Three Philippine government agencies have joined forces to start collaborative efforts with European laboratories in drafting a study to determine the most suitable iron-making technology for the value-adding of the country¡¯s magnetite resources. A technical team composed of representatives from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, Metals Industry Research and Development Center and Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development recently conducted site visits in the laboratory testing facilities in Frankfurt, Germany; and Leoben, Austria.
MGB said in a statement that ¡°The visit was part of the initial phase of the feasibility study to identify, select and establish a technology suitable for iron making using the country¡¯s indigenous mineral resources, particularly black sand, to produce iron and steel.¡±
Officials from these agencies went to the Outotec Frankfurt Research Center, Aufbereitung, Recycling, Pr¨¹ftechnik GmbH (Institute for Beneficiation, Recycling and Metallurgy) in Leoben; and Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria¡¯s University for Mining, Metallurgy and Materials.
During the visit, the team was able to observe high-quality research facilities and practices dedicated to iron and steel making.
It has also created a linkage among the Philippine and international experts for future researches and further collaboration to promote the iron and steel industry.
Prior to the team¡¯s visit, about 135 kilogram (kg) of magnetite concentrate produced by MGB-MetD and 60 kg local coal were forwarded to the international laboratories for characterization and testing.
Just last year, MGB forged a Memorandum of Agreement with MIRDC to conduct a study for the development of the country¡¯s iron and steel industry.
It focuses on the local production of iron using available indigenous mineral resources and reductants, and integrating those with the existing steel-making infrastructure.
Meanwhile, MGB has recently proposed to rationalize the requirements for the different types of mining applications following the directive of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to all government agencies to reduce the number of requirements for permit application.
The streamlining applies to applications for Exploration Permit (EP), Mineral Production Sharing Agreement , Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (DMPF), Mineral Processing Permit, Industrial Sand and Gravel Permit (ISGP), Operating Agreement and Deed of Assignment for MPSA (DOA).
