  • Natural Resources 51
    50 CHAPTER 4 NATURAL RESOURCES 51 Chapter 4 NATURAL RESOURCES his chapter provides background information on the status of the mineral resources, forest resources, and coastal resources in the profile area, which t help determine the best resource use and approach to resource management. MINERAL RESOURCES The province of Negros Oriental has a variety of mineral resources of important economic value with copper topping the list. In the profile area, minor deposits of copper are found in the Manjuyod, Sibulan, Bacong, and Dauin area (OPA 1990). Iron and its related compounds of magnetite, pyrite, and marcasite are also found in Sibulan. Solar salt is made in Tanjay, Bais City, and Manjuyod. Other deposits include limestone, dolomite, diatomite, manganese, galena, gypsum, phosphate, and china clay (OPA 1990). Commercial deposits of red burning clay are mostly found in the southeastern portion of Negros Oriental; however, some deposits are spread throughout the profile area. Sand and gravel is also extracted from municipalities in the province and in the profile area. A total of 103,000 m3 of sand and gravel has been extracted in recent years (PPDO 1999). UPLAND FOREST RESOURCES Total good forestland in the province of Negros Oriental is believed to be only 5 percent (27,011 ha) of the total land area of the province (540,230 ha). This low forest cover is due to illegal logging activities that are difficult to stop despite government efforts to formulate laws and enforce prohibition. According to PPDO (1992), forestland is 281,386 ha and is broken down into 5 categories. The categories and the respective areas are summarized in Table 4.1.
