Apex Mining’s total revenue for the second quarter of 2022 reached PHP2.537 billion, 65% higher year over year (YoY). This pegs the resulting consolidated net income after tax of the company at PHP917.6 million, a 337% increase YoY.

“This consolidated quarter net income is an an all-time high for Apex Mining,” says Apex Mining’s president and CEO, Luis R. Sarmiento, ASEAN Eng. “We consistently look at maximizing revenue through increased production output and minimizing cost through prudent spending.”

Aside from earning big, the company also gave back in a big way with a P2M donation to the GMA Kapuso Foundation to build 2 classrooms in Baybayin Elementary School in Siargao Island (Surigao del Norte), following the devastation wrought by by Typhoon Odette in December 2021. The Kapuso Foundation and Apex Mining formalized their collaboration through a MOA signing in April of this year.

Sarmiento says supporting the classroom-building efforts of the Kapuso Foundation is a good way to bring Apex Mining’s spirit of malasakit outside of its tenements in Davao de Oro. “Apex Mining’s mission to promote the wellbeing of our stakeholders is not limited to our host communities and impact barangays,” says Sarmiento.

The second quarter also saw the company break ground for the construction of its accommodation facility for its employees in Barangay Nueva Visayas in Mawab (Davao de Oro). “Our employees are our greatest resource and we continue to prioritize their wellbeing. This new accommodation facility will provide better amenities for our hardworking miners.” Collaboration between the LGU and Apex Mining can also benefit the community of Barangay Nueva Visayas.
