About Raub

The Raub is a town in Pahang, Malaysia. The town is arranged 110 km from Kuala Lumpur and 265 km from Pahang's capital, Kuantan. Raub is one of the most seasoned towns in Pahang. Raub was investigated and established in the eighteenth century. It is a memorable gold mining settlement, and the gold mining industry is currently experiencing something of a resurgence as the gold cost has risen. As indicated by the history, this mining focus was named Raub after a gathering of excavators found a bunch of gold in each plate of sand they burrow. This is portrayed by J.A. Richardson in his book, The Geology and Mineral Resources of the Neighborhood of Raub Pahang.

As indicated by him page 36, "Individuals found that for each "dulang" of sand there was a bunch raub of gold". The old people's story describes that in the mid nineteenth century, an old man and his two children found gold each time they gathered up the earth in Raub. Hence, the town and the area got their name from the Malay word raub which signifies "scoop". Raub wound up renowned in the mid twentieth century for its mining asset gold. At that point, gold mining in Raub was worked by Raub Australian Gold Mine RAGM, an organization enrolled in 1889 in Queensland, Australia. The organization was at first known as Australian Syndicate Ltd and later as Australian Gold Mining Co. Ltd in 1892. RAGM worked until 1961.
