Australian miner re-endorses application for FTAA renewal to OP

In what seems like a desperate attempt to resume operations, Australian-Canadian miner Oceana Gold Philippines, Inc. (OceanaGold) has re-endorsed its application at the Office of the President (OP) for the renewal of its Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA).

This is almost more than a year since the firm’s FTAA for the Didipio underground gold and copper mine project in Nueva Vizcaya expired.

In a filing with Australian Stock Exchange, OceanaGold said that sometime in the second quarter of this year, “a working team created by the President [of the company] completed a review of the FTAA renewal, which included engagement with the Company, before re-endorsing the renewal to the Office of the President where it remains for a decision.”
