Scattered in the breadth and depth of about one-third of the country's total land mass are minerals. Around fourteen million hectares of the total 30 million hectares of Philippine soil contain copious amounts of mineral reserves. Even the country's offshore areas covering about 2.2 million square kilometers contain minerals such as gold, magnetite and chromite-bearing sands, aggregate resources like sand and gravel, decorative stones, and polymetallic sulfide deposits.
