Part I – BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Item 1. BUSINESS
Corporate Information and Business Development
Apex Mining Co., Inc. (the “Parent Company”) was incorporated and registered with the
Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 1970 under the name
Apex Exploration & Mining Company until 1978 when this was changed to its present name,
Apex Mining Co., Inc.
The Parent Company was incorporated primarily to carry on the business of mining, milling,
concentrating, converting, smelting, treating, preparing for market, manufacturing, buying,
selling, exchanging and otherwise producing and dealing in gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc
brass, iron, steel and all kinds of ores, metals and minerals.
The Parent Company currently operates the Maco Mines in Maco, Davao de Oro, Philippines.
Its registered business and principal office address is 3304B West Tower, Tektite Towers,
Exchange Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, Philippines.
On March 7, 1974, the Parent Company listed its shares in the Philippine Stock Exchange
(PSE).
In 1991, the Parent Company ceased operation of the Maco mine due to the prolonged
depressed gold price.
In 2005, Crew Gold Corporation (Crew Gold), a Canadian company, and its associated
Philippine company, Mapula Creek Gold Corporation (Mapula), acquired 28% and 45% of
the Parent Company’s shares, respectively, from the Puyat group. In 2006, Crew Gold
organized Teresa Crew Gold Philippines, Inc. (Teresa) as a subsidiary to support the
rehabilitation of the Parent Company’s mining properties and the refurbishing of the Maco
mine’s processing plant.
In January 2009, Teresa commenced operations of the Maco mine. In October 2009, Crew
Gold sold its holdings in Teresa and Mapula to Mindanao Gold Ltd. (Mindanao Gold), a
special purpose company owned by Abracadabra Speculative Ventures, Inc. (ASVI) of
Malaysia.
In November 2011, Monte Oro Resources & Energy, Inc. (MORE), a Philippine company,
acquired an initial 5% ownership in the Parent Company, the proceeds of which were used
for capital expenditures for the existing mine and mill, and for exploration drilling program
of the Maco mine properties. In December 2011, the Philippine Securities & Exchange
Commission approved the merger of Teresa and the Parent Company, with the Parent
Company as the surviving entity effective on January 1, 2012.
In October 2013, MORE management was voted to take over management of the operation of
the Parent Company by the stockholders. In April 2014, MORE acquired substantial
ownership in the Parent Company held by Mapula. At this point, MORE became the
significant shareholder, controlling 46.5% of the Parent Company.
-1-
In October 2014, the Parent Company acquired 100% ownership of MORE, and Prime
Strategic Holdings, Inc. (PSHI) and other MORE shareholders used the proceeds of the sale
of their shares in MORE to subscribe to new shares in the Parent Company and in the process
acquire control of the Parent Company, diluting to a small minority the shareholdings of
Mindanao Gold and Mapula.
In March 2022, PSHI completed a mandatory tender offer after acquiring the controlling
interest of Devoncourt Estates, Inc. and Lakeland Village Holdings, Inc. (collectively holding
14.43% shares of the Parent Company) and bringing its total direct and indirect shareholdings
with the Parent Company to 54.75%.
In April 2024, PSHI and Mindanao Gold completed a special block sale transaction through
the PSE, increasing PHSI’s total direct and indirect shareholdings in the Parent Company to
63.85%. Subsequently, in March 2025, PSHI acquired additional shares of the Parent
Company, further increasing its total shareholdings to 64.62%.
In December 2025, PSHI completed the acquisition of ownership and control offshore of
Mindanao Gold, which holds 30,224,308 unlisted shares of the Parent Company. As a result,
PSHI’s total direct and indirect shareholdings in the Company increased to 65.11%.
Itogon-Suyoc Resources, Inc.
In June 2015, the Parent Company acquired 98% of the shares of Itogon-Suyoc Resources,
Inc. (ISRI), a Philippine mining company. The Parent Company acquired the remaining 2%
of ISRI in August 2016.
Asia-Alliance Mining Resources Corp.
In February 2023, the Parent Company acquired Asia Alliance Mining Resources
Corporation (AAMRC), a mining company which has interests, by virtue of a Notice of
Award issued by the Philippine Mining Development Corporation (PMDC) as the highest
bidder for the Joint Operating Agreement over copper mines and mining claims covering
20,237 hectares, situated in the Municipalities of Mabini, Maco and Maragusan, Davao de
Oro covered by the North Davao Mining Corporation application FTAA-XI-14. AAMRC
signed a joint operating agreement with PMDC for such tenement. Based on the Area Status
and Clearance dated 10 February 2022 issued by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources Region XI, the mining claims area has been amended to 19,135.12 hectares.
Business of Issuer
Products
The Parent Company’s Maco mine and ISRI’s Sangilo mine produce bullions containing gold
and silver. All of the production of both mines are sold to Heraeus Ltd. in Hong Kong.
Competition
Competition among mining companies is nonexistent as each mining company operates in its
own individual areas or tenements granted to them by the Philippine government. The
competition is in obtaining a mining license, such as Mineral Production Sharing Agreement
(MPSA) from the government. A mining company with no MPSA, mining patents or other
forms of tenement will not be able to operate.
