LEPANTO CELEBRATES 75 YEARS OF
RESPONSIBLE MINING

Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company was established in 1936. 2011 marks the company's 75th year in the business.

Lepanto a Filipino primary gold producer. The Lepanto mines are located in Mankayan, Benguet where the Company has about a thousand employees.

From 1948 to 1996, Lepanto's Enargite operations produced 1.58 billion pounds of copper, 2.9 million ounces of gold and 12.0 million ounces of silver, recovered from 34.4 million MT of ore averaging 2.2% Cu and 3.5 g/t Au. Lepanto suspended its Enargite operations in 1996 and in 1997 commenced its Victoria gold operations. Lepanto presently operates the Victoria and Teresa deposits, from which it has produced over 1. 2 million ounces of gold.

Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company is committed to achieving its business objectives with utmost care for the environment and concern for the welfare, safety and health of its employees and host communities.

"I am confident that the contribution of large scale mining to the GDP will steadily increase in the near future. Currently, mining contributes a meager 1.4% of the GDP of the country. With the opening up of the industry and the full support of the government, we expect to realize the full potential of the industry as an engine of growth not only in the host communities but for the entire nation."
– Bryan Yap, Lepanto President and COO

The year 2012 proved to be a taxing year for the mining industry. Hopes were high at the start of the year that the much anticipated mining policy of the government would clearly set out a growth path for the mining sector, rationalize the differing stakeholder interests and provide impetus for further investment. However, what came out in July 2012 was Executive Order No. 79 (EO 79) which (i) provides for a moratorium on the issuance of new mineral agreements until legislation rationalizing existing revenue-sharing schemes and mechanisms shall have taken effect; and (ii) deems mining contracts as expired if the contractor and the government fail to agree on the terms of renewal, which seems to be at variance with existing law.
