KAFUGAN MINING INC.

Kafugan Mining Incorporated (KMI) offers a strong investment opportunity in a large-scale nickel laterite mining operation located in Carrascal, Surigao del Sur, Philippines. The company’s flagship Pantukan Nickel Laterite Mining Project covers a total contract area of approximately 3,248.06 hectares under MPSA Nos. 247-2007-XIII-SMR Amended A and Amended B, providing substantial long-term production and expansion potential.

 

Operating since 2022, KMI has rapidly established itself as a growing and reliable nickel producer committed to responsible and sustainable mining practices. The operation currently produces and exports nickel laterite ore consisting of both limonite and saprolite material, with total reserves estimated at approximately 74.1 million tons, including 29.4 million tons of limonite and 44.7 million tons of saprolite ore.

 

KMI utilizes efficient contour mining methods supported by purpose-built infrastructure and advanced logistics systems. To date, the company has produced approximately 5.92 million tons of nickel ore and successfully shipped 89 vessels equivalent to 4.87 million tons of quality lateritic nickel ore to international clients in China and Indonesia, where the ore is processed into ferronickel, stainless steel, and other nickel-based industrial products.

 

Strategically located, the project benefits from excellent access to critical infrastructure, including proximity to Butuan Airport, major road networks, and Adlay Port, supporting efficient mining logistics and export operations.

 

KMI maintains a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible mining. The company holds ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Certification and implements engineered dust suppression systems, progressive rehabilitation programs, and sustainable infrastructure development initiatives designed to minimize operational impacts and support long-term ecological sustainability.

 

The company also prioritizes strong community engagement and sustainable development through continuous stakeholder consultations, employment generation, social development programs, and environmentally sound mineral resource management practices benefiting host and neighboring communities.

 

Operational excellence is further supported by extensive all-weather haul roads, a centralized 1-million-WMT stockyard facility, 24/7 operational campsites, and innovative technologies such as SmartEx systems, Truck Tagging Systems, and retractable LCT covers that enhance shipment quality, logistics efficiency, and operational reliability.

 

Looking ahead, KMI is advancing the development of its Rotary Kiln Roasting and Beneficiation Plant, a major value-adding initiative designed to improve ore quality, reduce moisture content, enhance nickel and iron grades, and strengthen the Philippines’ participation in the global nickel value chain. The project is expected to significantly improve operational profitability and market competitiveness while supporting domestic mineral processing and economic growth.

 

KMI’s strong operational performance, commitment to sustainability, and forward-looking development strategy position the company as a highly attractive investment opportunity within the Philippine nickel mining sector.
