KUALA LUMPUR (April 25): JRG Minerals Sdn Bhd is collaborating with Shandong Huaxin Industry Co Ltd for a development project in Kuantan, Pahang, with an estimated value of RM15 billion.

In a statement on Thursday, JRG said the duo have inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a mixed-use development on 2,428 hectares of land in Bandar Baru Bukit Goh, Kuantan.
