IRON ORE - RANTAU PANJANG


Well, what can I say my first trip to the iron ore mines. My trip was to a site in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan.
I brought along my clients from China, which was hoping to JV and start a mining site here in Malaysia.
The site I was going was in the rubber plantation passing thru Kampongs and plantations. It would be a hassle if mining site was to build here.


The terrain was bad, and with the monsoon weather, might be hard to do mining on hill slopes.
The contains of this mine are Magnetite Iron Ore FE 55%-58%. And best thing thing is this site has very low Sulfurous contents..not like Bukit Besi which is very high.
