Question

What are the minerals that can be found all over the philippines especially in mount's Apo and Kanlaon?

Answer 1

Mt. Apo is rich with minerals such as sulfur (which is considered by the IP`s or Lumads as having medicinal values), copper, and coal.

The Philippines is the fifth most mineralized country in the world, with established reserves of 15 known metallic and 29 nonmetallic minerals and an untapped mineral wealth.

During the past two and half decades, metallic minerals accounted for 61% of the country’s mineral production (Figure 14). Gold contributed the highest (36%) share followed by copper which comprised 21% of the total cumulative production.

The Philippines is a well-endowed country in terms of mineral resources. With its long history and experience in mining, it has demonstrated its very rich potential for copper, gold, nickel, chromite and other metallic minerals through the commercial operation of numerous mines. It is also abundant in non-metallic and industrial minerals such as marble, limestone, clays, feldspar, rock aggregates, dolomite, guano, and other quarry resources.
