Current Operations:
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.

The Abogado Project was previously explored by Phelps Dodge for porphyry copper and gold from 1998 to 2000 after which they withdrew from the Philippines for various reasons. The property became available for filing in late 2006, in which Rusina successfully pegged this property.
