With the approval of the mining licence, the Group is expected to begin its sea sand mining operation in the 1st half of 2019.

Prior to receiving the sea sand mining licence, the Group had initiated a conscientious process in the preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) report. It had been conducted on an area of 20.57km² located at the coastline of state of Terengganu, Malaysia with the necessary quantitative and qualitative studies of sand resources, hydro-graphic measurement and hydraulic study of computerised models. The full EIA report was a regulatory requirement to ensure mining activities are carried out responsibly as to keep in balance with wildlife and ecosystem within the vicinity of the mining area.

The EIA approval by various authorities as shown in the timeline above signifies the Group’s commitment towards the socio-environment and stringent requirements by all regulatory bodies.
