In the northeastern tip of Mindanao lies one of the most significant industrial undertakings in the country: the Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation (THPAL). Nestled in the town of Claver, Surigao del Norte, THPAL stands as a beacon of industrial progress and a testament to the Philippines’ growing role in the global supply chain of critical metals, particularly nickel and cobalt. These materials are crucial not only for traditional industries like stainless steel manufacturing but also for the rapidly growing industries of electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. The establishment and completion of a High-Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) facility in 2013 represented a pivotal advancement for the Philippine minerals sector, enhancing the nation's role in the international nickel supply chain, which was a superb strategic initiative. Conventional methods for nickel extraction faced challenges when dealing with low-grade lateritic ores, which are abundant in the Philippines yet contained minimal nickel concentrations. Despite its high capital requirements and technological intricacies, the HPAL process facilitates the effective recovery of nickel and cobalt from these ores and years following its initial operation, another by-products were produced by the company thus increasing the potential uses of minerals in numerous high-tech and industrial applications. Scandium, a rare earth element, is becoming more important because of its special qualities that boost the performance of different materials. While, Chromite mineral, an oxide of chromium and iron, serves as the principal source of chromium, a vital component in the manufacturing of stainless steel. The company isn’t just another mineral development project doing business in the country that contributes to both the local and national economy. THPAL is also a major trailblazer in social development, environmental protection, and work safety culture while, it plays a crucial role in related industries, like logistics, transportation, maintenance and food services, among others, creating various jobs for more than 4,000 locals. As the world’s demand shifts towards sustainability, the need for nickel and its by-products is anticipated to increase remarkably though this scenario offers both challenges and opportunities for THPAL. However, the company has positioned itself to take advantage of this rising demand, especially from the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries. THPAL is poised to lead in this vital sector, adeptly managing the challenges while capitalizing on the forthcoming opportunities. It exemplifies how innovative technology optimizes the utilization of the minerals, as envisioned in the Philippine Mining Act, can enhance the viability of low-grade ores, thereby supporting the worldwide supply of these essential metals.

Part 2 A group of all-Filipino mining engineers under the support of project subcontractor Paramina Earth Technologies, Inc. (PARAMINA) were greatly involved in the success of the Upper Wawa Pumping Station Water Access Tunnel project. These mining engineers developed and excavated an 8m wide x 7m high x 1,011m long tunnel with the highest considerations for safety, without a single lost time accident (LTA) accident and or rockfall incident. The project applied the New Austrian Tunneling Method following international tunnel design, plans and was remarkably ahead of the adjusted timeline upon its completion. Part 1 of this article introduced the technical aspects and purpose of the project. In Part 2, we discuss the people involved, the challenges encountered, the innovations applied, and milestones achieved. Part 1 can be viewed here: https://www.philippine-resources.com/articles/2024/8/a-technical-overview-of-a-water-access-tunnel-construction-built-by-filipino-mining-engineers  Project Owner and Consultant The mega-infrastructure “Wawa Bulk Water Project” (herein referred in our article simply as the Wawa Dam Project) is owned by WAWAJvCo Inc, a joint venture initiative between Prime Infrastructure Capital Inc and the San Lorenzo Ruiz Builders and Developers Group, the owner of the water rights in the area. WAWAJvCO engaged the services of AFRY as its advisor, an international leader in engineering and design. Project Main Contractor/Consultant A crucial component of the Wawa Dam project namely, the “Upper Wawa Pumping Station (UWPS)” Project was awarded to Prime Metro BMD Corporation (PrimeBMD), a subsidiary of Prime Infra in joint venture with BMD, one of the biggest privately owned contractors based in Australia. To ensure its successful execution, Lombardi Engineering, a Swiss multidisciplinary engineering firm specializing in underground and water infrastructure was engaged as the project’s designer and advisor by the contractor. Project Tunneling Subcontractor Following a comprehensive review of several bid submissions and site visits to assess the various bidders’ facilities, shop, equipment and technical expertise, the contractor selected PARAMINA as the subcontractor for the tunnel excavation of the UWPS project. Additionally, Paramina was entrusted with the Slope Stabilization Works, done prior to the actual tunnel excavation, that established a durable, all weather slope protection for the East and West Portal and the main access road, designed to last for a century. Project Management Team The senior project management, headed by a team of dedicated mining engineers with previous experience in tunneling, was instrumental to the success and punctual completion of the UWPS Main Access Water Tunnel Project without any Lost Time Accident. [2G1] Their leadership and expertise were key to the project’s remarkable safety record. Backing the senior management was another team of junior mining engineers who played a pivotal role in project initiation and completion. Additionally, mechanical and electrical engineers and technicians were integral to the equipment maintenance and operational support. They were at the heart of the tunnel operations, working round the clock to oversee shift activities. Work was 24/7, regardless of holidays and weekends. Their leadership ensured safe and efficient supervision of the skilled miners, mechanics, and electricians, and operations of a wide array of underground mining machinery and equipment. First things First- UWPS East Slope Stabilization Prior to the actual tunnel portal excavation, a team was formed to stabilize the slope above the east portal on March 14, 2022.  Another team was formed to erect the temporary facilities, offices, equipment workshop and the construction of explosives magazines in preparation for the blasting works in the Tunnel. The Notice of Award and Notice to Proceed on the Slope Protection Works at the East Slope was received the following day on March 15, 2022 with a target completion date of May 30, 2022. There was also a slight setback due to contractor’s delay in excavating original natural ground profile down to its designed slope batter and benching, thus resulting in late handover of the East Portal’s designed floor elevation of 144masl, to the Subcontractor for it to start the installation of the tunnel umbrella using SDAs. Start of Portal Excavation On September 27, 2022, the project reached a significant milestone with the commencement of drilling and setting up the portal umbrella. This involved the installation of Self Drilling Anchors (SDAs) measuring R38mm x 6m in length, arranged in two rows, each spaced 200 mm from the outer edge of the Tunnel Portal’s designed crown. The installation process entailed alternate drilling and grouting of the SDAs until all 131 units were securely in place. These SDAs were drilled directly into their positions and grouted to serve as forepole support, enhancing the stability of the rock mass at the tunnel’s crown during portal construction. Following the geologists’ assessment that the rock mass rating at the portal ranged from 0-20 RMR, Lombardi’s recommendation was to proceed with excavation but using the breaker tool of an excavator, advancing in increments of 0.6m prohibiting the use of drilling and blasting. This approach allowed for the installation of SRS completion of the full-face excavation; the application of 400-mm thick shotcrete on the crown and sides of the tunnel portal, along with a 50-mm thick layer of shotcrete on the tunnel face, providing a temporary protective layer of support for miners while working in proximity to the unsupported face.[2G2]  Innovations to the design introduced by Paramina The initial design for the east portal “umbrella” tunnel crown support by Lombardi included the driving of 150mm diameter micro piles and up to lengths of up to 12m, intended to be drilled around the tunnel crown’s perimeter. While this system was accessible in other regional markets, including the Philippines, the local micropiling contractors were only equipped for vertical micro pile equipment installations therefore lacking the capability for horizontal applications. Consequently, PARAMINA proposed to the Main Contractor’s Project Manager, Technical Director and to Lombardi the substitution of the micro piles to self-drilling anchor rock bolts.  This switch to SDAs expedited the process and proved to be more cost-effective than the original micropile design. The SDAs were likewise recommended as the preferred rock bolts for support types 2, 3, and 4, more especially because of its simple and easy installation. The process of “drilling, pulling out the drill rod, and inserting a rock bolt” was eliminated and streamlined into a single step, thereby improving overall tunneling cycle time. In addition, the original plan included the installation of “Fiberglass Bolts” for temporary face support which was both costly and time consuming. PARAMINA suggested the application of quick-setting shotcrete to reinforce the tunnel face. Tunneling Challenges One significant hurdle in the project was the insufficient geological data along the entire length of the proposed tunnel, attributed to the limited diamond drilling done by the project owners. Only five drill holes were done throughout the whole 1,011m tunnel length which was conducted during the project’s pre-feasibility study. Consequently, Lombardi deemed had a low confidence in the quality of geological information. To manage this risk, PARAMINA adopted a timely approach of ordering tunnel supplies, particularly imported rock bolts, to avoid any surplus at the completion of the project. Additional challenges included frequent hiccups in shotcrete mix deliveries by the contractor, impacting the shotcreting cycle. PARAMINA responded by deploying its own transit mixer trucks to expedite timely delivery and availability of the shotcrete mix. Another issue was the scarcity of clean drilling water leading to complications such as fouling of the jumbo drill’s rock drill, delays in drilling and shotcreting, and blockages of shotcrete machine slicklines which were addressed by sourcing water from nearby natural springs and groundwater inflow from drain pipes installed along the tunnel’s walls and crown. The most daunting obstacle was the low availability of the Normet robotic shotcrete machine and the Sandvik Axera T08 Twin Boom Jumbo drill rig, which frequently paralyzed the tunnel work cycle. Faced with little alternatives, PARAMINA procured new machinery: a state-of-the-art XCMG Robotic Shotcrete Machine with a capacity of 30-50 cubic meters of shotcrete per hour and two units of the Furukawa FDR Twin Boom Jumbo Drill rig with man boom basket. Tunnel Development, Milestone Break Through, and Handover With the East Portal stabilized and fully installed with SRS, rock bolts and shotcrete, the real tunneling work began with drilling and full face blasting on the 22nd of December 2022. This marked the first day of the 290-day development timeline set for the tunnel to hole out the 1,011 meters with an average of 3.5m of tunnel advance per day. The anticipated breakthrough date was October 7, 2023, with an additional eleven days allocated for post-tunnel remediation works. The much-awaited milestone, the tunnel breakthrough, occurred a month ahead of schedule on September 5, 2023. Finishing touches were applied, and the extended 1.011-km tunnel was officially handed over to the contractor on October 15, 2023, for final joint inspection. Safety, Health, and Environment PARAMINA recognized the importance of safety, health and the well-being of its employees and the protection of the environment, adhered to the strictest standards of Safety, Health, and Environment in the project.  Different degrees of job hazards were identified in the project’s scopes, such as slope stabilization works at the newly excavated road cuts to make way to the tunnel and excavation of the Upper Wawa Main Access Tunnel. In recognition of the impressive feat that was the project completion with no loss time accident (LTA), the President of WawaJVCo acknowledged the contribution of PARAMINA and its dedication to safety and environmental stewardship last July 27, 2023 during the milestone celebration of the project’s “One Million Safe Manhours with incidents as attested by DOLE Regional Officials on the same occasion. Some of the environmental initiatives contributed by PARAMINA to the project included the provision of complete Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE), daily toolbox meetings and the construction of settling ponds outside of the portal of the main access tunnel to ensure that solid or liquid pollutants are effectively separated and disposed of properly, to name a few. PARAMINA also championed the recycling of scrap metal, hoses, lumber, and the like and ensured that garbage was always properly disposed of at the designated disposal sites. Moreover, to control noise and vibration from blasting works, the use of Long Period delay detonators ensured that the maximum instantaneous charge (MIC) firing at any one time were controlled below the industry accepted vibration and decibel limits. Remediation and Hand Over of Tunnel Project Guided by the main contractor, PARAMINA’s emphasis was on three key remediation tasks: addressing the “drummy” sections in the shotcrete lining, performing rock bolt “pull-out” tests and the execution of “in-fill” grouting within the Support Type P section of the tunnel. The first one was done by breaking open the shotcrete lining identified by the Contractor’s QA/QC team, with an Excavator fitted with a moil point and then reapplying shotcrete to the designed thickness. The second remediation task involved performing pull-out tests on 10% of all the installed Rockbolt anchor supports along the tunnel’s full length.  It is worth mentioning that each rock bolt tested passed the required standards successfully. Lastly, to address the inevitable voids left in-between the rock face and the SRS, in-fill grouting was carried out by the ChemGrout CG-542 Electro-Hydraulic grout pump, particularly along the section of the tunnel supported by Steel Rib Supports (SRS). With the remediation tasks fully addressed and following another exhaustive and detailed joint inspection and review of the Subcontractor’s workmanship quality, the milestone final approval was formally acknowledged by the Contractor with the issuance of the Certificate of Project Completion. Acknowledgments The project’s success depended on the valuable cooperation among key stakeholders, especially the project owner, WawaJvCo and its project representative, Mr. Rey Bodano, the contractor’s project team, Prime Metro BMD, the Project Consultants and Designers, Lombardi and Afry, the Local Government Unit of Calawis and Sitio Apia, Antipolo, the Firearms and Explosives Office, Provincial and Regional Police Offices of Region 4A, Key Suppliers of Machinery, Equipment, Consumables, Explosives and the locals of Sitio Apia and affected Indigenous People of Antipolo City and finally the Paramina Management, Project Management Team, Supervisors and the men and women of the Paramina Project Team.

London-based investment house Actis formalized its USD600 million investments in the Philippines for the development of the country’s largest single-site solar power project. Manila Electric Corp. (Meralco) and SP New Energy Corp (SPNEC) signed an agreement with Actis at Meralco’s headquarters in Pasig City Friday for the Terra Solar project, the largest of its kind in the Philippines and in the world. “From Actis' side, we're very honored and excited to invest USD600 million into that, which I believe is the largest FDI (foreign direct investment) into the greenfield infrastructure here in the Philippines,” Actis chair and senior partner Torbjorn Caesar said. The Terra Solar is a 3,500-megawatt solar power project with a 4,500-MW (megawatt) hour battery energy storage system. The project was recently awarded by the Board of Investments (BOI) with a certificate of green lane endorsement to expedite all permits and licenses related to the project. Meralco PowerGen Corporation president and chief executive officer Emmanuel Rubio said Actis’ investments support the government’s aspiration for a more sustainable energy sector. “We expect our strategic partnership will not only put Philippines in the global spotlight, it will also thrust one Meralco into the international stage as a leader in the renewable energy space to its ownership of the world's largest hybrid solar project, which is poised to power more than 2.4 million households in the Philippines, and displace 4 million tons of carbon dioxide every year,” Rubio said. 

“A symbol of excellence, a source of motivation, of surpassing oneself and of ultimate achievement, medals are much more than objects: they represent the apotheosis in the career of elite athletes.” (Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024) The Paris 2024 Olympics or 2024 Summer Olympics, which started from July 26 and ended in August 11, brought together around 10,714 athletes from 204 countries (including AIN and Refugee Team) who competed in 329 medal events. As a measure of an athlete’s achievement, human spirit, and endurance, the Olympic medal has its historical and material value.  An Olympic medal is traditionally representing an athlete’s victory and glory that reflects back to one’s home country. It is primarily a symbol of the Olympic spirit rooted on tradition and history from the first Olympic Games in 776 BC at Olympia in Greece, and more formally from Athens 1896 Olympics -- the first international Olympic games held in modern history. But is there really gold in the Olympic gold medal? Moreover, what is the metallic composition of the silver and bronze medals? And overall, what is the monetary worth of these medals, particularly the gold medal? On February 8, 2024, The Paris Organising Committee for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games (POCOG) unveiled to the public the medal design for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In designing the medals, members of the Paris 2024 athletes’ commission worked with the renowned Parisian jewelers Chaumet. The manufacturing of the medals is undertaken by the Monnaie de Paris; the world's longest continuously running mint. What makes the Paris 2024 Olympics medal unique is that a fragment of the Eiffel Tower is placed at the center of the medal. “For the first time in the history of the Games, each Olympic and Paralympic medal is adorned with a highly symbolic and priceless piece of metal: the original iron from the Eiffel Tower,” according to the media release of the Paris 2024 Organising Committee.    “Erected to amaze the world at the 1889 Universal Exhibition, the Eiffel Tower is made entirely of a special type of iron known as ‘puddle’ iron. Manufactured in the forges and blast furnaces of Pompey in Lorraine, the cast iron produced by reducing iron ore is refined by an operation called ‘puddling’. By removing the excess carbon still present in the cast iron, the resulting iron is almost pure and extremely strong.” The structure of the Eiffel Tower had undergone renovation work during the twentieth century. During the renovation, metallic elements were removed from the Dame de fer and have been carefully preserved ever since. During the construction of the Eiffel Tower for the 1889 Universal Exhibition, the material of choice for the structure is cast iron. However, as part of the tower’s upkeep, much of the cast iron used was replaced over the twentieth century. These materials were preserved by the operators; the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games provided an opportunity to give the material a new purpose – to be incorporated in the design and composition of the Olympic medals. “For the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel is giving these veritable pieces of the history of Paris and France a second lease of life.” The traditional Olympic medals do not contain iron. Therefore, the additional iron from the metal fragment of the Eiffel Tower for this year’s Olympic medals is a unique feature. The Eiffel Tower is a cultural icon of France, and one of the most recognised architectural marvels of the modern world. Throughout history, France has been known for their innovation in science, technology, art, music, and more. Breaking away from the traditional Olympic medal, they wish the give the victorious athletes a special part of the French culture and history to bring home with them to their home country. “By placing fragments of the Eiffel Tower at the center of its medals, Paris 2024 hopes to leave athletes with an unforgettable memory of the Games, of Paris and of France.” According to the official Paris Olympic website, this addition (of iron) not only enhances the medals’ historical and cultural significance, but also connects them to the rich heritage of France and Paris. [2]  The inclusion of this unique material adds an extra layer of prestige to the 2024 Olympic medals, the website said. The medal for the Paris 2024 Olympics has a diameter of 86mm, thickness of 92mm, and 18g Eifel Tower Insert. In terms of weight, the gold medal weighs 529g, the silver medal is 525g, and the bronze medal is 455g. To determine its material value of the gold medal, the 529g of metal is composed of more than 95% silver (505g), and just 6g of gold for plating, plus 18g of iron from the metal fragment of the Eiffel Tower.  Therefore, according to a report in Forbes, the gold medal for the Paris 2024 Olympics is worth approximately $950. In summary, the gold medal is made of silver plus a thin plating of gold. A silver medal is made of silver, while the bronze medal contains copper, tin, and zinc. These medals are made in accordance to the specifications of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and in consultation with the National Olympic Committee of the host nation. More on the medal’s craftsmanship, the iron retains the original shape of a hexagon as in the original Eiffel Tower. They have been encased on the observe side of the medals in the centre with six appendages. [2] Looking at the medal’s front design, the cast iron is reforged in hexagonal ingots that sit at the center of the medal. The shape is a geometric representation of France; a country that also goes by the nickname, L'Hexagone. The hexagon is also embossed with the games' emblem. French people often refer to Metropolitan France as L'Hexagone  or The "Hexagon", because of the geometric shape of its territory. “At the six corners of the ingot sit hobnail-like embossing in the 'Clous de Paris' style, chosen for its resemblance to the rivets used in the Eiffel Tower. The hexagon is cut to appear as if it is held within the medal with a ‘claw setting’, a common method of setting gems in jewelry by Chaumet.” [1] The reverse side of the Olympic medal: The Greek goddess of victory Athena Nike with the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens on the background. One feature unique to the Paris 2024 medal is the inclusion of the Eiffel Tower, opposite the Acropolis.   Looking at the artwork on the reverse side of the Olympic medal, it follows the standard for Summer Olympic Games medals with the Greek goddess of victory Athena Nike against the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens. This is a commemoration of the origin of the modern Olympic Games in 1896. The design also includes the Olympic Rings and the text 'JEUX DE LA XXXIIIe OLYMPIADE - PARIS 2024' set in the Paris 2024 custom font. [3] Another unique and non-traditional feature of this medal is the inclusion of the Eiffel Tower, opposite the Acropolis. [3] In closing, Outlook Business website commented, “An Olympic medal can never be measured in purely monetary value. Though the amount of gold in an Olympic gold medal could be modest in terms of material value, the prestige they carry far outweigh their intrinsic worth. And like every Olympic Games, this year's medals will also remain a unique piece of heritage in the rich history of the Summer Olympic Games.”   References and Photo credits: [1] medal’s design - https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Paris_2024/Medals?file=Paris2024Oly_MedalsObverse.png Carlo Yulo’s photo - https://www.kollectivehustle.com/blog/10-key-moments-that-brought-carlos-yulo [2] Outlook Money (Aug. 7, 2024).
