A mayor from Davao del Sur said the entry of illegal small scale mining activities is more fearful and can bring greater harm to their community and environment
According Kiblawan Mayor Marivic Diamante, areas surrounding the town sit on what is said to be the biggest copper-gold deposit in the country and is in fact part of the mining area for the proposed $5.9-billion Tampakan Copper-Gold project.
The large-scale Tampakan mining project however was delayed, and in the danger of being scrapped, due to an existing “open-pit mining” provincial ban in neighboring South Cotabato.
