PRESS STATEMENT
Hallmark Mining Corporation
October 8, 2025

Hallmark Mining Corporation understands and shares the deep concern of the Provincial Government of Davao Oriental for the protection of our environment, especially the Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary — a symbol of life and pride for all Oriental Dabawenyos.

We want to assure everyone that we remain firmly committed to responsible mining.

Through our Environmental Protection and Enhancement Program (EPEP), we have put in place strong safeguards such as siltation ponds, collector sumps, and active monitoring by the Multi-Partite Monitoring Team, as well as nature-based solutions to nurture biodiversity and prevent harm to the surrounding ecosystems.

We also share the worries of more than 1,800 mine workers and around 3,000 more in related industries whose families depend on the continued operation of the mine.

Behind every job is a parent, a student, a dream. This is why Hallmark Mining continues to engage openly with local leaders and stakeholders — to protect both the environment and the livelihoods of our people.

Through our Social Development and Management Program (SDMP) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects, we help ensure access to education, healthcare, and basic community services that improve lives in our host barangays.
Hallmark Mining remains a proud partner of development, contributing hundreds of millions of pesos in taxes and fees that go back to the communities through local and national programs.
We believe that caring for the environment and supporting our people should go hand in hand.

Instead of division, let us find unity — through dialogue, cooperation, and shared responsibility — to keep Davao Oriental thriving, green, and full of life for generations to come. 📣
