Didipio mine operator renews commitment to local mining
Manila Bulletin
|November 24, 2025
Listed mining firm OceanaGold (Philippines) Inc. (OGP) is exploring a potential offset extension to its Didipio mine as part of a long-term strategy to bolster production of gold and copper.
OGP President Joan Adaci-Cattiling said underground exploration drilling is well underway within the Didipio mine and its permit area of approximately 7,000 hectares.
“We're very happy that we're able to do that because we have our current operations, but we don't [want to] remain stagnant. You look for other opportunities,” she told reporters last week.
Adaci-Cattiling said she cannot disclose the number of sites the mining firm is considering, as exploration work is still ongoing.
