Cagayan de Oro
Cagayan de Oro is also endowed with mineral resources, both metallic and non-metallic. Non-metallic deposits are the most popular and are widely used for industrial and agricultural purposes. These include sand, gravel, limestone and feldspar.
It should be noted that many of the areas in Cagayan de Oro are bedded with limestone bodies. Larger exposed limestone bodies are in the vicinity of Indahag. Iron boulder deposits (magnetite and hematite) are in the vicinities of Barangay Dansolihon. Gold, platinum and iron are also found to be in Tuburan, Pigsag-an and Taglimao. DENR Region 10 recorded a total of 832.00 hectares of gold, platinum, iron and silver with mining permits under a small-scale mining in Cagayan de Oro City. |
