PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA said on Monday that Australian firm OZ Minerals had discovered around 8.1 million tonnes of gold on its territory, ahead of a conference intended to draw in mining investment.
Some 60 local and foreign firms including companies from Australia, China, South Korea and Vietnam have been conducting mineral research and exploration across Cambodia, an official said ahead of the international mining conference starting in Phnom Penh on Wednesday.
'We have been conducting research and we have obtained remarkable results,' said Sok Leng, head of the General Department of Mineral Resources at Cambodia's Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy, at a news conference.
