MANILA - The Department of Energy (DOE) has given Semirara Mining Corp the green light to prepare for the resumption of mining operations at the company's landslide-hit coal mine in Antique.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Semirara Mining said it received clearance from the DOE for preparatory activities at the North Panian area of the coal mine.
Semirara Mining however would have to get the DOE's nod for the company's safety and operational procedures.
Quoting the DOE, Semirara Mining said the clearance is "without prejudice to possible sanctions that may be imposed depending on the results of the on-going investigation on the West Wall rockslide incident and the search and recovery operations should continue.”
Semirara Mining's North Panian coal site was hit by a landslide on February 14, killing at least five workers.
Semirara Mining is owned by the Consunji Group, a local conglomerate which also has interests in construction, utilities, power generation and property development.
