The Taganito mine operated by Taganito Mining Corporation (TMC).
Laterite nickel ores are a surface formation deposit which is found in hot and wet tropical areas which is enriched in iron and aluminum and develops by intensive and long lasting weathering of the underlying parent rock. Nearly all kinds of rocks can be disintegrated by the action of high rainfall and high temperatures. The dripping rain water causes suspension of primary rock minerals and decreases easily soluble elements as sodium, potassium, calcium, and silicon. This gives rise to a residual concentration of more insoluble elements predominantly iron, aluminum and nickel.
