Santos, PhD Professional Geologist and Competent Person Competent Person Report | RASantos 2 INERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE REPORT FOR PACIFIC NICKEL PHILIPPINES INCORPORATED (PNPI) September 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This technical report discloses the mineral resource estimate of a part of the Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) of the Pacific Nickel Philippines Incorporated (PNPI) denominated as MPSA 072-1997-XIII. This work made use of all the historical data for test pitting, auger drilling, and mechanized drilling since the inception of the areas in consideration as part of the Surigao Mineral District sometime in 1939. Bulk of the data were generated through the series of exploration and geological studies initiated by the Philippine Bureau of Mines (PBM), the present Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) between the years 1953 to 1958. Succeeding activities were conducted by Marinduque Mining and Industrial Corporation (MMIC) which later initiated the mining and the nickel processing plant operation from 1977 to 1986. The nickel resources herein declared include only that portion of the saprolite layer which was drilled during the previous exploration works. The present exploratory drilling programme is intended to cover the entire laterite section portion – from the top limonite horizon through the saprolite profile until bedrock. The whole MPSA has an aggregate area of 23,877 hectares which covers almost a third of the mainland Dinagat Island (17,729 hectares) and the three adjacent islands in the south namely Nonoc (4,265.5 hectares), Hanigad (976 hectares), and Awasan (916 hectares). The latter islands and the South Dinagat peninsula (4,816 hectares) were the areas considered in this report. The database covers 35,214 drill holes and test pits location and an enormous amount of analytical assays at 256,950 mainly for the elements Ni and Fe and to a minor extent for Co, Mg, and Si. The database was built–up and compiled to a much later date by Minproc (1998) and its subsidiary, Vantage Mining Group (1996), for the purpose of reviving the mine and plant operation as commissioned by PNPI. The mineral resource estimation of the historical data yields the following results: For Nonoc Island and adjacent areas of South Dinagat peninsula, Hanigad and Awasan Islands at 0.70%Ni cut-off for Measured Resource for all matrices yield a total resource of 143M Mt at 1.25%Ni average grade and iron contents averaging at 35%Fe: AREA CATEGORY Cut-off %Ni Volume Resource Ni Wt% Fe wt % Nonoc Area 1 measured 0.7 11,512,600 11,374,528 1.26 39.73 Nonoc Area 2 measured 0.7 27,636,094 37,861,448 1.24 46.44 Gaboc Area measured 0.7 1,807,200 1,959,177 1.10 28.70 Nonoc Areas 3 & 4 measured 0.7 20,856,000 24,271,373 1.30 34.65 Nonoc Area 5 measured 0.7 26,581,100 32,979,946 1.43 34.35 Nonoc Sub- 0.7 88,392,994 108,446,472 1.27 36.77 TOTAL Competent Person Report | RASantos 3 INERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE REPORT FOR PACIFIC NICKEL PHILIPPINES INCORPORATED (PNPI) September 2014 AREA CATEGORY Cut-off %Ni Volume Resource Ni Wt% Fe wt % South Dinagat measured 0.7 24,602,700 30,487,065 1.45 34.72 Hanigad Island measured 0.7 1,137,500 1,218,674 1.09 32.95 Awasan Island measured 0.7 2,311,500 3,058,205 1.18 35.87 Islands Sub-TOTAL 0.7 28,051,700 34,763,944 1.24 34.51 Grand TOTAL 116,444,694 143,210,416 1.25 35.64 For Indicated Resource at 0.70% cut-off the total resource yields 92M Mt with 1.23% Ni average grade and an average iron contents of 33%Fe broken down as follows: AREA CATEGORY Cut-off %Ni Volume Resource Ni Wt% Fe wt % Nonoc Area 1 indicated 0.7 3,987,200 4,432,616 1.17 32.68 Nonoc Area 2 indicated 0.7 27,585,898 30,395,880 1.31 33.99 Gaboc Area indicated 0.7 3,023,700 2,769,141 1.09 26.73 Nonoc Areas 3 & 4 indicated 0.7 5,786,200 6,525,154 1.13 34.63 Nonoc Area 5 indicated 0.7 9,010,600 11,098,219 1.38 35.68 Nonoc Sub-TOTAL 0.7 49,393,598 55,221,010 1.21 32.74 AREA CATEGORY Cut-off %Ni Volume Resource Ni Wt% Fe wt % South Dinagat indicated 0.7 25,297,100 28,218,422 1.41 35.21 Hanigad Island indicated 0.7 3,077,000 1,967,376 1.15 26.65 Awasan Island indicated 0.7 5,119,900 6,708,704 1.20 32.22 Islands Sub-TOTAL Resource 0.7 33,494,000 36,894,502 1.26 31.36 Grand TOTAL 82,887,598 92,115,512 1.23 32.05 The combined resources (measured and indicated) of all the areas in consideration are at 235M Mt at an average of 1.25%Ni and the Fe average at 35%.

  • Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines
    Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines Asuncion B. De Guzman, Alita E. Openiano, Marilou M. Ologuin and Jeanette J. Samson Mindanao State University at Naawan, 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Mainit is an important natural resource shared by two provinces in northern Mindanao, Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Norte, notable for being the deepest and the fourth largest lake in the Philippines. This wetland ecosystem supports a thriving freshwater fishery and the livelihood of more than 4,000 fishers. At least 19 types of traditional and ingenious modifications of fishing gears are used. On the average Lake Mainit fishers earn an estimated monthly income of Php4,340 which falls below the poverty threshold for an average family in rural Philippines. Part of a comprehensive resource assessment project in Lake Mainit is a socio- economic profiling and appraisal of the numerous intervention programs in fisheries management and livelihood development introduced into the lakeshore communities in an attempt to improve the ecological and socio-economic situation around the lake. The results of this assessment will provide the scientific basis for formulating a comprehensive fisheries management plan for Lake Mainit that shall, in turn, be integrated into the Lake Mainit Development Alliance (LMDA) development agenda to help restore Lake Mainit fisheries to sustainable levels by addressing issues on declining water quality, regulation of fishing effort, and decreasing fisher income. Keywords: Lake Mainit, socio-economics, management issues, intervention programs, LMDA. INTRODUCTION Lake Mainit is an ecologically important resource within two provincial jurisdictions in the Caraga Region, namely, Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte, bordered by eight municipalities that comprise the Lake Mainit Watershed (Fig.

Size-structure analyses and gonad characteristics of the elongate sunset clam Gari elongata from the coastal waters of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, Philippines, was determined in this study. An opportunistic sampling approach was applied during the collection of G. elongata from the coastal waters of Brgy. Loyola and Brgy. Aquino. A total of 1437 G. elongata individuals were subjected to length-weight measurements, and gonads from five (5) individuals per sex among size classes were processed for histological characterization. The maximum total length of G. elongata recorded is 5.42 cm, way smaller than its congeners elsewhere, which is at 7.0-9.2 cm. The size- structure analysis shows that G. elongata from Brgy. Loyola exhibited negative allometric growth while those gleaned from Brgy. Aquino exhibited positive allometry indicating variation in growth dynamics. Known as a gleaning source, Barangay Loyola is abundant in G.
