Based on the report reflected in the compilation
of Philippine Metallic & Non-metallic Ore Research, Bureau of
Mines and Geosciences, Manila in 1981, the province contains vast
deposits of metallic and non-metallic minerals (Table 5-9). The
tapped mineral reserves are marble, clay, sand and gravel and gold.
The mining or tapping of these minerals are classified to small
