Description
Mogok area is situated about 200 km north of Mandalay and 148 km northeast of Shwebo. The study area is bounded by N latitude 23˚15'-22˚52' and 96˚10'-96˚45' E longitude. Mogok can be easily accessed by car in 5-6 hours drive from Mandalay, depending on the weather conditions. Geologically, the Mogok gems mining area is situated within the Mogok Metamorphic Belt (MMB). The MMB is a mid-Cenozoic orogenic belt that has suffered significant erosion due to weathering. It is comprised of steeply dipping, deformed, medium to high grade metamorphic rocks consisting mainly of mica schists, marbles, calc-silicate rocks, gneiss and a smaller amount of quartzites.
