DoF-led task group for mining right up Barbers’ alley

Barbers, chairman of the House Committee on Dangerous Drugs, said the government should lead the way in clearing legal roadblocks being faced by stalled mining firms as a result of lawsuits filed by the private sector against the operations of these once-flourishing mining assets.

He said he expects the DoF inter-agency team to clear legal impediments, fast track privatization, revive operations, and generate jobs from several non-operating government mining assets. “Maricalum Mining, Nonoc Mining, and North Davao Mining were once successful mining companies that have failed to settle their debts with government financial institutions, leading to their foreclosure and transfer of their assets and shares of stocks to the national government,” the DOF said.
