Manila Mining Corporation is a Philippines-based natural resources and mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and commercial extraction of precious and base metal properties. Founded in 1949 and headquartered in Makati City, Philippines, the company focuses its primary exploration and mining activities in the Surigao del Norte province on the island of Mindanao. Manila Mining Corporation operates through the mining and mineral exploration business segments, providing and managing operations that systematically comprise: mineral exploration, core drilling, and geological mapping; precious metals exploration and extraction, specifically targeting gold deposits and gold doré; base metals exploration, with a primary focus on porphyry copper mineralization; secondary recovery and extraction of associated silver ores; metallurgical testing, assaying, and mineral resource delineation; and mining tenement administration, infrastructure upkeep, and environmental rehabilitation services. The company's principal assets include the Placer Project, held under Mineral Production Sharing Agreements covering gold and copper deposits, and the adjacent Kalayaan Copper-Gold Project, which is held through its joint venture with Philex Mining Corporation via Kalayaan Mining and Development Corporation. In recent operational and strategic developments, Manila Mining Corporation completed a 1:1 stock rights offering to strengthen its capital structure and fund extensive exploration and confirmation drilling programs across the Kalayaan and Placer tenements. The company has actively advanced diamond drilling campaigns to test deep-seated porphyry copper-gold extensions, progressed technical and metallurgical feasibility assessments with joint-venture partners, and pursued regulatory renewals and environmental compliance clearances for its Mineral Production Sharing Agreements and exploration permits with the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
