The chief deposits appear to be at Bukit Besi in Trengganu and near Ulu Rompin in southeastern Pahang. "The [Ulu Rompin] iron-ore bodies are a series of lenses and pockets with more or less N-S elongation, paralleled with the regional strike and shearing. They have generally been more resistant than the country rock and so occur on the crests of roughly parallel ridges."[11] ---------------- 11.
