Mining companies raided in Philippines
Three mining companies in the Philippines have been raided by over 200 heavily-armed communist rebels, Forbes.com is reporting. The rebels burned heavy equipment, disarmed guards and briefly held people, according to officials.
Tagnito Mining Corp. — owned by Nickel Asia Corp., the largest nickel producer in the Philippines — was forced to temporarily halt operations. But a statement by the presidential executive secretary said foreign and Filipino employees are safe and that the attack should be treated as “an isolated incident.”

Some say exploration is a high risk business/investment. Well, invest in some of these mines (mines not exploration) and you could get burned. Whenever/wherever there is some sort of low level insurgency going on the local govt would claim that everything is just fine – which most of the time is not the case.
In Philippines there are at least three types of jungle rebels: Commies/Maoists, some unhappy Muslims and ‘freedom fighters’. You pick which one you ‘d like to meet in the jungle … They’re not all over the place but restricted to some provinces/places. If you’re an exploration geologist inquire first and see/check out where they want to drop you from an helicopter and sign later if you still want the job.
