I don't think the Dwarves would give their greatest treasure to the people they were exiting, the evil Dwarves. If you cast them as an evil clan, how did they get the mithril in the first place if they were in the far East, where there is no mithril?

And even if evil Dwarf exiles/ clans had mithril, Sauron would immediately demand it in tribute, such was his desire for it.
