Locality Description
Myanmar has internationally significant monumental geosites suitable for the establishment of geoparks, such as Mt Popa Volcano near the cultural city of Pagan, which has a geological as well as a national/historical heritage, and the Hukuang Valley in Kachin State. The CVAB is characterized at Mt Popa by calc-alkaline to alkaline volcanic rocks (e.g. Stephenson & Marshall 1984; Maury et al. 2004). Manganese also occurs as epigenetic deposits in andesitic volcanics at Kyaukpadaung, Mt Popa area.
