Semirara Mining and Power Corp. (SMPC) said it remains on track to finish rehabilitating the southern part of Panian pit in Antique by June 2019.
The Consunji-led integrated energy company said in a statement that it has already filled South Panian with 62.7 million bank cubic meters (BCM) of overburden materials as of end-June, comprising more than half its year-end target of 120 million BCM.
“The company is on track in terms of the progress of the southern part of Panian pit’s rehabilitation. Given our pace, we expect to finish filling up South Panian in June next year, and then we can proceed with preparing the soil for plants and trees,” SMPC President and Chief Operating Officer Victor A. Consunji was quoted as saying in a statement. — Arra B. Francia
