MANILA – The total monetary value of Class A gold, copper, nickel, and chromite reserves went up by 22 percent last year, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said.. In a report on Thursday, the PSA said the total monetary value of Class A gold, copper, nickel and chromite reserves amounted to PHP491.19 billion in 2022 from PHP402.73 billion in 2021.
The total chromite reserves in the Philippines increased by 11.21% from 40.33 million MT in 2013 to 44.86 million MT in 2018 due to an upward reappraisal. Among the three classes, Class C of chromite reserves had the biggest share with an average volume of 34.93 million MT from 2013 to 2018. It rose by 30.82% from 31.75 million MT in 2016 to 41 ...

Chromite is an oxide mineral composed of chromium, iron, and oxygen (FeCr 2 O 4). ... Russia, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, Cyprus, and Greece. The first discoveries of podiform chromite deposits were made near Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1800s. These deposits supplied nearly all of the world's chromite until about 1850.
(Perm and Kempirsai mining districts), Albania, Turkey, Philippines, New Caledonia, Cuba (Moa district) and India (Sukinda and Nausahi districts). About 45% of the current world chromite production comes from stratiform deposits, but they account for about 70% ofthe world's chromite reserves and 90% ofthe world's chromite resources.
The chromitite occurrences in the Central Palawan ophiolite can be classified into four groups based on their chemistry and geological relationships. Group-I chromites from a deep tectonite level of the ophiolite complex show Cr/(Cr+Al) values of between 0.78 and 0.90, whereas group II from a shallower level gives values of 0.64–0.78, and group III from the immediate gabbro …

The Acoje block of the Zambales ophiolite in the Philippines is a fragment of forearc lithosphere that formed at ca. 44–43 Ma during subduction initiation in the Western Pacific (Fig. 1 A; Hawkins and Evans 1983; Leblanc and Violette 1983; Yumul and Balce, 1994).This block hosts a world-class high-Cr chromite deposit with Cr reserves of ~25 Mt. (Fig. 1 B), making it ideal …
The Coto Chromium Mine, located in Zambales, Philippines, was initially found in 1925. It was classified as a medium-sized mine in terms of its production output. The primary mineral extracted from this site is chromite, while the associated waste material consists mostly of magnetite, antigorite, and olivine.
The Zambales ophiolite is the major source of chromite ore in the Philippines. The chromitites are concordant cumulates and are associated with distinct chromitite-bearing sequences within the mantle peridotites. Refractory and metallurgical chromite deposits are spatially separated and related to different lithologic associations, which crystallized from different parental magmas.
