Welcome to the website of Apex Mining Company, Inc (“Apex”). We’re a Philippines-based gold mining company and our main project is Maco Mine on Mindanao Island. Maco was formerly known as “Masara” but the name change was effected in recognition of the entire municipality where mining occurs rather than one particular village near the mine.

Apex has been operating for over 35 years but its management was taken over in late 2005 by a partnership between Crew Gold Corporation and Mapula Creek Gold Corporation Inc , a Philippines-owned mining company. In October 2009 the Crew Gold Corporation shareholding was purchased by a Malaysian based resource investment and development group. The mine is currently undergoing a full technical review.

The current annual production target for the operation is 25,000 to 30,000 ounces, with a forecast in 2010 to increase this figure by 50%. The next six months will see a significant focus on resource evaluation both in the current ore bodies and parallel structures, coupled with increased production from a range of areas.

We continue to investigate the optimum mining rate for the ore bodies and the viability of recovering both copper and zinc concentrates, should the copper and zinc prices recover.
