Explanation
The Pegu Yoma (also known as Bago Yoma) is a range of low mountains and hills located in central Myanmar, situated between the Irrawaddy and Sittaung rivers. Geologically, this region is part of the Central Cenozoic Belt, which is the most significant area for onshore hydrocarbon reserves in the country.
- Mineral Oil: The Pegu Yoma region and the adjacent Irrawaddy valley are famous for petroleum (mineral oil) and natural gas. Major oil fields like Yenangyaung are located in this central belt.
- Tin: Primarily found in the Tanintharyi (Tenasserim) region in the south.
- Silver: Mainly found in the Shan Plateau, particularly at the Bawdwin mines.
- Copper: Significant deposits are located in the Monywa region.
Apart from mineral oil, the Pegu Yoma is also globally renowned for its high-quality teak forests.
