President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said Saturday his administration will do a meticulous balancing to protect the environment and enforce the country’s law on responsible mining.
Global Ferronickel Holdings Inc., a listed nickel miner that trades using the symbol FNI, is in talks with a potential technology partner for its plan to build a $100-million steel plant in Bataan with an eye to capture around 10 percent of the market for imported steel.
“The initial proposal in the House of Representatives was 10%. That will kill the industry,” Dante Bravo, president of the Philippine Nickel Industry Association, told Reuters.
ENVIRONMENT Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga reported an increase in revenues from mining in the first semester of 2022, adding that she is still awaiting the final figures for the year.

The value of metal production in the Philippines in the three quarters ending September expanded by 29.21 percent to P175.61 billion from P136.21 billion, buoyed by rising metal prices and higher production, according to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB).
