A SENATOR has sought a probe of nickel and metallic mining operations on Sibuyan island in Romblon province south of the Philippines after residents set up a human barricade to block these activities.
In a statement, Altai said it is “committed to maintaining the highest standards of environmental responsibility and community engagement.” “Residents just want to protect the natural resources in their area,” she added. “The residents are well within their rights to protest.” By December 2022, a mineral ore export permit had been issued to the company, allowing it to bulk test 50,000 metric tons of ore. But residents said the company had failed to get a village clearance, municipal business permit and foreshore lease contract from the Environment department, as well as a permit to build a private port from the Philippine Ports Authority.
