The Sangay Nickel Project, an advanced project with complete mining infrastructure (i.e., assay lab, staff houses, causeway, access roads and haul roads), is programmed to produce five million tons of nickel ore over the next five years. It has a confirmed ore reserve of 5,604,216 metric tons with an average grade of 1.20% Ni and 26.43% Fe. ORVI has also delineated a partial probable ore resource of 38,360,000 metric tons that will ensure the longevity of the project for the years to come. These resource and reserve measurements will be certified by a Competent Person under Philippine Mineral Resource Code.The Palhi Nickel Project shows signs of fantastic potential from initial drilling activities conducted on site. Within a 42 hectare area from the total tenement size of over 2,000 hectares, an initial mineable reserve of over 7.5 million tons metric tons with an average grade of 0.95% Ni and approximately 32.93% of Fe has been delineated. While continuing exploration and definition drilling of the extension of the orebody, a mine plan has been generated with a target of over five million tons of nickel ores over the next five years from 3Q2010.Preliminary surveys and drilling activities conducted on the Sangay and Palhi projects indicate the presence of lumpy and sandy form chromite ore. Initial tests reveal that this ore can be upgraded to above 40% after undergoing beneficiation.
