Rusina Mining

Rusina Mining N.L. is an active mining exploration company that is focused on the emerging Philippine mining sector. The Company has defined a JORC compliant resource estimate for nickel laterites at its Acoje tenement on the island of Luzon and will commence mining operations in the second half of 2007. The Acoje property also hosts chromite, nickel sulphides and platinum group metals. Rusina is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, code RML and the London Stock Exchange (AIM) code RMLA.

Acoje Project - Philippines

The Acoje mine was one of the world's largest metallurgical chromite suppliers producing over 3.3 million tonnes of chromium concentrate from 1935 to 1991. Early in the mines history distinctive black dunite horizons were located several hundred metres east of the extensive and thick chromite zones. Sampling confirmed that the black dunite contained appreciable quantities of nickel sulphides, PGMs (platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and iridium), copper, gold, cobalt and chromite. High nickel prices in the late 1960's prompted surface and underground exploration, mine development and the establishment of a sulphide concentrate plant. Mining took place from 1971 to 1975 with nickel concentrate, containing platinum and palladium (Pt+Pd), sold to Japan for smelting.
