Glenister, of Ipoh, Perak, F.M.S., on behalf of the Klang Prospecting Syndicate, to acquire any mines, mining, water and other rights, and mining claims in any part of the world, to prospect and explore mines and grounds containing metals, minerals or precious stones, to carry on the business of rubber estate owners and planters and growers of rubber, gutta percha, coffee, rice, etc. Among the directors are Mr. W. A. Addinsell, who is chairman of the Killinghall (Rubber) Development Company.' [1]

1931 'Killinghall Tin, Ltd., which was formed in 1929, has now issued its report for the year to August 31. This states that the dredge commenced digging on December 7, and it is expected that the production of tin ore will commence next February. Owing to the additions and improvements decided upon as a result of experience gained in the working of other dredges, it is stated, the original estimated cost of this company’s dredge and equipment has been exceeded. Arrangements have been made to finance the additional cost by way of a loan secured by a charge on the company's assets, upon equitable terms as regards interest and repayment.'[2]
