Mining in the Philippines is a growing and producing industry. According to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau’s Mining Facts and Figures – The Philippines is the fifth most mineral-rich country in the world for gold, nickel, copper, and chromite. It is home to the largest copper-gold deposit in the world. The Philippines metal deposit is estimated at 21.5 billion metric tons and non- metallic minerals are at 19.3 billion metric tons, as of 2012. Furthermore, the bureau has estimated that the country has an estimated $840 billion worth of untapped mineral wealth, as of 2012.
Thus, it is not quite surprising that the industry is mounting and developing. In fact as of September 2016, there are about 40 metallic mines and 62 non-metallic mines operating in the country. The 2016 data from MGB also states that there are approximately about 236,000 workers in the mining industry.

Any mining companies here who wants to have a lightning Protection system?
MGB and DENR let Engineers as Mining Executives for Environmental aspect while Mining companies let Environmental professionals and Foresters do the environmental technicals that are directed by by their executives. Then after all, DENR suspends the company for its lapses in environmental compliances.. Who’s fault is it?
Many mining engineers handling the environmental management department of many Philippine mining companies with environmental awards have MS degrees or are PhDs in environmental management, environmental science, or environmental engineering. So they are professionals not only for mining operations, but also for environmental management.
