11 Mines and Minerals

Introduction

he government remained committed and steadfast to pursue the goal in

revitalizing the mineral industry as one of the means to conquer poverty. It is confident it can assist the mining industry seek innovative ways to overcome problems that arise in pursuance of its mission and of developing the country’s mineral resources for the benefit of the country and the people.

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), as the steward of the country’s mineral resources is committed to the promotion of sustainable mineral resources development. For 2010, MGB pursued the goals in the revitalization of the mineral industry, the national geohazard assessment and mapping program, and the rehabilitation/redevelopment of abandoned/inactive mines. It continued to review the current mining tenement permitting system and initiated the review of current mining policy in providing additional government revenues from the country’s mineral wealth.

This chapter chronicled the accomplishment of MGB for 2010 pertaining to the revitalization of the mineral industry and its national assessment and mapping program to provide a climate for investments that will give additional revenues for the country.

11.1 Mineral Resources The Philippines is one of the few countries in the world richly blessed with

mineral resources. Metals, nonmetals, and energy resources abound in mountains, plains, coasts, and even in shoreline areas. Among the metallic minerals found locally are chromite, copper, gold, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, and zinc.

The mining industry in the Philippines produces wide variety of minerals from precious metals (gold and silver), to iron and ferro-alloy metals, base metals, fertilizer minerals, and decorative minerals. There were 28 metallic mines operating in the country in 2010. Miners in the Philippines consist principally of gold, nickel, and chromite producers. Gold is mined by 11 primary producers and by an undetermined number of small-scale players.

Metals mined in the Philippines consist of gold, silver, copper, nickel, chromite and zinc. Nonmetallic minerals that are currently mined in the country are coal, marble, salt, sand and gravel, silica, clay, limestone, dolomite, feldspar, perlite, rock aggregates, stone, diorite and serpentine.

While there are still other materials found in abundance, the country is constrained by various economic and other factors to mine out selectively. For metals, the principal products consist of ores and concentrates. Ores are naturally occurring

materials excavated from the ground and sold directly to the market, while concentrates are metals that have been processed in the mill before they are released in the market.

Nonmetallic minerals found in the country are bauxite, cement raw materials, clay, and coal. Also in bounty are other minerals often used as construction materials such as, diatomite, feldspar, guano, gypsum, limestone, magnesite, marble, perlite, phosphate rock, pyrite, rock asphalt, silica sand, sulfur, and talc.

Mines and Geosciences Bureau. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) was known as Inspeccion General de Minas during the Spanish regime. Exploration of mining possibilities began as early as the 1570s, when Spain was on an eager quest for the country's gold. The regime, which lasted until 1898, surveyed virtually every square inch of land for valuable metals. In the mid-1800s, the Spanish government searched for copper. Thus, copper mines mushroomed, with the first one opened by the San Remigio Copper Mines in Carawisan, Antique in 1842.

During the American regime (1898-1946), mining activities focused on retrieving gold deposits in Benguet, and later in other areas. Gold mines proliferated throughout the country until the Japanese took over in 1941. The Americans also paid particular attention to track down widely needed minerals such as iron and oil. Hence, in 1914, the colonial government declared an iron reservation in Surigao, whose domain continued expanding until 1937. For oil, the government-owned National Development Company conducted an extensive geological assessment of areas that can yield oil within 1939 until 1941.

During the Japanese regime (1941-1945), many sites of mineral deposits used in steel and arms manufacture were exhausted. Some of those explored were the copper deposits in Mankayan (Benguet), Rapu-Rapu (Albay), Carawisan (Antique), Lutopan (Cebu), and Sipalay (Negros Occidental); the chromite deposits in Acoje and Coto (Zambales), Dinagat (Surigao), and Opol (Misamis Oriental); the manganese deposits in Busuanga (Palawan), Guindulman (Bohol), and Siquijor (formerly part of Negros Oriental); and the iron deposits in Larap (Camarines Norte), Mati (Davao), and Sibugay (Zamboanga del Sur). The laterite iron deposits in Surigao were also examined for extensive metallurgical processing.

Surveys on mineral resources and their development resumed after the war. Gold mines in Benguet, Surigao, and Camarines Norte were rehabilitated in the late 1940s. Meanwhile, the Philippine Bureau of Mines, created by the Commonwealth government in 1937, carried out extensive exploration for copper in the early 1950s. The bureau’s efforts resulted in the development and operation of many copper mines, catapulting copper to lord over the mineral industry for over two decades starting in the '60s.

Towards the end of the 1980s, however, gold once again overtook copper as the most sought after mineral in the country. Copper mines suffered from economic constraints, following the limited production of minerals from ore deposits with significant amounts of gold or its by-products. The government and the private sectors shifted their interest on gold exploration in the early '80s. The development of new gold metallogenesis concepts that led to the discovery of untapped gold deposits also diminished the popularity of copper.

Mineral commodities vary in importance depending on periods. Regular surveys and assessment of the government determine the values of these minerals.

NSO 2010 Philippine Yearbook

The DENR along with the MGB, regularly conducts special surveys for minerals used in steel manufacture and cement production, ceramic raw materials, building materials, and for other minerals useful for industrial and economic advancement.

The National Minerals Policy

Integral to the revitalization thrust is the National Minerals Policy (NMP). The

policy was an attempt to incorporate the concept of sustainable development into a comprehensive policy document for the minerals industry. It set the direction on the realization of a mining industry that is not only prosperous but also socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable. The NMP is anchored on policy thrusts that include specific core principles such as precautionary principle, polluters pay principle, free and prior informed consent in ancestral domain areas, role of nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and local government units (LGUs), community development, consensus building and mine rehabilitation, among others. These policy thrusts are the following:

1. Protection and rehabilitation of the environment; 2. Promotion of social and community stability; 3. Preservation of options for future generations; and 4. Establishment of competitive and prosperous minerals industry.

The Mineral Action Plan

The President issued Executive Order 270 on January 16, 2004 with

amendments signed on April 20, 2004 (E.O. 270-A). Containing 12 guiding principles as points of convergence among the different opposing views of industry groups, local government units, civil society, indigenous peoples, and other sectors, this order also mandated the DENR to formulate a Mineral Action Plan (MAP) that shall resolve issues and concerns for the full revitalization of the mineral industry.

The MAP was subjected to consultations with professional groups, academe, civil society, media, and the mineral industry. It consisted of 57 strategies and 126 activities that shall address the problems of the mineral industry. On September 13, 2004, Memorandum Circular No. 67 from the Office of the President directed all heads of departments, chief of bureaus and offices or instrumentalities of the national and local governments, and other concerned agencies to operationalize the MAP for mineral resources development.

Mining investment roadshows to different countries were conducted in cooperation with the private sector. Among the places visited to attract investors into the Philippine mining sector were China, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Korea, United Kingdom, and South Africa.

With the national government’s efforts to intensify the implementation of MAP, the country saw an influx of foreign businessmen showing their interest to invest on the Philippine mining sector. With this, the government reported an increased investment on its flagship projects and the employment of many Filipino workers in the mining companies.

11.2 Mineral Production

In 2010, the Philippine mining industry posted a 39.4 percent increase in value of production of metallic minerals at PhP111.09 billion from the previous year’s PhP79.66 billion. Combined increases in the production volume of gold, silver, chromite, copper sub-sectors, nickel sub-sectors, and zinc caused the upsurge in total value of production. Nonmetallic production value also went up by 7.1 percent, settling at PhP33.30 billion from PhP26.50 billion of the previous year. Table 11.2 presents the value of mineral production from 2006 to 2010.

Regional production. Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) in 2009 was the top-producing region for metallic minerals, cashing in PhP10.40 billion worth of metals. Occupying second and third rank as metallic mineral producers, Caraga and Southern Tagalog registered PhP10.37 billion and PhP7.87 billion, respectively.

On the other hand, top nonmetallic mineral-producing regions were Western Visayas (PhP11.22 billion), Ilocos (PhP3.69 billion) and Southern Tagalog (PhP2.16 billion). (See Table 11.3 for more data on the volume and value of mineral production by region, province and category.)

Metallic Minerals

Production value of metallic minerals saw an increasing trend. From PhP63.60 billion in 2008, it went up to PhP79.66 in 2009, and in 2010 climbed to PhP111.09 billion, posting a big leap nearing 40 percent.

The volume of gold produced during the year (2010) was reported at 40,846 kilograms, 10.3 percent higher than the 37,048 kilograms produced the previous year. The production value of gold, on the other hand, increased by 33.6 percent from PhP52.77 billion in 2009 to PhP70.51 billion in 2010.

Silver production, meanwhile, demonstrated a big upturn in 2010, settling at 41,004 kilograms from the 33,810 kilograms recorded in 2009 or an increase of 21.3 percent. The total value of production of sliver likewise recovered from PhP716 million to PhP1,190 million representing a high 66.2 percent increase.

Nickel ore and copper concentrate also posted a remarkable increase by 86.7 percent and 45.8 percent in value, and 16.4 percent and 5.9 percent in the volume produced, respectively. Zinc concentrate, on the other hand, posted a decrease in volume produced by 9.4 percent, but an increase in value, from PhP424 million to PhP504 million in 2010.

Nonmetallic Minerals

Value of nonmetallic mineral production has continued to gain strength since 2006 when it posted a production value of PhP17.03 billion, then went up to PhP20.81 billion in 2007, and further rose to PhP23.52 billion in 2008. In 2009 the production value of PhP26.50 billion further increased and settled at PhP33.30 billion in 2010.

Coal production value remarkably increased by 52.1 percent, followed by salt with 8.2 percent increase, and sand and gravel with 6. 3 percent increase. (See Table 11.2)


11.3 Mineral Exports

Philippine exports of minerals and mineral products in 2010 were valued at US$1.87 billion, 27.2 percent more than those exported in 2009 ($1.47 billion). Exports of nonmetallic minerals, meanwhile, were valued at $162 million, 3.8 percent higher than the value exported in 2008 ($156 million). The contribution of Mining industry to total exports was 3.7 percent, while, its contributions to total employment was 0.5 percent.

11.4 Government and Mining A. Revitalization of the Mineral Industry

In line with the program of revitalization of the mineral industry and to provide

a climate of investments that can give added revenues for the country, MGB-DENR continued to initiate review of current mining tenement permitting system and review the current mining policies on mineral wealth.

Total investments from the revitalization program in 2010 reached US$952.85 million. This was 79 percent of the US $1.2 billion revised target for the same year. Contributing to the 2010 investments were the following projects: Taganito HPAL Project, Surigao del Norte; Siana Gold Project, Agusan del Norte; Runruno Gold Project, Nueva Vizcaya; and Tampakan Copper Project, South Cotabato

Taxes, fees and royalties collected from mining in 2010, on the other hand totaled PhP13,379.6 million broken down as follows: PhP1,180.8 million from fees, charges and royalties collected by DENR-MGB/LGUs; PhP6,985.8 million from excise tax collected by BIR; PhP9,463.7 million collected by national government agencies; and PhP897.0 million from taxes and fees collected by LGUs.

As of December 2010, a total of 28 metallic mines, one (1) smelter plant and one (1) nickel processing plant were operating. No data on nonmetallic and small scale mines were yet available.

During the year, six Financial or Technical Assistance Agreements were approved by the President, 318 Mineral Production Agreements ( MPSA) were approved by the DENR Secretary, 54 Processing Mineral Permits (MPP) and 202 Industrial Sand and Gravel Permits (ISAGP) were issued by the MGB Regional Directors.

B. National Geohazards Assessment and Mapping Program

The program on the conduct of geohazard assessment and mapping was started in 2005. This involves the identification of areas susceptible to natural hazards such as landslides, floods, liquefaction, ground subsidence and other ground instabilities. In 2010 this program has come to completion. Among those accomplished were:

1. Conduct of field mapping and survey – 279 municipalities were surveyed

covering a total of 5,589 barangays

Mines and Minerals

2. Assessment of relocation sites – a total of 199 relocation sites were assessed which included 10 sites in the Pangasinan, 2 in Aurora, 2 in Lanao del Norte, 2 in Antique, and 2 in Iloilo

3. Production of geohazard maps – 59 geohazard maps have been prepared

4. Conduct of workshops and presentations to instill awareness of the impacts of geohazard events (landslide and flooding) and the importance of preparedness to alleviate negative impacts brought about by these hazards.

5. Production and dissemination of IE materials.

6. Conduct of trainings and seminars to enhance skills of personnel in map processing.

Coastal geohazard and impact of climate change.

municipalities in Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Norte; 18 municipalities in Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental; 19 municipalities in Eastern, Western and Southern Leyte; 8 municipalities in Biliran and some part of Northern Leyte; and 8 municipalities in Northern Leyte)

2. Activities on sea level rise and associated hazards as induced by climate change were conducted under the project “Nationwide Study of Coastline Shift and Associated Hazards as Effected by Sea Level Change and Geological Factors”. The project aims to address issues and concerns relating to shoreline shift and relative sea level changes. A total of 2,785 line km. of Philippine coastal was covered. Actual ground survey for shoreline mapping and digitization of topographic maps were completed. This methodology would be used in map analysis to determine changes of shoreline position through time.

3. Completion of the sea bottom topographic survey and water quality measurements of 21 water samples in nearshore and offshore areas (Nabuc, Tanza, Rosario, Noveleta, and Cavite City) under the reclamation project in a joint agreement between MGB and Philippine Reclamation Authority.

C. Rehabilitation/Redevelopment of Abandoned/Inactive Mines

Assessment and rehabilitation of inactive mines is currently being done. This

is to determine the rehabilitation measures/processes to be employed and the amount needed to rehabilitate and transform into environmentally safe areas. Under the program in 2010, activities included the environmental assessment/remediation of the Bagacay Mine in Hinabangan, Western Samar and the risk assessment of five other abandoned/inactive/closed mines. Environmental assessment /remediation activities accomplished during the year were:


1. Research on phytoremediation - a ten year research project of the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) in coordination with LGUs and Ecosystems Research and Development Service

2. Reforestation - a 50 hectare reforestation involving spot cultivation, replanting, maintenance of foot paths and patrol works and maintenance of the established plantations

3. Monitoring and maintenance of limestone “Rock Dam”, A 260 cu. Meters volume of materials hauled and disposed; construction of settling pond, a 24 cu. meters “rock” dam to hold ore stockpile located at the previous airstrip and its periphery
