AuMas secures second injunction to safeguard tailings facility
TAWAU: AuMas Resources Berhad has obtained a second court injunction to prevent further interference with critical safety works at its Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) in Tawau, following a disruption on May 17 allegedly led by Datuk Lo Fui Ming and Southsea Gold Sdn Bhd.

The High Court's order, granted on May 29, restrains the defendants from obstructing rectification works and grants AuMas’ subsidiary, Wullersdorf Resources, full access to carry out repairs.

The facility’s safety was compromised after unauthorised machinery blocked drains and redirected water flow.

Despite emergency repairs, AuMas claims the efforts were sabotaged in defiance of Mineral and Geoscience Department (JMG) directives.
