It operates and controls almost 2,000 has. of prime mineral lands in Surigao Del Norte, Southern Philippines, and has an applications for another 4,850 has. around its mines. Mining operations commenced in the 1970s - initially small-scale using the underground method, and graduated into large-scale open pit mining operations in the mid 1980's. Prior to the shutdown of its operations in 2001, MMC had produced over a million oz Au. The shutdown was principally due to the non-renewal by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the permit to operate MMC's tailings dam.
