Index Mogok Gemstone Area -The Mogok gemstone tract is bounded by 905272 acre(3663.59 sq km) and present gem extracted area is about 2107 acre (247.1 acre= 1 sq km), has already extracted about 2,066,104 Kg (1 Kg=5000 carat) of total gemstone since 28-2-1996 by 150 Nos of local companies. -Mong shu gemstone aera is bounded by 420947 acre (1703.55 sq km) and present gems extracted area is about 253 acre , has already extracted about 90,867 kg of total gemstone since 5-3-1996 by 39 Nos of local companies. - (All of these data are from MGE.) -After the Myanmar Gemstone Law was being enacted in 1995 , the State-owned gemstone production blocks were transferred to Union of Myanmar Economic Holding Limited and permitted to the local and private companies. -In 2007 , gemstone production and profit sharing were allowed to local and private companies as joint venture with Myanmar Gems Enterprise. -Moreover 453 amounts of gemstone blocks were allowed license issue as small scale production in 2011. -At present ,there is no government sector of gemstone production blocks and all of them are private sectors in our country.
