Mineral Reservation Program

An area proposed for mineral reservation was identified in the Province of Sultan Kudarat

particularly in the municipalities of Kalamansig and Lebak. Prospective areas were

assessed through reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling and field activities

were conducted on September 15-30 and October 19-31, 2016 respectively. Lkwise,

activities were undertaken such as stream sediment sampling on the major river system

and its tributaries while geological mapping/sampling were conducted along the road cuts,

ridge exposures and adit vein exposures. Coconut trees were being counted as part of

the environmental resource mapping. There are a total of eleven (11) stream sediment

samples and forty (40) rock specimens that were collected and stored for laboratory
