KEY TAKEAWAYS

Dealing with indigenous communities can be challenging, but also very rewarding. Experience in this field gives you a definite benefit in terms of strategy.
Running the day-to-day operations can be extremely challenging, and requires devotion to the job. You have to make sacrifices and compromise, but the results speak for themselves.
The investment climate was very quiet during the pandemic, but things are picking up now, substantially. The Philippine government suffered economic impact and now see mining as a way of bouncing back, financially.
