Large-scale mining alert!
The Proposed Iron Ore Pangasinan Offshore Magnetite Mining Project located in Municipalities of Sual, Labrador, Lingayen, Binmaley and and City of Dagupan, Province of Pangasinan, covers a total area of 9,252.4506 hectares.
It is now applying for an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC). It is a Category A : Environmentally Critical Project (ECP) which entails extraction of metallic and non-metallic minerals including extraction of oil and gas, deuterium (off-shore).
Project proponent is the Iron Ore, Gold, and Vanadium Resources (Phils.) Inc., or . (referred to as Vanadium Resources), an Australian mineral exploration company. The proposed project is covered by a Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) No. 07-2020-IOMR approved by the Office of the President on November 25, 2020.
