缅甸是一个富含金、银、贱金属、锡钨、宝石和碳氢化合物的国家，是世界上仅存的勘探前沿之一。从构造上看，缅甸位于喜马拉雅山脉东端，过去50 Ma深受印度与欧亚大陆碰撞的影响，该碰撞仍在持续，破坏性地震频繁发生。通过地质年代学、地震活动性、地层学和结构的研究，在理解碰撞结果方面取得了最新进展。由于基础设施有限和武装叛乱，系统测绘计划的发展受到准入问题的限制，这意味着该国大部分地区尚未得到充分勘探。然而，最近的政治变革和改革，以及与各民族的和解，将允许进入克伦邦、克耶邦、掸邦和克钦邦的大片地区，从而能够对新的地壳块和地体进行进一步的研究和勘探。在这本回忆录中，一群缅甸和国际地质学家共同收录了目前已知的有关缅甸地质、矿产和能源资源及其构造发展的所有信息。
Myanmar is a country vastly rich in gold, silver, base metals, tin–tungsten, gems and hydrocarbons and is one of the last exploration frontiers remaining in the world. Tectonically Myanmar lies at the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountain Chain and over the last 50 Ma has been profoundly affected by the collision between India and Eurasia, which is still ongoing, with frequent destructive earthquakes. Recent advances have been made in understanding the results of the collision, through the study of geochronology, seismicity, stratigraphy and structure. The development of a systematic mapping programme has been restricted by problems of access, due to limited infrastructure and armed insurgencies, meaning that large areas of the country have not been explored adequately. Recent political changes and reforms, with reconciliations with various ethnic groups, however, will permit access to large areas in Kayin, Kayah, Shan and Kachin States, enabling further research and exploration in new crustal blocks and terranes. In this Memoir a group of Myanmar and international geologists have combined to include all that is currently known about the geology of Myanmar, its mineral and energy resources and its tectonic development.
