KOTA KINABALU: A subsidiary of Alumas Resource Berhad has been identified as currently conducting illegal gold mineral mining operations in Bukit Mantri, Balung Tawau.
According to sources, the company under the control of Wullersdorf Resources Sdn Bhd is illegal as the company’s Mining Operation Scheme (SKSPM) Approval Letter has expired since a few days ago.
“As announced by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Aumas Resources Berhad on Bursa Malaysia on 24/02/2025 that the company is operating legally because the SKSPM is valid until 09/04/2025.
“So far, there has been no permission to extend operations given by the Department of Minerals and Geosciences Malaysia for the company,” he told Sabah News Today.
According to him, one of the investors, who only wanted to be known as Mr Tan, the CEO of Aumas Resources Berhad should make an announcement about the company’s SKSPM status.
“They should not remain silent because the impact will be on investors.
“The Security Commission should also look at this matter seriously and suspend the Aumas counter if there are allegations,” he explained.
According to him, this activity is seen as an attempt to conspire with offenders on the Stock Exchange, causing a loss of investor confidence.
“I will report this matter directly to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during the Hari Raya celebration in Tawau in the near future.
“This company has been identified as having failed to prove the right to use the EIA approval which actually belongs to Southsea Gold Sdn Bhd,” he said.
During the same period, Alumas Resource Berhad Chief Executive Officer Chong Tzu Khen misled investors by giving inaccurate statements.
“To date, no action has been taken by the Security Commission despite the many offences committed by Alumas Resource Berhad,” he said.
In a similar development, Sabah News Today was informed that the concession owner will file a civil suit and seek a court order to stop Wullersdorf Resources’ mining operations.
This is due to breaching the terms of the lease agreement and operating illegally without approval from the Department of Environment.
