| Welcome to Apex Mining
Welcome to the website of Apex Mining Company, Inc (“Apex”). We’re a Philippines-based gold mining company and our main project is Maco Mine on Mindanao Island. Maco was formerly known as “Masara” but the name change was effected in recognition of the entire municipality where mining occurs rather than one particular village near the mine.
Apex has been operating for over 35 years but its management was taken over in late 2005 by a partnership between Crew Gold Corporation and Mapula Creek Gold Corporation Inc , a Philippines-owned mining company.
As of April 2009, Inferred Resources at Maco are estimated at 1.3 million tonnes at 4.8 g/t Au while Indicated Resources are estimated at 1.51 million tonnes at 6.6 g/t Au. The expected annual production target is 25,000 to 30,000 ounces
We continue to investigate the optimum mining rate for the ore bodies and the viability of recovering both copper and zinc concentrates., should the copper and zinc prices recover. |
