Nam Sèka Mine (Namsèka), Nampai Valley, Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Division, Burma (Myanmar)

Located 24 km (15 miles) SE of Mogok. The mines are scattered along the Nampai river which forms the border between Mogok Township in Mandalay Division and Kyaukme Township in Shan State, some 2.5 km N to NNW of Möng Long (Mainglôn).

There has been some confusion about the correct location of that mine either due to a reading error or a type error in the old literature where Namséka was first mentioned ("24 km SW of Mainglôn"). Dan McDougall's article (see link below) seems more credible.
