Cambodia: WH Resources plans to assess the feasibility of the Taken limestone reserve in Kampot Province's Chhouk District for exploitation. The Phnom Penh Post newspaper has reported that the company holds a licence to operate a 155 hectare mine at the site. The Cambodian Ministry of Mines and Energy said that, if its exploration is successful, WH Resources may proceed to establish a cement plant there.
The Cambodian cement sector has 9Mt/yr of cement capacity, but consumed 14Mt of cement in 2022.
