Abstract: Reform is under way in several nations within the Indochina area to stimulate economic growth and foreign investment. Though once forbidden, participation by foreign companies in mining exploration and development activities in Myanmar, Kampuchea, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam is now being solicited by the respective governments. This paper presents a preliminary evaluation of mineral and energy resources in the region and outlines possible development scenarios based on economic policies, financial and infrastructural constraints and industry interest. The investment climates for resource‐related projects are assessed qualitatively by country. Clearly, the long‐term development potential of mineral and energy resources in the Indochina area is large, and the potential gains outweigh any of today's problems.
