PNP Surigao del Norte thanks Taganito Mining for 2 vehicles
s support to the peacekeeping and law enforcement efforts of the province, Taganito Mining Corporation turned over two (2) vehicle units, one Kia Bongo and one Hyundai Porter, to the Surigao del Norte Police Provincial Office (SDNPPPO) and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG). The turnover was led by TMC Resident Mine Manager Engr. Artemio Valeroso at the Provincial Police Office, which was represented by Provincial Director PCol. Renato Mercado and PMaj. Felix Dennis Alicando of the CIDG Surigao del Norte PFU. “Surigao del Norte Police Provincial Office is known for its initiative in reaching out to the downtrodden members of the community, especially during the pandemic brought about by COVID-19 and when Typhoon Odette unleashed havoc, causing many Surigaonons to go homeless and even hungry,” said Mercado. Mercado added that the vehicles “will be very useful during different community engagements especially in far-flung barangays, as activities to reach out to the people is a continuous and sustainable effort geared to uplift the lives of those in need. Thank you very much po.” Engr. Valeroso remarked that like the PNP, TMC has the same end goal of contributing to a brighter future for its people, communities, and other stakeholders; one way of which is by partnering and supporting different offices and agencies.
CELSIUS: COPPER NEAR SURFACE AT SAGAY PROJECT
C
elsius Resources is pleased to announce it has received results from 3 drill holes confirming shallow extensions to the large-scale copper mineralization previously discovered at its Sagay Project held under its Philippine subsidiary Tambuli Mining Company, Inc. “The copper mineralization covers a huge area at Sagay at depth, and we are now proving this up at shallower levels. This round of drilling has confirmed that the mineralization now extends up close to the surface, extending up from

the earlier discoveries which has intersected copper mineralization from around 100 meters to over 1,000 metres depth,” said Celsius Executive Chairman, Martin Buckingham. The results identified extensive geological alteration and other features which are interpreted to be linked to the porphyry copper mineralization at Sagay. Broad zones of low-grade copper mineralization were also intersected in all three drill holes, including 44.3m @ 0.27% copper from 139.2m in SGY-036, 112.2m
@ 0.16% copper from 197m in hole SGY-038A and 247m @ 0.14% copper from 113m (to the end of the drill hole). “The discovery of key geological features and copper mineralization near the surface is an important stepping stone, with further follow-up now required to define the higher grade core to this system also at shallow levels. This is extremely encouraging as it also allows us to consider lower-cost bulk mining methods as part of our next phase of studies at the Nabagia-a Hill Project area.” ISSUE 2 2022 • WWW.PHILIPPINE-RESOURCES.COM
