CNMC Goldmine to expand Kelantan plant capacity by 60% with new investment

The investment will increase the plant’s processing capacity to 800 tonnes of ore per day.

CNMC Goldmine will expand the capacity of its main gold production plant in Kelantan by 60% to boost output and profitability.

The company will spend up to $2.7m (RM9m) to increase the processing capacity of its carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant at its flagship Sokor mine to 800 tonnes of ore per day, up from the current 500 tonnes per day.

The expansion will be funded using internal resources and is expected to be completed by H1 2025.

Gold-bearing ores obtained from Sokor’s mining operations are sent to the CIL plant to be processed into gold doré bars, which are then sold to licensed buyers in Kelantan.

CNMC Goldmine is also building another underground mining facility at Sokor, which will enable the extraction of more higher-grade gold ores at greater depths for processing at the CIL plant. The project is expected to be completed by early 2025.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
