Bauxite
Production of bauxite in 2007 increased substantially by 71 per cent from 91,806 tonnes in 2006 to 156,785 tonnes due to strong demand and high prices.  The production came from one mine located in Sungei Rengit, Pengerang, Johore, and exported mainly to Thailand, Japan and Taiwan.  The remaining ore reserve of the bauxite mine is small.  There are potential resources of bauxite in other parts of Malaysia, such as in the states of Sarawak and Sabah.  The approval to build an aluminium smelting plant in Sarawak is reported to be still under consideration of the Federal Government during the year under review.
