"Thick Quaternary sediments in the Pulai gold mine form alluvial deposits along the main rivers, namely, the Sungai Galas and Sungai Tan See. Overall, the Pulai gold mine geology is comprised of north-south blocks of Lower Permian metasedimentary rocks, limestone, and pyroclastic and volcanic rocks that strike in the NNE direction"[Ai Zamruddin et.al.].

Coordinates are set for the confluence of the Sungai Galas and Sungai Tuang rivers.
