IRON ORE - BKT.BESI


Bukit Besi Police Station

It's been quite sometime since I've been to Bukit Besi in Terengganu, I think the last time was in 2010.

And now after so long, I got shock to see mining on Bukit Besi has improved. There were rumors that about 3 companies are mining around the hill. 
When I arrived there around 11.00am, I was entertained by an agent from one of the mining companies. He explained the new pricing and payment terms to me.

After the meeting and since it was a Friday and a public holiday there. we couldn't wander around the mining sites. We seen a few places there, and also saw a mining site working.

I was mistify by the changes around Bukit Besi, Terengganu. It was not like the old days when the hill was full of trees and historical foundations.
