Minister says about 100 mining companies licensed [If there are too many mining companies like this, why the government only collected $13 million in mining revenue in 4 years?]

[But only collected $13 million in revenue from 2008 to 2012].Speaking to reporters, he also said that only about one percent of mining projects in Cambodia were successful.

The money is in Hun Sen's, Sok An's and Suy Sem's pockets. It's called Luy Teuk Te or "tea money", a euphemism for "bribery" or under the table money.
