                    [Summary] => Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co. plans to revive its copper mining operations by September this year as global copper prices continue to rise.  


In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Lepanto said it will resume work on a copper mine in Mankayan, Benguet which was shut down several years ago due to falling copper prices. 


During the time the plant was closed, copper prices were only at $0.70 per pound compared to the current price of $3 per pound.

                    [Summary] => Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co., one of the oldest mining firms in the country, incurred a net loss of P40 million in the first quarter due to a drop in its gold production, a top company official said.


At the company’s stockholders meeting the other day, Lepanto president Bryan U. Yap said the mining firm produced only 17,000 ounces of gold in the first quarter, 15 percent lower than in the previous level.


"The lower first quarter results were not entirely unexpected due to changes in the geology which impacted the mine grade," Yap said.

                    [Summary] => Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co. plans to revive its copper mining operations by September this year as global copper prices continue to rise.  


In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Lepanto said it will resume work on a copper mine in Mankayan, Benguet which was shut down several years ago due to falling copper prices. 


During the time the plant was closed, copper prices were only at $0.70 per pound compared to the current price of $3 per pound.

                    [Summary] => Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co., one of the oldest mining firms in the country, incurred a net loss of P40 million in the first quarter due to a drop in its gold production, a top company official said.


At the company’s stockholders meeting the other day, Lepanto president Bryan U. Yap said the mining firm produced only 17,000 ounces of gold in the first quarter, 15 percent lower than in the previous level.


"The lower first quarter results were not entirely unexpected due to changes in the geology which impacted the mine grade," Yap said.
