Delegation provides aid and assistance for over 1,000 beneficiaries from Butuan
Butuan City, Agusan del Norte / August 2014 – Adding significance to RMN Butuan’s commemoration of its milestone 55th Anniversary, Agata Mining Ventures Inc. (AMVI) mobilized its medical, public affairs and community relations personnel to support the RMN DXBC Medical Mission in Barangay Obrero, Butuan City last 18 August 2014.
The delegation joined other volunteers in providing immediate relief to common ailments, performed on-the-spot checks-ups and consultation for over 1,000 beneficiaries from all over Butuan. AMVI also assumed a major sponsorship in donating much-needed medicines during the mission, which is supported by the municipal government, the barangay council and the Philippine Red Cross.
AMVI is currently engaged in various collaborative environmental efforts with the DENR, including the reforestation of mountainous and rolling areas while protecting coastal areas and a marine sanctuary. It is a joint venture between Mindoro Resources Ltd. (MRL) and TVI Resource Development Philippines Inc. (TVIRD), which operates the Agata Project.
The joint venture aims to move forward, initially with high iron laterite direct shipping ore (DSO) operations, followed by the construction of Agusan del Norte’s first nickel processing plant that is expected to provide employment in the municipalities of Tubay, Jabonga and Santiago.
