Marcventures said the merger with APMPC would allow it to gain control of AMPI and BARI, whose mineral resource is bauxite ore”•the main raw material of aluminum. 

“The merger will allow Marcventures to grow its business, diversify its products and expand its source of income. Bauxite has been observed to be more stable in prices as compared to other commodities even during the slump of metal prices,” the mining  company said.

Bauxite is a highly valued raw material used to produce aluminum alloys which are essential to industries like aerospace, transportation, construction and various manufacturing lines.

Meanwhile, BHI is the owner of BrightGreen Resources Corp., which holds MPSA covering 4,860 hectares in Carrascal and Cantilan, Surigao del Sur. 

The mining tenement is contiguous to the mining tenement of MHI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Marcventures Mining and Development Corp. 

Marcventure said the merger with BHI would enable it to increase the nickel reserves and pursue a possible venture into nickel processing.

Marcventures, through MMDC,  holds an MPSA covering an area of 4,799 hectares in Cantilan.  MMDC’s main product for the past three years is nickel ore.
