The better results were contributed by both the agriculture and mining segments.
Under the agriculture segment, the group recorded a revenue and gross profit of RM11.93mil and RM2.19mil respectively, which is a substantial increase of 196.1% and of 103.53% from the previous corresponding period.

The sales revenue of RM11.497 million represents approximately 69.34 kgs of net gold sold during the quarter under review while 17.26 kgs of net gold was kept under inventories.
“The group started extracting gold from top soil clearing in previous quarter ended Sep 30, 2018 and has yet to start drilling and mining of the sulphide and oxide rocks/ore at the identified mining site in current quarter.
This explains the low production currently as the sulphide and oxide rocks are expected to have much higher gold content,” it said.
Meanwhile for the nine month period, the company continues to be in the red although its losses are narrowing. Its net profit shrunk to RM3.07mil from losses of RM49.63mil in the same period of the previous year. Revenue also increased to RM33.23mil from RM21.46mil.
