Why These Areas Contain Natural Gold
Ang Pilipinas ay isa sa tinatawag na “Pacific Ring of Fire,” kaya ang geolohiya nito ay mayaman sa:
- Volcanic rocks
- Hydrothermal systems
- Mineralized faults
- Quartz veins
Ang mga natural processes na ito ang dahilan kung bakit nananatili tayong gold-rich hanggang ngayon.
Reminder
Kung plano mong magmina o mag-explore, siguraduhing sumusunod sa Philippine mining laws at kumuha ng tamang permits.
Treasure hunting and gold exploration becomes easier when you know where to search.
