Kelantan authorities have designated Tanah Merah and Jeli districts as viable zones for traditional gold panning operations, with Deputy Chief Minister Mohamed Fadzli Hassan directing officials to establish regulatory frameworks covering permits, safety protocols, and legal requirements. The state administration plans to legitimize existing informal mining activities by creating supervised extraction areas outside prohibited locations where sediment prospectors face minimal hazards.
Mohamed Fadzli announced that licensing parameters remain under development as government officers finalize operational guidelines for the pan-based extraction method. The deputy leader confirmed that conditional permits will enable residents to legally recover gold deposits from river sediment following completion of the authorization process, which state officials will announce after finalizing administrative procedures.
