DMCI Mining set to expand operations with two new mines in 2025

Emerging nickel producer DMCI Mining Corporation is on track to transition its operations from a single mine for most of 2024, to three active mines this year.

The Zambales Chromite Mining Company (ZCMC), located in Santa Cruz, Zambales, commenced operations in December 2024. The mine is expected to reach full operational capacity by the first quarter of 2025. ZCMC operates under an Environmental Compliance Certificate, permitting an annual production limit of 1 million wet metric tons (WMT).

In Palawan, the Berong Nickel Corporation (BNC) is preparing to restart production through its Long Point mine in Aborlan, which is in the final stages of securing its Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA).

"Our two new mines, ZCMC and BNC's Long Point, mark a long-anticipated step forward for DMCI Mining. With increased production capacity and the Long Point port nearing completion, we are confident in delivering improved operational and financial performance this year," said DMCI Mining president Tulsi Das C. Reyes.

In 2024, DMCI Mining invested Php 634 million in capital expenditures and plans to allocate Php 400 million in additional investments in 2025 to support the expansions.

"We're targeting a combined annual production capacity of 3 million WMT from our three mines, including Zambales Diversified Metals Corporation (ZDMC), subject to the approval of necessary permits for Long Point," Reyes added.

BNC's Quezon, Palawan mine was fully depleted in 2021. Rehabilitation efforts began in 2022 and remain on track for completion by 2027 under the six-year program.
