KOTA KINABALU: AuMAS Resources Berhad has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Wullersdorf Resources Sdn. Bhd. (WRSB), has secured a renewal of its Operational Mining Scheme (OMS) licence from the Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia in Sabah.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company stated that the renewal allows WRSB to continue operations at the Bukit Mantri gold mine, where it serves as the project operator.
The Board of Directors of AuMAS affirmed that the approval of the OMS licence reflects the project’s compliance with all required regulatory conditions, including resource conservation, landscape management, effluent control, security measures, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as well as engagement with residents of nearby villages.
Notably, the renewed licence is valid until 9 April 2027. This represents a one-year extension compared to previous renewals, which were granted for six-month durations—a clear indication that the company is gaining greater confidence from government regulatory bodies.
The latest announcement follows a series of earlier disclosures made on 24 February 2025, 30 April 2025, 6 May 2025, and 13 October 2025 regarding the status and regulatory progress of the mining project.
The company reiterated its commitment to maintaining regulatory compliance and high operational standards in its circular economy‑based sustainable mining activities.
