AuMas secures second injunction to safeguard tailings facility
Published on: Friday, May 30, 2025 Published on: Fri, May 30, 2025 Text Size: TAWAU: AuMas Resources Berhad has obtained a second court injunction to prevent further interference with critical safety works at its Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) in Tawau, following a disruption on May 17 allegedly led by Datuk Lo Fui Ming and Southsea Gold Sdn Bhd. The High Court's order, granted on May 29, restrains the defendants from obstructing rectification works and grants AuMas' subsidiary, Wullersdorf Resources, full access to carry out repairs. The facility's safety was compromised after unauthorised machinery blocked drains and redirected water flow. Despite emergency repairs, AuMas claims the efforts were sabotaged in defiance of Mineral and Geoscience Department (JMG) directives. The company now moves forward with legally protected rectification under JMG and Environment Protection Department (EPD) oversight. AuMas reaffirmed its commitment to environmental compliance and operational integrity, vowing to pursue all legal avenues to protect its mining operations. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Sabah graft court discharges three in gold mine case
KOTA KINABALU: The Special Corruption Court here has discharged, but not acquitted, three family members facing charges linked to a gold mine operation in Bukit Mantiri, Tawau, on Thursday (Apr 24). The accused are former Wullersdorf Resources Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Lo Fui Ming, his son, Lo Teck Yong, a former director of the same company, and daughter, Lo Choon Fung, a director of Southsea Gold Sdn Bhd. Judge Jason Juga ordered all three to be released from their respective charges. In the same case, Fui Ming, 69, faces 24 charges under Section 418 of the Penal Code for allegedly committing fraud while knowing it could result in undue loss to an interested party. His son, Teck Yong, 43, has been charged with 24 counts under Section 109 of the Penal Code for abetting the offence. They were accused of deceiving the Sabah state government, particularly the Lands and Surveys Department, by omitting the actual quantity of gold bars in invoices and production reports. The gold was allegedly sold illegally to another company, resulting in losses exceeding RM1.3mil to the state. If convicted, they could face imprisonment of up to seven years, a fine, or both. Meanwhile, Fui Ming and Choon Fung also face four charges for using false documents as genuine. According to the charge sheet, the two are accused of jointly using four forged letters under the name of Southsea Gold Sdn Bhd titled 'Unauthorised Occupation of Southsea Gold Lease Land for Mining Operations' dated March 3, 2020, December 10, 2020, October 13, 2021, and January 3, 2022.
