| Mines body seeks review of Philippines mine ban |
The Regional Mineral Development Council (RDMC) last week passed a resolution seeking for a review of the provincial ordinance that bans open pit mining in South Cotabato.
In a meeting held in Koronadal City Thursday, the council said the unprecedented local ordinance could affect the mining industry in the region which the Regional Development Council has identified as a flagship industry in southcentral Mindanao.
In June, the Provincial Board of South Cotabato passed an ordinance specifically banning open pit mining method. The ordinance was signed by then outgoing Gov. Daisy Avance-Fuentes despite strong lobby from Sagittarius Mines Incorporated. The ordinance directly affects the ongoing exploration project of SMI which is earmarking US$5 billion for the Tampakan Copper and Gold Project.

| Apex to reopen Maco Mine |
DAVAO CITY—The Apex Mining Co., declared anew by its new owners as a Philippine gold-mining company, has vowed to restart the operation of its gold mines in Maco, Compostela Valley.
The strength of its mining potential in Masara mines in Maco, said Emelita C.

She said the mines have at least 26 years of extractable mineral resources.
The current annual production target for the operation of its Masara mines was placed at 25,000 to 30,000 ounces. The company wants to increase its production target this year by 50 percent or to at least 50,000 ounces.
