Infrastructure Outside the Mine Site The proposed mining operation would also incorporate other infrastructure outside the mine site. This would include the following:

• A coal fired power station
• A filter plant
• A port to transport the copper-gold concentrate to international customers and to import coal
• A copper-gold concentrate pipeline from the mines site to the port
• Power transmission lines from the power station to the mine site

The power station, filter plant and the port are proposed to be built in Malalag, Davao del Sur.

Separate environmental impact assessment studies for related off-site infrastructure, including a port facility, power station, transmission lines and concentrate pipeline, are currently underway and are expected to be completed in 2012.
