KUALA LUMPUR: Many foreign and local mining investors have expressed confidence and deep interest to further invest in Malaysia’s lucrative mineral sector such as gold, iron ore, coal and copper in the near future, an investment forum here was told.
Canada-based established gold producer Monument Mining Ltd, which has owned and operated the Selinsing Gold Mine project in Pahang since 2007, is one such company. Monument had also acquired the Mengapur project in Bukit Botak, Pahang – which holds deposits such as copper, sulphur, gold, silver, molybdenum and iron – last year.
