YANGON, July 26 (Reuters): Myanmar Metals has announced that it plans to sell its 51% stake in Bawdwin silver, lead, and zinc project in Myanmar, citing difficulties in securing financing for the US$300 million project after a coup led to social unrest earlier this year.
Businesses have collapsed in the South-East Asian country ever since the military coup, which prompted widespread protests and strikes. The violence displaced thousands and killed hundreds of civilians.
