Masbate Gold Project

FILMINERA RESOURCEASThe mining industry is still evolving as laws are adjusted to protectthe interest of our people and the environment. This is to put thebest interest of our country who is the fifth most mineral-rich countryin the world for gold, nickel, copper, and chromite. No wonder, multi-billion companies will stop at nothing to mine our resources that iswhy a responsible mining act and an effective environmentalmanagement program to rehabilitate the affected areas must beenenforced and implemented immediately.

FILMINERA WEBSITEMining Responsibly is possible if the company is willingto work on it and take the time to really follow protocoland help the local community. One example of thismining site is the Masbate Gold Project in Aroroy,Masbate. The Masbate Gold Project is a joint venturebetween 2 Philippine Companies and A CanadianMining company.

MASBATE GOLD PROJECTRESPONSIBLE MINING also involves only 20-25 years of miningand its rehabilitation is done for another 10-15 years.RESPONSIBLE MINING requires ISO and best environmentalmanagement programs. Only capable and able mining companieshave the heart to marry mining and the least disturbance to bedone in the environment. Doing these, we have the environment’sand our future’s welfare in mind.

MASBATE GOLD PROJECTAccording to the article of PDI, Filminera said the IADplan was aligned with relevant DENR programs like theNational Greening Program, Biodiversity Program,Biochar Program for Agricultural and other Wastes,Coastal Research and Management, Clean Water andAir Programs and Solid Waste Management Program.If most mining companies have done these programs,most communities would be better served and moremining companies will stay open. So if you are in themining industry please take note of these andimplement them to ensure your long-term business.

FILMINERAScientists, health engineers are still discovering themany usage of gold as it possesses a good quality intreating and detecting diseases. That is why it is hard tolive without gold. And we have to rely on mining toextract it for us. Just like in Masbate, where Filmineraand Masbate Gold project use a strong year-roundenvironmental management program to minimize thedisturbances done to the environment. They plant trees,protect watersheds, plant mangroves and provide thecommunity with various livelihood programs aside fromeducation, infrastructure and healthcare.

FILMINERA WEBSITEResponsible Mining is the best solution to address all problemsconcerning mining. As mining cannot help but cause environmentaland social change, responsible mining calls for all mining industriesto(a) AVOID or MINIMIZE harm to the environment (with goodenvironmental management plans at hand implemented long-term),(b) respect human rights and provide jobs to the local community(c) create a very safe workplace for people and the environmentand lastly (d) responsible mining demands the mining industries toleave a good legacy in that community thru building infrastructureslike roads, schools, hospitals and others.

FILMINERAMining has always been a part of the Filipino lives. Thiswas evident as early as 1000 BC when our ancestorsmined for gold, silver, copper and iron and made into goldingots, chains, calombigas, earrings, gold dagger hangersand even tooth plating. Natives and early Filipinosbartered for gold, pearls and agate with merchants fromArab, Asia and Europe. That is why when FerdinandMagellan first saw the natives wearing gold ornamentsfrom head to toe … he knew our island is rich not only ingold but with other minerals. He had every reason toconquer us not more than our spices or goods, religion orGod but because of Gold.
