Mining Of Other Non-ferrous Metal Ores Companies in Malaysia

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit. These deposits form a mineralized package that is of economic interest to the miner.

Ores recovered by mining include metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, chalk, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. Mining is required to obtain any material that cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or created artificially in a laboratory or factory.

Mining in Malaysia is not a big industry. There are many small mines throughout the country. The major mines are in Sarawak and Sabah. The main minerals mined in Malaysia are coal, bauxite, gold, ilmenite, iron ore, tin, rare earths, and kaolin.

The mining sector in Malaysia is regulated by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water, which is responsible for the formulation and implementation of policies and regulations relating to the sector. The Mineral Development Act 1994 is the main legislation governing the mining sector in Malaysia.
