The Philippines needs to maximize revenue from its nickel mining operations. Further up, the mining value chain presents more opportunities for the country to realize the contribution of mining. The US Geological Survey (USGS) lists nickel, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth metals as critical minerals.

9.1.3 Mineral Deposits, Ore Deposits, and Mining. A mineral deposit is a place in Earth's crust where geologic processes have concentrated one or more minerals at greater abundance than in the average crust. An ore deposit is a mineral deposit that can be produced to make a profit. Thus, all ore deposits are mineral deposits, but the reverse ...
