Abstract

Perlis is a small state in northern Malaysia, and it has both isolated tower karst hills as well as a long range of limestone hills. Many of the natural caves within this hill range contain alluvial tin deposits that were extensively mined during the 20th century on a scale that is unique for tin ores from caves.
