Filed under: Region 02 - Nueva Vizcaya
IF ANYONE wants to have a glimpse of how rich Nueva Vizcaya is in mineral resources, consider this: It is host to two of the only six large-scale mining projects in the country that have been given the green light by the government to start mineral extraction.
The Didipio gold-copper project and the Runruno gold-molybdenum project, owned by Australian firms Oceanagold Philippines Inc. and FCF Minerals Inc., respectively, cover a combined area of 20,720 hectares in the upland towns of Kasibu and Quezon.
