Dinagat Islands

Dinagat Islands, designated as a mineral reservation, hosts numerous large-scale mining operations primarily focused on extracting nickel and chromite, with around 19 approved Mineral Production Sharing Agreements (MPSAs). Major companies operating on the island include Cagdianao Mining Corporation, Libjo Mining Corp, and Oriental Synergy Mining Corporation, often operating in municipalities like Libjo, Tubajon, and Loreto. These companies contribute to the regional economy but are often associated with environmental concerns.
