                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Thousands of small-scale miners continue to defy the 45-day moratorium on mining activities which the Department of Environment and Natural Resources enforced late last month at the new gold-rush site in Mt. De Oro in Maco, Compostela Valley. 


"They just won’t listen. The mining activities continue despite the stoppage order," said Marilou Jacinto, Southern Min—danao head of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB).

                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — It’s all hype. 


The report on the newly-discovered gold rush site in Mt. De Oro in Barangay Barile, Maco, Compostela Valley is more of a media hype than a mine of gold deposits that it was previously believed. 


More than 6,000 small scale miners have already flocked to the area since February this year when news of the gold mining site first broke out.


Stories of Mt. De Oro consistently coming out in the media prodded miners and financiers to stake their lot in the new gold rush site.

Gozun personally conveyed the order to the thousands of miners at the site in Barangay Barile during a visit the other day.


Environmental authorities fear that the wanton digging of tunnels and cutting of trees in Mt. De Oro might trigger landslides in the area.

                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Regional officials of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) fear that a disaster might befall the newly discovered gold mining site at Mt. De Oro in Maco, Compostela Valley with the influx of thousands of people there.


Carmelito Lupo, the OCD’s Southern Mindanao (Region 11) director, said more than 6,000 small-scale miners are now in the gold-rush site in Barangay Barile.
