KOTA KINABALU: The silica sand mining project in Pulau Balambangan, Kudat, will have minimal impact on the environment, the state government assured on Tuesday (Nov 19).
Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the project has the potential to become a new source of state revenue, as Sabah reduces its income dependency from the oil and gas and tourism sectors.
