The joint venture mine sites are located on the south side of the Mandalay-Mogok road, along the banks of the Yebu creek, by the Mintada bridge.
At the mining site rubies and blue sapphires of low-medium quality are recovered from the alluvial deposits, using mechanized open-pit and myaw-dwin mining methods. Some of these gems are of high quality, but their weigh seldom exceeds 2-3 carats. Star ruby of medium quality, spinel, moonstone and quartz are frequently found. In 2001 the mines were closed. - Ted Themelis (2008) Gems and Mines of Mogok
