RE:Re:RE:manila times on didipio situation Some napkin math:
- Didipio produces "about" 120,000 annual gold ounces @$1900/oz, and the Philippine govt gets 60%...so Philippine's get about $136 million per year from OGC.
- Philippines economy is abour $340 billion in GDP.
- OGC is about half a percent of their countries GDP.
If my math is right (never my strongest subject ), the Didipio mine is fairly material to the Philippine economy.
Someone correct my math please.
