The Mengapur (CASB) mine consists of open pit mine and Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant.
The Mengapur (CASB) mine commenced production in July 2022.
Looking to build new integrated processing plant which will enhance production capability at the CASB mine and enable Fortress Minerals Ltd. to produce high grade iron ore, copper and pyrrhotite concentrate. |

The Mengapur Project is located in the Malaysian state of Pahang and 100% owned by Monument Mengapur Sdn Bhd (MMSB) in Malaysia, which in turn holds tenements through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cermat Aman Sdn Bhd (CASB) and Star Destiny Sdn Bhd (SDSB).
Mengapur (CASB) Mine was acquired by Fortress Minerals Ltd. in April 2021 through the Fortress Minerals Ltd.’s acquisition of Monument Mengapur Sdn. Bhd., the holding company of Cermat Aman Sdn. Bhd. ("CASB”) and Star Destiny Sdn. Bhd. Following the acquisition, the name ‘Monument Mengapur Sdn. Bhd.’ was changed to ‘Fortress Mengapur Sdn. Bhd.’.

Summary:
Mengapur geology is dominated by sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by at least one dyke complex. The dyke icomplex outcrops in the centre of the deposit and forms a steep resistant ridge that is referred to as Bukit Botak. The sedimentary rocks adjacent to the Bukit Botak intrusion complex and other nearby buried intrusions are altered to skarn.
The Mengapur limestones are typically massive and locally fossiliferous and/or interbedded and can be separated into two distinct facies: a calcareous facies and an argillaceous facies. The younger calcareous facies consists of dark grey carbonaceous limestone locally interbedded with calcareous shale. The argillaceous facies consists of calcareous shale, graphitic slate, quartz-sericite phyllite, schist, quartzite, and minor interbeds of andesitic, dacitic, and rhyolitic tuff. The sedimentary rocks generally strike north-northeast and dip steeply (45° to 85°) to the east-southeast.
The dyke complex is dominated by adamellite (quartz monzonite) with lesser amounts of rhyolite, rhyolitic tuff and rhyolite breccia and is approximately 800 m in diameter in surface exposures and has been encountered in historical drilling up to 600 m below the surface. The intrusion complex contains moderately to locally very steep contacts with the adjacent sedimentary rocks and reaches up to 900 m in width at depth. The intrusive rocks appear to intrude sub-parallel along the original sedimentary rock bedding as they gener ........
Summary:
It is assumed the deposit will be mined using conventional open cut mining methods.
