West Malaysia can be divided into three different metallogenic belts which are intruded by granitoids. The granitoids in the three belts are identified as the Main Range Batholith, the Central Region and the East Coast Region. The granitic rocks of the Main Range Batholith and the East Coast Region contain economic tin deposits. Small amounts od cassiterite occur in the Central Region but is insufficient for economic exploitation.
