Malaysia's Perak finds potential Gold sources

IPOH(BullionStreet): Malaysian
State of Perak claimed to have identified several potential gold sources but
refused to name it fearing any 'gold rush'.
According to a top official of the
government, authorities would first need to determine whether the gold
deposits had any commercial or considerable value.
He said Mineral and Geoscience
Department will conduct further research at the spots and determine if there
is any commercial value in them or if they only contain small amounts of
gold.
Based on the preliminary report by
a task force studying Perak's gold mining potential, the gold deposits could
be commercially mined, he added.
Perak was also looking into
refining the categorisation of minerals to facilitate the process of imposing
royalty taxes on mining activities.
Perak had already increased its
tax revenues from mining activities to about RM 30 mil this year through a
royalty tax increase to 5% as compared to last year's revenue of less than RM
1mil.
