The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) under the provincial government of Surigao del Sur bared that the province no longer issued any regular permit for small scale mining as of March 2014.
PENRO-LGU chief Edgar Valentin clarified that the deferment of the acceptance and processing of application was due to Executive Order (E.O.) No. 79 entitled “Institutionalizing and Implementing Reforms in Philippine Mining Sector Providing Policies and Guidelines to ensure Environmental Protection and Responsible Mining in the Utilization of Mineral Resources.”
