Small-scale mining provide sources of income
for many people
in the Communities along the mineralized zones of Zambales Province. Most of the people here enjoy a modicum of experience in traditional small-scale methods such as the so-called “camote” mining and adit mining as practiced in the gold-rich Benguet mineral areas. It is a source of livelihood and income for the community folks who are also into farming production as a second income center. By virtue of Governments’ “small-scale mining program” that was enacted into Law – this established the system within which coverage of the small scale miners are now formalized in a program and this have provided a well defined course of action to further develop this industry to serve the host- Communities and also increase the income potential of the Local Government. This law has helped the development of rich mining communities such as those found at Zambales, specifically in the Towns of Candelaria, Masinloc, Sta Cruz and other southern towns. In the Town of Candelaria alone where new Mining group under Intertech – have began what could be a pilot-development program for the eventual development of small-scale mining programs alongside with the development of the environment and inclusive of the economic upliftment of the stakeholders. It is thus important to create the best working conditions for small-scale miners.
Small-scale mining under Intertechs’ co-development program with CCMCI shall integrate agro-agri development within the applied areas be carried out as a sustainable activity in accordance with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) of the Philippine Government.

| "corporatization" |
To improve small-scale mining thru cooperative
activity:
Upon organization of a cooperative group between and among the community folks the system of “corporatization” shall be institutionalized in as much as this covers the issues on surface land ownership and right of way. In Intertech experience, we have decided to improve on the “bayanihan” spirit of neighborliness and sharing of benefits such as “income share” from the business operations of the mining establishment. Then the members of the Cooperative Group such as CCMCI become stakeholders in the business thereby giving substance to the corporate participation of the Community folks. A new order herein transforms the whole meaning of cooperation among the Company and the Community that ensures therein further developmental strides to be undertaken all under a DENR program to mitigate the concerns of the forestal and the environs.

Intertechs’ agro-agri
Program:
This program shall introduce a variety of action that are mainly
focused on reforestation and agricultural productivity intervention. Both
ensure that the commitment to DENR shall be fully implemented within the
contract period of 10 years and renewable. The Company shall establish
area-wide seedling centers for trees that can grow fast in the Philippines and
at the same time introduce other fruit bearing trees and farm products that
shall provide additional income for the host-community including its
neighboring Towns.
This shall become Intertechs' developmental credo . . BIB
