Other requirements of small-scale miners prior to extracting operations are Potential Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) and Final Mine Rehabilitation/Decommissioning Plan approved by the MGB and the Community Development and Management Program (CDMP).
He added these requirements must be complied with before the issuance of the small-scale mining contract (SSMC), allowing the miners to operate within the peoples' mining site.
He said small-scale miners operating outside these sites will be considered illegal and that the Task Force Against Illegal Mining (TFAIM) will go after the erring miners.
For the safety of the miners, the IRR of the EO 79 prohibits the use of hydraulic or water jetting, compressor mining and the use of mercury in mining operations.
