[edit] Philippine mining operations
Since this is a stub, I added this to expand: The Philippine Court of Appeals on June 11, 2008 issued a 60 days temporary restraining order preventing Nueva Vizcaya “from acting on a cease and desist order issued by Governor Luisa Cuaresma against Oceanagold (after it refused to pay P 30 million ($ 680,000) quarry permit).” OceanaGold invested $ 200 million to develop its Didipio Gold-Copper Mining Project in Didipio, Nueva Vizcaya. The mine would produce 120,000 ounces of gold and 15,000 tonnes of copper concentrate a year in the first 10 years of production with a minimum life of 15 years.reuters.com, Philippine court rules in favour of Oceanagoldbusiness.inquirer.net, Court rules in favor of OceanagoldEnvironmental groups led by Kalikasan-PNE (People’s Network for the Environment) however, criticized the appeals court Order: “the entry of OceanaGold is the root cause of tension and violence among Ifugao communities in Dipidio.”gmanews.tv, Group denounces order allowing resumption of Nueva Vizcaya mining--Florentino floro (talk) 08:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
