KANGAR, Dec 12 (Bernama) -- The Perlis government, through its Economic Planning Division, is drafting the State Mineral Policy, which will serve as the foundation for the consideration and implementation of mining activities in the state, said Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli.

"The state government has carefully reviewed this matter and is working to improve the existing policy so that it can benefit from the returns of dolomite mineral resources," he said when winding up the debate on the state's 2025 Budget during the State Legislative Assembly sitting at the DUN Complex here today.

Mohd Shukri said the state government is aware of the potential of dolomite through face-to-face market studies conducted by the Land and Mines Office with clients, potential clients, and stakeholders.

He said the studies have produced clear and comprehensive guidelines for existing and upcoming dolomite concession holders.
