Mamut Copper Mine


A former Cu-Au-Ag mine, located in eastern Malaysia on the southeastern slope of Gunung, 60 km due east of Kota Kinabalu. Active 1975-1999. Porphyry type Cu-Au deposit genetically related to a quartz monzonite (adamellite) porphyry stock.

Apparently was the only copper mine in Malaysia.

The fomer mine is located on the south east slope of Mount Kinabalu.
