                    [Summary] => The Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Pollution Adjudication Board (PAB) has granted the request of Lafayette Philippines for a 60-day temporary lifting order (TLO), extending its previous 30-day test run in its Rapu-Rapu project in Albay.


In a three-page order, the PAB upheld the recommendation of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) in Region 5 to allow the 60-day extension of Lafayette’s test run, noting that mine operation was intermittent, thus affecting the efficiency of the mine facility’s detoxification system.

                    [Summary] => 



An adjudication board attached to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is set to tackle today the request of Lafayette Philippines for a 60-day extension of its test run in a P1.4-billion mine project in Rapu-Rapu, Albay.


Lafayette’s 30-day test run lapsed on Friday night.


However, Environment Undersecretary Francisco Bravo, Pollution Adjudication (PAB) Board chairman, said they only received the request of Lafayette over the weekend.


"Last Monday, they simply called (and asked for the extension)," he said in an interview.

                    [Summary] => The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has given the go-signal for Lafayette Philippines to proceed with the third stage of its test-run, even allowing the mining company to test-operate up to 100 percent of its rated capacity.  


In an order dated Aug. 24, the DENR granted Lafayette’s motion for a "full-capacity" test-run during the third stage, which would involve a simulation of an actual milling operation of its polymetallic project on Rapu-Rapu Island in Albay.
