OTHER METALS
NICKEL
The Philippine nickel resource is the biggest in Southeast Asia
Improved technology makes low-grade lateritic ore viable

CHROMITE
Improving chromite prices could revive Philippine chromite
mines in Zambales, Palawan, Samar, Dinagat and Zamboanga.

IRON
The increasing demand for iron is reviving exploration for the
commodity in the Philippines
The spatial relationship of carbonate rocks with younger
intrusives in the Philippines offers the possibility of finding
new skarn deposits

LEAD and ZINC

Ophiolitic and Early Tertiary arc terranes in the Philippines


holds much promise for VMS deposits similar to those of
Lafayette in Rapu-Rapu island.

THE NEW MINERALS INDUSTRY


AND SUSTAINABLE
Enshrined
inDEVELOPMENT
the 1987 Philippine Constitution,
acknowledged in Philippine Agenda 21 and recognized
in the WSSD Plan of Implementation.

Given flesh through the Philippine Mining Act of 1995,


its revised implementing rules and regulations and
recently, in EO No. 270, the National Policy Agenda
Revitalizing Mining in the Philippines.

Advances the critical shift from purely regulatory


compliance to sustainable development where:

Mineral resources development is undertaken in a


transparent and sustainable manner guided by
relevant laws, rules and regulations, industry
guidelines
and
corporate
responsibility
and
accountability; committed to the highest technical
standards, management systems and practices; and
engaged in a sustained process of consultation with
local
governments and communities,

FORTIFYING THE FOUNDATIONS


FOR A REVITALIZED MINERALS
INDUSTRY

CLEAR, STABLE & PREDICTABLE POLICIES

Streamlined procedures for mining applications


Stable fiscal regime and equitable sharing
ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL CONCERNS
Rationalize environmental standards
Strengthen protection measures and sureties
PROVIDE STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS ON MINERAL

Slide 25

OUTCOME OF THE REVITALIZATION


OF MINERALS INDUSTRY
An industry with sustained exploration activities
dominated by new generation, high profit potential
mines able to absorb the profit objective of the
contractor and the social and environmental costs of
modern mining and contributing to the sustained
economic well-being of the nation and in countryside
community development;
A value-added minerals industry that paves the way
to
industrialization
by
generating
wealth,
employment and other benefits in both rural and
urban regions and exporting finished products
rather than raw materials;

Slide 26

OUTCOME OF THE REVITALIZATION


OF MINERALS INDUSTRY

Recognition of multinational and state corporations


with proven track record as pace-setter in modern
technologies
in
mineral
exploration,
mine
environmental management and social culture, and
experience in the application of innovative
technologies from whom the country could benefit
in the discovery of new mineral deposits and in the
management of mines;

Enhanced contribution of the mining sector to the


economy with reduced social and environmental
impacts;

Mining Philipp

Slide 27

OUTCOME OF THE REVITALIZATION


OF MINERALS INDUSTRY

A socially accepted and vibrant minerals industry


demonstrating a track record of good corporate
practice and engaging in enduring relationships
with stakeholders;

Retrofitting of local operating mines & quarries and


the management of public health & safety and
environmental risks associated with abandoned/
inactive
mines
and
their
cost-effective
transformation to targeted end-uses acceptable to
local communities and other stakeholders;

Mining Philipp

Slide 28

OUTCOME OF THE REVITALIZATION


OF MINERALS INDUSTRY

A culture of change leading to a self-regulating


minerals industry driven by the highest degree of
professionalism, responsibility and accountability
and dedication to continual improvement and
commitment to Best Practice and sustainable
development;

Improved environment for research & development


and enhanced collaboration among Government,
industry and academic research sectors, with
increased participation of stakeholders, to build up
the scientific base needed to support policy
development and innovative response to unique
industry challenges and opportunities;

Mining Philipp

Slide 29

OUTCOME OF THE REVITALIZATION


OF MINERALS INDUSTRY

Strong linkage with international organizations and


active participation in international initiatives to
learn and share and be part in developing
international consensus and response to common
issues on mining; and

Full government support at the local and national


level, to mineral resources development as a
development option for the country.

ONLY PROSPEROUS BUT ALSO ECONOMICALLY,
SOCIALLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY
SUSTAINABLE, WITH BROAD COMMUNITY AND
POLITICAL SUPPORT, WHILE POSITIVELY AND
PROGRESSIVELY ASSISTING IN THE
