Manicani Mine 5 ► MPSA granted on August 13, ► MPSA suspended by DENR on November 18, 2002 due to social issues. Operations put on care and maintenance status since then. ► On July 1, 2014, DENR authorized the disposal of nickel ore from the stockpile, which was the result of operations in the late 1990’s. ► Based on Company records, which are still subject to further drilling and testing for validation, available resources from the stockpile are: ► Actual shipments could commence in 1 to 2 months.
