The Tampakan copper-gold deposit is a major high-sulfidation epithermal deposit superimposed on a pre-existing low- to moderate-grade porphyry copper system. It represents one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits in the South East Asia-western Pacific Region. The Tampakan project is located on the southern Philippines island of Mindanao, approximately 65 kilometers north of General Santos City. The current project is situated on the boundary of three Provinces – South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and Davao Del Sur. The Tampakan copper-gold deposit is located in the Province of South Cotabato, Municipality of Tampakan. Most of the project area covers generally accentuated topography, with the Tampakan deposit located on a NNE trending ridge at an elevation varying from 1,000-1,300 meters above sea level.
