THE PR(}'DCA 20AI{D LOCATION The proposed contract a.rea is situated within the Municipalities of Candelaria and Sta Cruz, Province of Zambales' lt covers an aggregate area of Four Thouso;nd. Six Hundred Nin.eteen atui 6869/ 1O,OOO Hedares (4,619.6a69 has.) encompassing Bamngays V North and South, ?ubotubo North and Soutl' Guinabon ,Lucat?on 'and Guisguis, Sta Cruz, The ar:ea is bounded within the following geographical coordinates: Please see Annex - 1' MINERAL COMIIODITY APPLIED 30 Nickeliferous Laterite alld other associated minerals 1 0 4.O DDSCRIPT10N OF THE PRO腶 ECT ARDA Below is a brief description of the project area and its vicinity focusing on the physiography, location and access, drainage system, vegetation alrd land use. Data used in the description is based on literature researches and through actual and or preliminary geological and topographic surveys. 4荭 Tenain ond. Phg siog r ap hg The proposed contract area lies along the northurestern flank of the Zamba.les Range. One of the six (6) major terrains or tectonic elements delineated in the northern Philippines, having origins far from tlreir present sites and having moved large distances with respect to adjacent terrains (Karig, 1981). The Zamba.les Range or better known now as t}le Zambales Ophiolite RarLge car, be followed southwards from Subic Bay, beneath the sea floor on magnetic and gravity prof,les, to Ambil Island in Mindoro and adjacent Islands where it is tipped up steeply, along a west-northwesterly strike and juxtaposed against the metamorphic terrain of Lubang and Nortlern Mindoro (Kaig, 1981). t V Gently rolling slopes to rugged topography generally characterizes the proposed contract area. Ground elevation vades between 900 meters to about 892 meters above mean sea level. Rugged topography at the eastern section is Bpilied by deeply entrench valleys arrd moderate to steep waterfalls. 荃2 Acessibititg Municipalities of Candelaria and Sta Cruz are accessible to all types of vehicles using various road uetworks in going to tiis western section of Zambales. Victory Liner, a public bus transport has a frequent service between 2 荛 Manila and Olongapo and Olongapo and Alaminos or between Alaminos, Pangasinan and Olongapo (frve hours). From Sta. Cruz Propoer, t}te area could be reach through a-ny existing routes, the Guisguis-Guinabon Road in t}le north, the Biay-Tubo-tubo Road in t]le cential section and the Acoje road in the sout}l. The interior areas are readily accessible through several alld previous exploration and logging road networks. 43 Drainage Sgstem The drainage pattern of the area is strongly influenced by the eistence of several peaks and broad inclined surfaces. Consequent streams which are arrange in a V loose radial pattem around the peaks drain the area, while those situated along the inclined surfaces depicts dendritic to trellis pattern reflective of ttre overlfng lithologr. Furthermore, the nature of the underlying rocks, indeed determines ttre eroding characteristics of the rivers. SEeams cutting through sedimentarjr and highly weathered ultramafic rocks are generally deeply incised and characterized by steep banks and cascades. However, sfteams traversing fresh and or un-weathered malic suites rarely produce steep banks. The headwaters and kibutaries of Nayom and Sta Cruz River Systems drain the northern section of the proposed contract arca. Whereas, t].e headwaters and tributaries of Cabalual River System drain the central section, while Lauis River System drain t]le southern section of the area. All tiese river systems empty its load towards the South China Sea. 腏艒 4荃 Vegetqtion The area is characterized by secondar5r groMh vegetation. It has been largely denuded of primar5r forest due to past commercial logging and subsequent slash-and- burn farming. Flatlands/lowlands some distant away from the applied area are seasonally plalted to cash crops such as rice and vegetables. Other areas not devoted to seasona.l crops are sparsely vegetated with second growth trees that can be found mostly in moderately elevated sedimentary formations. The ubiquitous cogon is present in most of t}Ie mentioned otier ajeas. Pine trees such as Agoho and Mindoro Pines grow in central alld southeastern sections of the proposed contract area. These are the products of the reforestation initiatives of the previous mining and exploration activities in the area. 4-5 Land Use Classification Based from the Municipal Planning and Development 艫 Ollices of Sta. Cruz alld Candelaria, through its 1996 腪腀靛 Municipal Planning and Development Programs, the applied area is classified as Forest _Lond. Though a few numbers of families settled in the vicinity of the former Acoje Mines, there is still no other signifrcant or observable land utilization in the area. The other portion of the applied area, especially at the low \ring areas, are seasonally plarted to cash crops and covered v/ith cogon and other tropical grasses, 5.O DFSCRIPTION OF EXPI,ORATION PROGRAM The program hereby presented outlined and details the schedule of activities, speciflc tdgets, objectives, outputs and budgetrequirements. 4 The main objective of this exploration program is to characterize and assess fully the nickel, cobalt and other associated mineral contents of tlte nickeliferous laterite deposit in the subject area in order to delineate a sizeable resource that can be economically developed as well as exptoited in the near future. It also aims to geologically document the nature, tlpe ard depositional character of the said product of chemical weatlering so that tlis can well serve as basis or model for further exploration work in other areas of similar geologic setting. Specifically and ultimately, this program aims at 腥腀 腀 delining an inferred resource potential through a drilling 腪 campaign at 200 meter x 200 meter grid intervat. If the survey furthers warrants, where an inferred resource potential is subsequently delineated, then a lOO meter x 1OO meter square grid drilling shall be carried-out to elevate tlle resource potential to an indicated resource category. Finally, a closely space gdd of 50 m x 50m to 25 m x 25 m. pattem for a measured category. 51 I Exploration Work Program Below is tJIe exploration work program intended to be ca.rried-out within the proposed contract area and consists of the following phases: 5. 1. 1. Preliminary Exploration Activity a. Literature/ Research Work b. Data coUation and compilation 5.1.2. Reconnaissance Geological & Geo-chemical Soil Survey 5.1.3. Semi-Detailed Survey 苄 菒 \, 芁 Geological Mapping 腀 节 腀 Re -sampling of Old Workings 芄 Hand Auger arrd lVinkie Drilling 5.1.4. Topographic and Ground Control Survey 5.1.5.

Hand Auger arld Winkie Drilling 5.1.6 Project Feasibility Study, Volume & Reserve Estimation and Environmental Impact 腒 Assessment Study 5- 1 - 1 Pre6minary Eaploration Actiuitg It is a common practice that prior to the commencement of actual fieldwork, compilation of all available data will be conducted to gatler and gain more and better understa-nding of the geolory, structure and mode of occurrence of the nickeliferous laterite and other associated mineral deposits in the area. Previous test pits and drilling data including location, geologic logs and corresponding assays, shall be reviewed. A re- assessment of the method used in the sampling and calculations of previous reserve is also important to be conducted. Preliminary topographic and base maps shall be prepared with promising sites and or targets sha.tt be plotted. After all the necessary literature researches and data base have been accomplished, the supplies and materials for the field survey shall be prepared. 6 V 腒 膍 Below are the previous works carried out in the proposed area during and under the old tenement rights such as Commonwealth Act No. 137 and Presidential Decree No. 463: In 1967, Global Mining Resources, Inc. (Global) laid claim to over 70 sq. kilometers of mineral land encompassing the proposed applied area for nickeliferous laterite deposit. Also in the 1960's, Benguet Consolidated, Inc. (BCI) through an operating agreements with several mining companies such as Zambale s Chromite Mining company, Filipinas Mining Compary and Consolidated Mines, Inc covering a tota.l area of about 35 sq. kilometers conducted also extensive exploration activities at the northern section of Zambales. After extensive verilications by the Bureau of Mines on the mineralization and boundaries of certain claims, the sarne were approved and granted a mining right. During the years 1968 lo 1972, extensive exploration qorks were undertaken by Global and BCI on tbgir respective areas. Geological mapping, ground 腒 conbol surveys and subsurface investigations were ` V conducted by both companies for the verification of the commercia.l content of the nickel deposit. h !976, a-fter the necessar)r evaluation artd assessment of all exploration data on the nickel deposit gathered by the said companies, Falconbridge Nickel Mines of Toronto, Canada (Falconbridge) signed up with Global and BCI to further explore the propertie s and caEe up with a feasibility study for the joint venture project. From 1977 to 1983, Falconbridge dug test pits on a 1O0- m center grid spacing in t}Ie more piospective areas 腎膌 where nickel ore (laterite and saprolite) averages 腝 1.7% Ni. 艫 艩 膌 艥 Falconbridge stopped the project in August 1983 腝 due to low nickel meta.l prices, increasing operating costs and unstable political conditions in ttle counky. BCI relinquished then its right to operate in the area and dropped or returned the mineral claims to the original claimowners. As of May 1983, the aggregate total proven probable and possible reserves for all the properties explored was placed 56.9 Million DMT of 1.7o/o Ni (average glade). About I 1.9 Million DMT of this is within the Insular Chromite Reservation Parcel 3. 5.7.2 Recanndissance Geological and Geo-Chemical Soil Surueg On the basis of the data and information gathered and generated during the previous activity, a reconnaissaace geological mapping and soil and when necessary, rock sampling shall be conducted. A11 the different rock types will be mapped out and characterize accordingly. Nickel laterite deposit which is the target commodity will be give n the utmost consideration in the conduct of the survey. Likewise, rocks tiat are related or associated to nickel laterite deposition will also be given attention, since tiey can be utilized in further understanding of the laterite characterization in the a-rea. Route (roads, rails) mapping and traverses along stream channels and on areas where suitable rock exposures carr be noted will be carried-out. A topographic map of scale 1:50,O00 will be used as base map. A sampling density of around two (2) samples per square kilometer will be implemented. 8 V Rock samples of interest will be sent to the laboratory for chemical and petrographic analyses. Simultaneous with geological site selection and sampling is a survey to orient the geochemical sampling medium or media and procedures. This activity shall be conducted purposely to check and veri!, the best sampling medium ald the best soil horizon to sa.rrple. From t}te previous studies conducted by several private and government exploration groups in the early 8O's, both soil and strea$ sediment having minus 80 mesh (BSS, 177 micron opening) fraction of both media was shown to provide adequate contrast. The ampang is bent on using soil as the sampling medium for its geochemical suweg. ?his activity shall be carried-out by a geochemist and two (2) geo-techniciars or aides for a month. The density of base of slope and ridge soil geochemical sampling is 3 to 5 samples per square krn. This sampling density may be increased to 7- i 10 samples in areas with widespread and thick laterite occurrences. 5. 1. 3 Semj-Detailed Surueg Data gathered from rapid reconnaissance and from previous data acquired during "Global" days shall be incorporated to come up with a survey design suited for a 1:25,000 to 1:1O,O0O scale mapping. A tota.l of 50 previously dug test pits (old workings) with elevated nickel values shall be rehabilitated and re-sampled. Channel sampling on excavated face s sha.[ be implemented. Samples generated 9 V from each sampling points shall include origina.l/primary sample, duplicate ald standard sample. Ttrese samples shall then be subjected to Quality Control Testing Procedures. Sampling shall be done in a systematic way so that possible trends in the chemical character of the deposit may be determined. A hand auger drilling shall also be conducted as an advance drilling campaign to explore the soft Iaterite profile to delineate potentia.l areas within the proposed tenement ajea. Drill holes with encouraging assay values ar:e then to be deepened . using "winkie' drrll machine from soft laterite zone | to the hard saprolite horizon. Around 2-3 kg of V primary samples for initial shall be collected sample preparation. Initia.l sampling preparations includes systematic logging artd labeling, sun drying, crushing using mallet to approximately 5mm of about 2 kg of dried samples, blending/splitting (-1.7 kg for duplicate sample and 0.3kg for sample to be sent and (. atalyz*d, in the laboratory, that requires further preparations), re-labeling and storage. Approximately 100 samples will be analyzed for Ni, Fe, Co, Mg a-nd Al by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) to verify and better understand the qua-tity or va.lues of the commodities of interest. 5.1.4. Topographic and Location Surueys A topographic and location survey of the delineated areas is indeed necessary in mine development planning and design and for the establishment of legal boundaries. The resulting topographic map is 10 莵 uselul in accurate design of grid pattern for test pits, trenches or simply random grab sampting. This is liker,vise necessary in plannhg the site for drill holes during drilling activity. The specilic survey activities to be carried-out aJe the following: aEstablishment of grid lines or pattern for geochemical survey and geological mapping survey. The grid lines shall from 20O m x 20O m to 100 meters x 100 meters or 50 m. x 50 m. intervals, Based from the above grid lines, sampling points is normally set at either 50 meters or much closer apaxt at 25 meters, particularly on areas with nickel laterite enrichment; b. Establishment of control (vertica.l ard horizrntal) baselines at various strategic areas of t}le proposed exploration site based from the cadastral and larld survey control stations. Generation of topographic map for semi-detailed to detailed surveys in scale of 1:5,000 and 1:2,500, respectively with contour interval from 10 down to 2 meters; Determination of the true geographic position, horizontal and vertical control and true elevation oI mineralized areas, trenches, test pits and drill holes; and d. Establishment of legal boundaries of the a-rea applied for. This activity shall be conducted for three (3) months by a team of surveyors and aides consists of two (2) Geodetic Engineers, hve (5) surveying 膍 J aides and 3 guides/ brushers. A "Total Station" surveying instrument sha.ll be used for this activity. 5.1.5 Follou.,-Up/ Detdiled Swreg After pinpointing/de lineating potentia.l target area encountered during the previous activities, a detailed or follow-up survey sha.ll be designed and conducted. A smaller map scale shall be used for the purpose depicting more details of the hndings or data gathered. A 1:5,000 and a 1:2,500 map scale shall be utilized. 裪腒 This time, the focus of survey will be concentrated 腪腀 only on areas with the most promising deposits. Unlike the previous survey it covers the entte a-rea and its vicinity. Sites having good exposures will be sampled in greater detail using transit in grid pattem. The sampling will be done in a systematic way so that a possible trend in the nickel values may now be accurately determined. i.l Geoclemical Soil Surueg Together with the conduct of geological mapping is the geochemical survey. The sampling medium of this survey is soil. Soil samples are normally taken from pits dug in the ground. The depth of sampling horizon is based from the orientation survey to be conducted prior to the full exploration activities. But normally, it is being taken at the B Horizon - the zone of metal accumulation. The most appropriate sampling will be from base-of-slope, ridge, and spurs. Sampling shall be carried out at intervals of 50 m to 10O m or at change in litholory. 腏 艹 € J The sampling is being conducted using either shovel or a sample pick. If the depth of sampling cannot be tackled by a shovel, then a hand auger shall be used. A pre-numbered, high- wet-strength kraft paper envelope measuring about 10 cm x 20 cm. shall be used to keep ttre samples, In order to reduce weight during sampling, a vret-sieving procedure (approx. 30 mesh BSS) shall be used during the traverse. 腌 During this phase, test pitting and trenching shall 腀腀膌 腀 be carried out in 腪腀 a number of sites to determine the lateral and subsurface continuity and character of nickel enrichment/mineralization. On this stage, sampling will be done horizontally and vertica-lly to identiff arly appreciable changes or variation in the essential chemical constituents of t}Ie materials of interest. In-fill drillings using auger and "winkie drill machines shall also be carried out. \,'-) Grid mapping and closely space sampling shall be undertaken on areas where the physical ard chemical character appears too variable. All samples taken will be analyzed for petrographic and ASS. Approximately 1,500 soil samples and about fifty rock samples shall be collected. The same fietd sampling preparation procedures as presented under item Semi-Detailed Phase shall a-lso be implemented.

The interior areas are tlen readily accessible tirough several and previous exploration and logging road networks. 40 DESCRIPTION OT THE EISATING EI{VIRONUENT This section describes the environmental setting and some baseline environmental conditions in the area of t]le proposed project and is divided into six sub-sections vis; 4.1- l,ar.d, 4.2- Water; 4.3 Air; 4.4-Geolo$r/Geomorpholo$/ (physical environment) 4.S-Biological Environment; 4.6-People (Socio-economic V environment). 4.1. I-and Environment This sub-section presents the environmental conditions of t}le project ar:ea and its vicinity focusing on the following pararneters: Topographg/ Phgsiography, Land Use/ CapabiliA, Soils/ Pedologg. 4. 1. 1 Topographg/ Phgsiographg Ttre proposed contract area is genera.lly characteriz€d by a gently rolling slopes to rugged topography. Ground elevation varies between 10 meters to about 892 meters above mean sea level with gradients between 57o to 30 yo - The site is part of the Zambales Ophiolite Range; one of t}Ie six (6) major terrains or tectonic elements delineated in the northern Philippines. Rugged topognphy amidst Sta Cruz eastern area is typiJied by deeply entrenched valleys a.IId moderate to steep waterfa.lls. Dendritic to trellis pattern reflective of the overlying litholory chaJacterizes the drainage system. Draining the northern areas are tributaries of t]:e west southwest- flowing Nayom and Sta Cruz River System. While headwaters aid tributaies oi Cabaluan River system drain tie central section, whereas, l,auis River System drains tie southern section. 4 . 1 .2 Land Use/ Capabilitg Based from the Municipal Planning ald Development Offices of Sta. Cruz and Candelaria through its 1996 Municipal Planning and Development Programs, tlle applied area is classifred as Forest Land. 'f.,].orugh a few numbers of families settled in t}le vicinity of t]le former Acoje Mines, \!rH \/ !.7 there is still no other significant or observable land utilization in the area. Moderately lying topography in the westem and some portions in the eastern section of the propoaed contract area ai.e seasonally planted to cash crops such as upland rice, fruit -bearing trees and vegetables. Other areas not devoted to seasona_l crops are sparsely vegetated with second gro!\,th trees, which can be found mostly in moderately elevated rock formations. 4.1.3 Soils/ Pedologg the At present, tttere is no available data yet to present but soil sampling and analysis will be immediately and simultaneously conducted with the regional survey. Result of which will be included on the status report of t}Ie exploration work program. 4.2 Water Environment V This sub-section presents the environmental conditions in the project area with respect to water. There are plenty of waterways in the project area ard its vicinity. They are characterized as perennial streams. Nayom a-Ird Sta. Cruz River in t.l.e north, Caba.luan River System in the central portion and Lauis River System a.re the major river systems in the project area. Among these river systems, only l,auis zuver was already classified by t}Ie DENR as Class B River. Since, there are still no accurate water qua.lity artd hydrologr data that can be presented, determination of which will be conducted during the EIA baseline information 腜 gathering. Results of these will be incorporated in the status report of tie exploration work. 4.1 Climatolos// Meteorolory This sub-section presents the environmenta_l condition in the project area ard surrounding sites focusing on ltre Climate and Air QualitV Aspects. 4.3.1 Climate The Climate of Zamba.les Province, where ttre proposed project is located, is classified as 'Iype I on t}le Modified Coronas System of Philippine Climates on which the basis is tie temporal rainfall distribudon. Ttris tjrpe of climate has no pronounced dry season and rainfa_ll is more or less evenly distributed throughout tlle year. Based on the 3O-year record of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, artd Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), tlle average rainfall in the aiea is 腏菒 v 1,770.4 rnrn. T?re average monthly temperature in the kovince ranges from a high of 32'C in the month of April to a low of 22.2"C during the montis of Februarl and January. Data on relative humidity (RH) indicate that the monthly va.lues do not vary very much. The lowest RH is in the month of April al 79/o and, the highest during the months of June and July at 8370. The average annual relative humidity is 82o/o- 1.3.2 Air QudiA From tlle actual observation, and since, tlere is still no industry in the area, the air quality is generally good. No data on the ambient air quality can be presented yet, however, gathering of baseline information on tlfs aspect will be undertaken at tlte start of the exploration work in compliance to the environmental monitoring requirement. It is equally worth mentioning too, that based from the Philippine Environmental Quality Report of the EMB- DENR covering the year l99O to 1995, the country is still saddled with air quality problems specia-lly urban centers as well as sub-urban areas. Particulate matter (PM) concentration in ambient air, primarily dust, meta.llic particles arrd smoke has been increasing. ln the 1980's, the highest level of particulate matter recorded is at 25O micrograms/NcM or 3 times the allowable standard of 90 micrograms/NcM. 'Itris figuie shoot up to 322 microgram/NcM in 1994, and this is attributed to massive laJld development and industrialization. Roads and building constructiorls, quatrying and. other earTh mouenent actiuities signifrcantly alTect and or cont!'ibute to the air pollution of a particular area with regards to particulate matter emission. They account for 8T/o of the tota.l PM and 73 o/o of total PM-10 emissions. 4.4 Geological/Geomorphological Environment Ttre proposed contract area lies in the so-called Zambales Range/Zarnbales Ophiolite Range ttrat comprises a complete ophiolite sequence. Ttris includes tectonized peridotite, cumlratelayered gabbro, diabased dikes ard sills, pillow basalts, silicic plutonic rocks, and overlying sediments (Evans and Hawkins, 1982). This huge tectonic unit may be subdivided into at least two (2) separate units, believed to be derived from dillerent geologic settings (Evarrs and Hawkins, 1982). The northern unit comprises the Acoje Block, on which the proposed exploration area is situated and the southern unit, the Coto- East side block, which is structurally more complex and exposes a complete section from west to east of tectoniz€d o @tt peridotite, gabbro, diabased and minor silicic bodies, pillow basalts and pelagic sediments. The said ophiolite sequence is evidently capped with its weathering derivations notably nickeliferous laterite deposits. Ttrese are well observed in the proposed contract area. These are reddish brown earth material made up of oxides of silicon with other associated mineral or metals such as nickel arld cobalt. LaterizanorL in the proposed area suggests relative stability of the region. 4.5 Biological Environment Vegetation and fauna survey of tie project site and vicinity was initially conducted tirough an oclrar survey. Vegetation aralysis revea.led that t-lle area and vicinity can be classified into two vegetation tjapes: (1) secondary forest, and (2) grasslard. The secondary forest is comprised mostly of ipil-ipil (l€ucaena leucocephala), while tlte grassland, with the occurrence of ipil-ipil, second- growth V tree species, and fruit bea-ring trees are sparsely scattered in the area. The identification of fauna within the site was based on the actual sightings of the species and on secondary data gathered from the residents in the area. *conddry ForEst a. Overstorv/Canopv l,aver. Ttte overstory layer is dominated by ipil-ipil (L.leucocephala), which occurs eitier in small patches or in pure stand. T'he associated secondar5r forest tree species consisted of 莄 binuga (Macaranga tarraiius) , anabiong (Tlema orienta.les), arld flgs(fcus spP.). These species are remnants of primary forest, which occur as patches a-long steep slopes. b. Intermediate l,aver . The dominant species identified at the intermediate layer a-re the saplings of ipil-ipil (L.teucoceptalal and coronitas \Lantana camard\. c. Ground l,avei. The most noticeable species idendfred at tJre ground layer are k)lape lPaspdlum coniugadtm) ooko, and other ruderal seedlings, herbs, grassses, and vines. Grassland The grassland area is dominated by hagonoy lchrornolqena odorara) which grows well in the area. It is co- dominated by para-grass \Brachaiara taiical' rnakd\iya (M,inuisq and other ruderal herbs, grasses, arld vines' 膍 蝃 腒腪 trqurta The existing vegetation of t}le project site harbors various wildlife species, which are t]:e main focus of the survey. Some of these species encountered include pipit ( Gerygone s-ulphurea sinple4, layang- layang (Hirundo rustica gutturalis\, and lower forms of animals such as butterllies (Papilio sp.) arld dragonfly (c, Colia-s sp.). 4.5 Socio-economic Environment The project area is devoid of any residential settlement. But a few houses were noted along the existing macadatn road some 1OO meters away from the subject area and most of t].em ar:e engaged in charcoal making and subsistence farming. Existing facilities and infrastructures for health, education, social services, water supply, telephone and electricity are confined within the town centers and far from rhe project site itself. 5,O DESCRIPIIOT OT ETPLORAAIOI YORI( The program of work hereby presented outlined and details the schedule of activities, specilic targets, objectives, outputs arld budget requirements.

Specifrcally, this prograrn is aiming at deflning an inferred resource potential through a drilling campaign at 20O meter x 2OO meter grid interval. If the survey further warrants, where an inferred resource potential is subsequently delineated, then a 100 meter x 1OO meter square gid. driuing shall be carried-out to elevate the resource potential to aI indicated resource category and finally to a closely space grid pattern to a measured category. 5.1 brploratioE work ProgtaE Below is the exploration work program intended to be carried-out within t}Ie proposed contract area and consists of t-l e following phases: 5. 1.1.

Environmental Impact Assessment Study 5.7.7 P"ertmlnot! Ext loralrlon Activtty 菋 It is a common practice that prior to the commencement of actual fieldwork, compilation of all available data will be conducted to gather and gain more and better understajrding of the geolory- mode of occurrence of tlle Nickeliferous l,aterite and associated mineral deposits in tie area, structure, previous test pit and drilling data, tiat is location, lithologic log artd corresponding assays. A review or re-assessment of the metiod use in the samplings and ca-lculations of previous reserve are likewise, importalt to note. A preliminary topographic and geological map will be prepared and the possible promising sites and or targets will be determined/identified ajld delineated having these as basis. After all the required literature 荃 researches have been accomplished, supplies and materials for t-lle actual field survey are prepared. 5.7.2 Sem;t Detalled su"veg On the basis of the data and information gathered and generated during the previous acdvity, a simultaneous geologigal mapping and selected test pit re-sarnpling will be conducted, A11 tie different rock B?es and or lithologies will be mapped out and characterized accordingly. Nickeliferous Laterite deposit shall be given the utmost consideration in the conduct of the survey. Likewise, rocks tiat are related or associated to laterization shall also be given attention, since; they can be utiliz€d in t].e further understanding of t}re laterite characterization of the area. Route (roads, trails) mapping a-nd traverses along stream channels and on areas where suitable rock exposures can be noted will be carried-out. A topographic maps of scales 1:5O,OOO alld 1:1O,OOO will be used as base maps. 荭 蝁 膥 A tota-l of 50 previously dug test pits (old workings) with elevated nickel values shall be rehabilitated and be re-sampled. Channel sampling on excavated faces shall be implemented. Samples generated from each sampling points shall includes origina.l sample, duplicate and standard sample. These samples sha-ll then be subjected to Quality Control Testing Procedures. The sampling will be done in a systematic way so that a possible trend in the chemical character of the deposit may be determined. A hand auger driUing shal a.lso be utilized as an advance drilLing campaign in the soft laterite profile to delineate potential areas within t}re proposed tenement area. Drill holes with encouraging assay values are tien to be deepened up by u.rinfie drill machine from soft laterite zone to the hard saprolite horizon. All samples wiU be analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectometry (AAS) in a laboratory to better understand the quality of the commodities of interest. 5.7.3 Dolloutup or Detalled. Surueg Having gathered severa-l data during the previous survey programs, a detajled or follow-up survey of the most important or significant blanket deposits will be implemented. The aim of this program is to frrly assess, characterize arld establish furtler the extent of nickel enrichment/mineralization. The program will be carried-out using compass and tape traverse metiod in grid pattern. During this phase, hand auger test pitting or trenching might be carried out in a numkr of sites to 腛 determine the lateral and subsurface continuity as well as the character of nickel enrichment. This wiu a.lso give an idea on the thickness of weathered or laterite materials, which will be used later in the design and plarning during the development stage. On this stage a.lso, sampling will be done horzontally ald vertically to idendry any appreciable changes or variation in t].e essential chemical constituents of the materials of interest. Grid mapping and closely space saapling will be undertalen on areas where the physical and chemical chaiacter appears too variable. All samples taken will be ana.llzed for AAS studies. 5.7.4 Topographtc and Crr?uttd Condal su'r g.ys These surveys sha.ll be simultaneously conducted with tie pertinent mappings and subsurface investigations. This activit5r aims to (y/, establish g'ound control and base line to be tied to a known reference survey point within certain municipa-lity. A Topcon Total Station aftd cps shall be utilized for tiis purpose. In laying out various or alternative grid patterns such as 2OO m x 2OO m or lOO m x 1OO m grid, a brunton compass, GpS, Theodolite and Topcon total Survey instruments shall be use. It also aims to establish three (3) triangulation stations to be used later in determining the geogaphic/grid coordinates for certain dritl hole sites. 5.7.5 Volune q.nd. Resente Cornputatton Acttvttg The subsurface information derived from this drilling program will give factual data to be used in volume or reserve computation. Likewise, the information gathered will be used in later design and plarming activities for mine development. A theoretical resource estimate shall be conducted based on tie drill intercepts with a O.97o Ni cut-off grade. 5, 1. 6 Fea-slblltty Studtes After the deposits have been block accurately, a mine feasibility study will be undertaken to determine the economic viability of the project. This will be followed by mine planning ald design. Simultaneous with ttre prepalation of t].e mine feasibility study, an Environmental Impact Assessment Study may also commence to gather ard established baseline information on various critical environmental aspects and to better safeguard and support the proposed project. 5.2 Preltmtnarg hoceslstttg of *rnples Samples talen from outcrops, test pits, from hand auger drills and winkie drill shall initially and immediately process by drying (sun), quartering aid packing for delivery to company's accredited mineral laboratory. Rock chip samples shall be sun dried and properly labeled. Channel samples ta_ken along walls of test pits or trenches shall be sun dried ajrd quartered. Samples taken on every site shall be carefully plotted on a map and given proper description. All these steps sha.ll be taken properly before tl.e sample are submitted to tl:e laboratory. For core samples, every sample taken shall be systematicatly labeled and placed in a core boxes. l,ogging of which are made through proper geological observations kr terms of structures, litholory/facie change, deg'ee of fracturing , etc. @1u V data gathered during sampling are material Primary saprolite-tiansition material, and hard t!.pe that is , limonite, rock/bed rock; material color and core recovery.

Excavations for mud pit or water impoundments will be backiilled as soon t}te drilling operation is completed. Erosion rate is expected on areas disturbed due to loss of vegetation, but are negligible due to the size of the aJfected area. 艏腌腏艑On Hydrolory and Water Quality 6.2.1 Potential Generation of Acid Mine Acid Mine or Acid Rock generation may likely occur especially in eastem section of the proposed area where minor concentration of nickel sulphide deposits is present. The proposed exploration activity may generate acid mine during test pitting or even during drilling. Potential sites therefore, are mineraliz€d outcrops subject of subsurface study. Stoclctr iled materials having sulphide minerals or have suphidic ores coming from t}Ie outcrops may generate acid run-olf when exposed to air and water. Oxidation is tie main chemica-l reaction and reason for an acid drainage. It is highly acidic and c€rn contain dissolved heavy metals. These are toxic to aquatic life and have great impact on the surrounding environment. These sites tend to be few in numbers and are approximate ly limited to the outcrop itself. Normally, outcrops in the project site do not exceed 5 meters long and 3 meters wide. 63 On Ecolory The eco-system will certainly not be alfected in relation to the degree of exploration work being proposed. Effects of noise on the ecologr is likewise nil as the use of drilling machines will be managed by providing rubber pads to minimize vibrations, appropriate mulller to regulate noise level and proper lubrications of all moving parts. 64 On Socio-economic Effects The proposed contract aJea is located some 5OO to 8OO meters above mean sea level. Site inspection revealed that the proposed area is devoid of any permanent settlement or inhabitants. Ma-keshift houses numbering an average of three for every two- kilometers, were noted along logging road some lOOm from tlle proposed area. The proposed exploration work, indeed will not in anl.way allect the said residents. The proposed exploration activities can however, provide positive impacts, since, local emploj.ment maybe V made during the actual field surveys. Interviews conducted on dwellers of the said makeshift houses revealed that most of tiem are charcoal ma-kers and subsistence farmers. 70 ENVIRONUENTAL IIAI{AGEMEITT IIE,ASI'RES INCLI'DING cosTs From the preceding discussions it was clearly predicted and identilied t}le possible impacts of the exploration activities. From such prediction and identification the proponent likewise prepared and laid-out corresponding mitigating measures to minimize if not totally eliminate a-11 tlre impacts the project may generate. From V t.I.e facts presented, it can be noted that most.rre of short- term duration. Below are the following measures that the proponent will undertake: '1.t Progessive Rehabilitation of Disturbed l,and Based from the previous discussion, the most likely afld necessal/ to have rehabilitation are those areas with disturbed surfaces. These are tie test pits, temporaiy roadways with appreciable disturbances, and the drilling site itself. Test pits are being conducted wit]. a span of time, which during its active state may serve as death traps to both people and animals alike in the field. Right after t}le observations and measurements are made on greater nurnber of test pits and interpretations were carried-out, bacldrlling of the excavations followed. During the bacldrlling activiLies, the sub-soil sha.ll first be retumed as it was before and the top soil sha-ll be the last in order that the 14 Q9/ rehabilitation process on every disturbed aJeas call easily return and adopt to its original state. Areas ajlected by makeshift roads (due to driUing equipment stationing/positioniog) will be tufnovei to tlte concerned Barangay. If not possible, it will be replanted with fast growing trees togetler along areas with unstable portion such as Gmelina, kakawate and ipil-ipil as it was common in t}le area. These temporary roadways will surely be a sma.ll portion, since, for drill site that are located with high gradient, the driuing equipment will be disassembled and be draan by a number of carabaos as being done by other drill contractors. In driUing sites, drill sumps shall be constructed to effect water recycling and more importa.ntly to prevent drilling fluids from contaminating the surface water as well as the surface itsell the dritling fluids and mud to be used will be a non-toic and water-based and has passed t}le EMB lists of regulated and approved chemical materials as per R.A.6969. V 7.2 Maintenance of Soil Stockpile lt is important that the excavated soil shall be stockpiled properly in order not to be eroded alrd cause siltation upon reaching surface waters. The sub-soil and t}le top soil sha.ll be properly separated for easy and proper bacldilling. Small drainage canal shall be constructed to divert running water in coming to t}le stock file materials. 7.3 Maintenance of Roads to Minimize Dust Dust emissions on roads are maybe conlined outside the proposed contract area. The site is traversed with V network of trails that are more than enough to conduct geological mapping and rock salnpling. These trails are pardy vegetated with tropical grasses that serve and prevent dust emissions. Estabtished roadways can only be found at the approached of the claim area, however, this roads will be sprayed with water to minimize dust, especia.lly during the height of dry season which can txuly allects local residents. 7.4 Handling of Toxic and Hazardous Materials Only during drilling that chemicals maybe used. As per previous discussion, the company will not be using toxic or haardous chemicals in tie conduct of drilling. An alternative water based fluids and mud will be utilized instead. Fuel and oil that will be used by the drill equipment will be properly stored away from water- courses to prevent contamination. A drain catch qrill be constructed so that in case a spillage happens it will be confined in certain area only. In addition, the drill machine is equipped with dnI platform that can handle spillage of 3-5" of liquid. l5 @;a 腝 7.5 Accommodation of other Economic Activities in t}re Area With the exploration activities in the area, an initia_l livelihood prograrn may be planned- out to help add income to t}Ie residents. 7.6 Altemative Plans, if Specia.l Habitat of Flora and Fauna are Affected Based from previous discussion on the Biological environment, the area of interest has some wildlife species but not t}te rare ones. This will also hold through with the flora.l system of the area. Plant nursery will be put up in certain area of the proposed site to support the rehabilitation program ard reforestation of the disturbed areas. 77 Socio-economic Mitigating Measures A courtesy call to the people in authority in the area sha-ll be carried-out prior to arly exploration activity in the area. Acquaintances aJrd consultative meetiogs to discuss V the proposed exploration work with t}re proper persons and the people of the community will be conducted. Preference wiu be given to t}Ie local residents in hiring personnel during the entire progam. 腎膌艏 艏 Abandonment The progressive rehabilitation conducted during the exploration works will provide answer to the abandonment plan, since, it will readily and immediately rehabilitate the area. The adaptation period is very short, which in turn very effective and appropriate. The following are tlte proposed measures and procedures in the conduct of an abandonment and rehabilitation programs allected by the exploration: A. Camp Site: All temporary facitities and or structures shall be removed and disposed off in a proper manner, Re-usable materials shall be kept or be donated for some noble use. Compacted surface area of the camp shall be cultivated and planted with appropriate vegetational covering common to t}Ie area. Temporar5r garbage pit for organic wastes shall be bacldrlled properly to restore disturbed surface. B. Drill Site: All drill sites shall be restored in an environmentally acceptable maJrner. Sedimentation ponds or drill sumps shall be back-Iilled. Disturbed soil shall be restored alld re-vegetated. 16 0荭 Empty drums or containers sha.ll be removed, retumed or resale to suppliers for further use if applicable. Safe containers can be donated to the local community. Oil spillages is projected to be nil or minimal due to the drill platform that will be employed. It is capable of collecting 3-5 inches of spilled liquid within the influence of drill equipment. Disturbed surfaces after each drilling activity, shall be re-vegetated immediately to adapt prompfly to the local surrounding. C. Access Road: Haul roads for drill machine and its accessories contributes largely to areas projected to be disturbed during detailed stages of exploration. Drill machine shall be carried-out along sledge puUed by several number of carabaos. Sledge trails shall be re-vegetated after being V used. D. Unstable slopes: The proposed project area has an approimatg slope gradient between 5-1@/o. During t}Ie course of exploration study, any subsurface activity with resultant unstable slopes shall be immediately remedied wit]l a geotechnical engineering works and replanted with fast growing trees ard other vegetative covers to ensule stability. Significant areas having unstable slopes not related tie exploration sha.tl be noted arld appropriately informed autiorities of its potential risk. E. Control Measures for Acid Mine/Rock Drainage In the exploration period, sources of acid run-off are outcrops subject to subsurface investigation such as test pits, trenches and even drilt holes. The following are the control measures in the generation or occurrence of aJ] acid rock drainage. 1. In trenches or: test pits: Stockpiled materia.ls having sulphide minerals or have suphidic ores coming from the outcrops may generate acid run-off when exposed to air and water. Oddation is the main chemica.l reaction and reason for an acid drainage. To control occurrence, is to neutralize potential acid materials (pam) with lime or limestone. Other measures intended to be carried-out is to bury or isolate pam with clay cover to prevent entry of air and water, But the best measure to be implemented ia the immediate back filling and 17 (ry,t 膥 restoration of these ground openings before any significant chemical reaction take place. 2. In Drill Holes: All drill holes after afi extensive study shall be appropriately plugged to prevent contact of sulphidic ores with air and water. Selected holes for future study sha-ll be properly cemented and inserted with plastic pipe witl cap. These holes may serves as monitoring well and avenues for several studies to be conducted in the future specially in the conduct of an environmental impact assessment.
