Rigs and conveyors


Part of the rocky hillslope is dynamited to break the rocks containing iron ore.


Lorries then transport the boulders for grinding.

Rock grinding machineries.


Conveyors send the pulverised rocks into giant heaps.


Ore containing pulverised material is ferried by lorries and off-loaded into ships via a jetty at Sura Gate Harbour at Dungun by the South China Sea for export.
