11. Write an account on Pin minging in Malaya,

Tin is the most important mineral mined in Malaya. The tin ore cassiterite) is derived œinly from the tin-bearing lodes and veins in the s granite and adjacent rocks which form the Main and j Bitang hanges. Since these mountain ranges ware folded, they have been aroded and the tin ore of th lodes and veins is carried down by rivers and streams which flow westwards to the flat land along the foothills, Such tin ore is called alluvial tin because it has been laid down in the alluvium,

The tin mining area in Malaya stretches from Kedaḥ southwards along the foothill of Perak, Selangor and Johore. The Kinta Valley in the state of Perak is the chief producing area, being responsible for more than half of the total "production. The State of Selangor is the second-

important area with Kuala Lumpur as the centre and produces one-third of the total. These two regions therefore produce more than 90% of Malaya's tin while the annual production is estimated to be. 60,000 tons. Alluvial tin is also obtained from the Kelantan Valley of the eastern lowlands,

The tin ore is mined in several ways:

1. Dredging: The alluvial deposit is scooped out by an endless chain of buckets let down from a 5000 Con floating ship (s dredge). The tin ore is separated from the water which has been brought up in the buckets and the waste alluvium is thrown out through a pipe.

Gravel pumping: In a small mine, water is pumped in. Then the loose material which is alluvium and tin ore is carried by the water is a small stream towards a pump where the water is sucked and the tin ore collected in a wooden structure.

Dulang washing: This is usually done by women. The gravel, containing tin ore, is mixed with water in a pan, It is shaken to remove the dirt and waste materials.

Underground. mining: This is uncommon since tin mostly occurs as alluvial deposits. fydraulic mining: Jet water under high pressure is forced out from pipes to strike age inst the mountain slopes to break up the gravel, The water carries the broken particles down to a large boxc for separation..

Arter mining, the tin ore is washed and treated. Then it is called tin concentrates and is put into small bags. These bags of concentrates, are then sent to the smelting plants at Butterworth, Penang or Singapore. After smelting, the tin concentrates are to be refined and then they become almost pure tin (more than 99%) and are then made into tin bricks, called ingots, each weighing about 100 lb. These ingots are exported to other parts of the world, particularly to England and the United States.

The Port of Penang

Penang (or Georgetown) is situated on the island of Penang, about three miles from the Western coast of alaya, at the northern and of the strait of ralacea. The port is linked to the mainland by ferry services..

It is the second largest town and the chief port. of Palaya, handling over one-third of the trade of "alaya. The stretch of water between the port and the mainland 19 deep, and is to some extent sheltered from the currents and strong winds by the island itself. Thus. permits large ships to anchor, though they.

camot anchor close to the island because water is too shallow there, it is the first port-of- call for ocean-liners from Europe and India and hence the last port-of-call for boats going in- the opposite direction. In addition, renang has a large and rich hinterland which includes north-west and central Malaya, Not only rubber and tin from Malaya, but also the tin ore from Burma and Thailand are also exported through here. It is also an entrepot for it. distributes and collects goods to and from Burma, Thailand and also worth Suratra.

Penang has many small industries such as rubber milling, coconut oil extraction, tin. ore smelting and the building and repair of boats. Being a free port, it attracts trade from many oversea countries. Lastly, it is also a holiday resort,

The area is a Lowland area, and is surrounded by highlands except the western side. Cultivation is possible here and rubuer is widely grown. Lying in the tin and rubber belt, the city develops as a centre for the tin and rubber industries. Uther small but important industries are also found, such as the manufacture of batteries, paints, cables, matches, condensed milk, tooth-paste and asbestos: cement shaets.

The position of Kuala Lumpur makes it a communication centre. Its position at the confluence of the two rivers provides a convenient meeting place of natural routes supplied by a number of tributaries disting like a fan above the confluence upstream. Ite central position in Halaya makes all the highways and railways converge at the city. Moreover, its international airport likes Malaya with most countries all over the world.

With all these advantages, Kuala Lumpur therefore is an administrative. industrial and commercial centre of Malaya.
