decade or so have made the region increasingly attractive as an exploration and development target.

In recent years, a number of precious and base metals mines have been commissioned in Laos and Thailand. International companies are pursuing a variety of exploration projects in the region and there are excellent opportunities for entrepreneurial companies, such as Amanta, to assume leading roles in the development of a strong regional mining industry.

Amanta’s senior management and technical personnel have lived and worked in the region for many years. Their combined experience has enabled them to establish valuable contacts and ties with government officials, industry participants, financial instructions and local communities, creating unique advantages for Amanta and providing access to a wealth of information about development opportunities in the region.
