Demand seen for limestone


The group expected great demand for aggregates and other construction materials with the ongoing construction of the Pan Borneo Highway project. Phase one of the project involves construction and upgrading of 706km of road estimated to cost RM12.8bil.

KUCHING: Borneo Oil Bhd is banking on the Sabah portion of the Pan Borneo Highway project and the soon-to-be commissioned cement plant, the first in Sabah, to bolster the sales of limestone.

The company has recorded a sharp drop in the sales of limestone, which stood at 100,986 tonnes in first quarter ended Sept 30, 2018 from 435,000 tonnes in the preceding quarter.
