GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT Prepared by NOEL ARIEL C. CRUZ Consulting Geologist GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT of the MINERAL AGGREGATE DEPOSITS OF JUAN ANGELES PROPERTY Barangay Pinagsanhan, Maragondon, Cavite Prepared by NOEL ARIEL C. CRUZ Consulting Geologist GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT OF THE MINERAL AGGREGATES DEPOSITS OF JUAN ANGELES PROPERTY LOCATED IN BARANGAY PINAGSANHAN, MARAGONDON, CAVITE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Mineral aggregates constitute the major raw material in the country building and construction industries. They are characterized by their high bulk and low unit value so that the economic value of a deposit is a function of its proximity to a market area as well as its quality and size A geological investigation and verification was conducted at the Juan Angeles Property where mineral aggregate deposit is believed to exist. The undersigned was commissioned by Mr. Ben Ong to carry out such an undertaking. The main objectives of this undertaking are to investigate the geologic features in the area such as lithology and their physical properties; to determine the existence of the mineral deposit, the trend, dimension and extent of the deposit in the area; and to determine the probable mineral resource of the deposit. 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 21 Description of the Study Area The study area is actually made up of fourteen (14) parcels of lots designated as Lots 1890-A to N (Figure 1) and when combined, will form a homogenous irregularly shaped area and covers an aggregate area of about 512,139 sq. m. Geological Investigation Report of the ‘Mineral Aggregates Deposits of Juan Angeles Property, Barangay Pinagsanhan, Maragondon, Cavite 2.2 Location and Accessibility The lot property is situated under the jurisdiction of Barangay Pinagsanhan, Municipality of Maragondon, Province of Cavite. it is located approximately 2.4 aerial kilometers southwest of the municipality of Maragondon and approximately 1.3 aerial kilometers southwest of the town of Ternate (Figures 2 and 2). It is approximately bounded by the geographic coordinates of four (4) selected comers below: Table 1 - Geographic coordinates that bound the study area [STA LATITUDE LONGITUDE | “Ot 14°15'52.95" 120°42'32.54" 02 14°16'23.92" 120°42'38.74" [03 14°1555.17 | 120°42'17.67" 04 14°15'58.06" 120°42'02 68" The site is accessible by any kind of land transportation via south- bound national roads from Metro Manila to the town of Maragondon. From Maragondon town, barangay roads and foottrails can be utilized to reach the interior of the study area. For regular comniuters, there are also available bus that bound for Maragondon at the Lawton or Liwasang Bonifacio area. 2.3 Geomorphology Regionally, the municipality of Maragondon is characterized by a mixed topographic feature as dictated by the controlling geologic structures present in the area. Those areas located at the east of Maragondon is characterized by a relatively flat topography while those on the westem side are considered as moderate to gently sloping dissected by deep and narrow valleys. Comb shaped embayments characterizes the western side facing the Manila Bay. Several prominent peaks make up the Cavite-Batangas Highland, namely Dos Picos (414 m), Pico de Loro (648 m), Mt. Naligang (441 m), Mt. Geological Investigation Report of the Mineral Aggregates Deposits of an Angeles Property, Barangay Pinagsanhan, Maragondon, Cavite Mataas na Gulod (622 m), Mt. Nasugbu (289 m), and Mt. San Pedrino (360 m). The surface water in the area is controlled by closely spaced creeks that join the main Maragondon River to the northeast. The drainage system in the area assumed a parallel to dendritic drainage pattern. 2.4 Climate and Vegetation The province of Cavite belongs to Type | class under the Modified Coronas Classification of the Philippine Climate System (Figure 4). It is characterized by a pronounced dry season starting December to the early part of May, and wet season for the rest of the year. Based on the 20-year period (1981 to 2010) climatoiogic data taken at the PAGASA Synoptic Station at Sangley Point, Cavite (Table 2), highest average monthly rainfall under Type 1 was recorded within the month of August (457.2 mm.). Wettest months are from May to November with rainfall mean values ranging from 139.1 mm. 40. 457.2 mm. The annual mean rainfall is pegged at 2,078.40 mm. January is the coldest month with a mean temperature of 26.6°C while April and May are the warmest with a mean temperature of more than 30.1°C. Records of maximum daily rainfall amounts can be attributed to the seasonal typhoons (coincident with southwest monsoon) that regularly enter the country. Data available from PAGASA indicate that an average of 16 tropical cyclones (tropical depressions, storms or typhoons) per year affected weather conditions at various regions of the Philippines.

Field methods included the examination of natural and man-made exposures of granular material. Observations 4 gravel- and sand-sized materials in the deposit. Observe and lithology of the particles were also made. These characteristics are estimating the quality and quantity of the agaregate. in areas of lit ‘subsurface materials may be assessed by test pitting. Representative these deposits were evaluated by taking clast samples from existing pit faces. test pits. The samples were tested for grain size distribution, impact test eat petrographic analyses were carried out. Analyses were performed in the laboratories of the ARS Testing and Inspection, Inc. and PETROLAB of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau. Information concerning the development history of the pit and acceptable uses of the aggregate was also recorded. Aerial photographs at various: scales were used to determine the continuity of deposits, especially in areas where ; information is limited. Topographic maps of the published by National Mapping | Rescurce Authority, at a scale of 1:50,000, were used as a compilation base for the | field and office data. All the necessary data gathered on the field as well as in the laboratory were combined and then transferred from the source maps to the base map. After the 4 manipulation and interpretation of the data, the production of maps and technical report writing followed. 1 4.0 REGIONAL SETTING q 4A Volcano-Tectonic Setting : The Philippine archipelago is located between two opposing subduction zones delineating a 500 km-wide, actively deformed zone known as the Philippine Mobile Belt (Figure 5). Oblique convergence generated by these : ‘opposing subduction zones is partially absorbed by the Manila Trench (Karig, 1973; Cardwell et al., 1980). It is also accommodated by left-lateral st ike faulting along a system known as the Philippine Fault Zone. northwest-trending branches splay from the main fault zone, two of V (1980). Subduction of the South China Sea basin beneath the | Plate at the Manila Trench gave rise to the Luzon arc, which is differ into the following five segments: Taiwan, Babuyan, Northern Luzon, Bataan. and Mindoro (Defant et al., 1990). The Bataan arc is further subdivided into the East Bataan Lineament and the West Bataan Lineament. Characterized as. having some of the greatest clustering of volcanoes in the Philippines, the West Bataan Lineament includes Mts. Pinatubo, Natib and Mariveles (Wolfe | and Self, 1983). Older, eroded volcanoes are also found along this lineament (Defant et al., 1988), with Mts. Malasimbo, Balakibok, and Negron at the northern segment, the Cavite-Batangas Highland volcanoes in the center, and ] the Nasugbu Volcanic Terrain at the southernmost end. | The volcanism of the Cavite-Batangas Highland eruption centers has been characterized by cycles of effusive, strombolian-type eruptions followed by lava dome formation and coltapse, mild strombolian activity, and later, more explosive vulcanian- or pelean- to plinian type eruptions (Calderon-Zanoria, 1991). These volcanoes are small compared to the others of the West Bataan Lineament, most likely due to erosion after the cessation of volcanic activity q within the Highland approximately 2.4 Ma (Calderon-Zanoria, 1991). The highly dissected slopes of the Mataas na Gulod caldera expose composite features, suggesting that prior to erosion, this stratovolcano may have been at : least 1200 m high. Based on morphology, Wolfe and Self (1983) proposed that q eruptive activity terminated before 2 Ma. 4.2 Stratigraphy Published geologic quadrangle map of the MGB (Figure 6) showed that the area is undertain by at least three (3) major rock formations, namely: Lobo Agglomerate, Taal Tuff and Quaternary Alluvium, Geological Investigation Report ofthe ; Mineral Aggregates Deposits of Juan Angeles Property, Barangay Pinagsanhan, Maragondon, Cavite The Lobo Agglomerate is composed of massive agglomerates and volcanic breccia made up of well cemented andesite and dacite clasts in a fine matrix of the same composition and minor intercalations of lapilli tuff. This material is believed to have been derived from the various volcanic activities in the region particularly the Palay-Palay and Mataas na Gulod Caldera. A K-Ar age of 2.56 + 0.09 Ma (Sudo et al., 2000) was obtained for a clinopyroxenehornblende dacite collected from Mt. Palay-palay, which is an old volcanic center located around the area of Pico de Loro (Calderon-Zanoria, 1991). Volcanic deposits of Mt. Naligang consist of pyroclastic flow deposits and small volume andesitic lava flows and plugs. Clave and Zepeda (1967) described the locality south of Mataas na Gulod as being underlain by hornblende andesite agglomerates capped by tuffaceous clastics. A K-Ar age of 4.9 Ma was obtained for a dioritic intrusion west of Mataas Na Gulod caldera (Wolfe and Seif, 1983). The Lobo agglomerate is widely distributed within Maragondon- Nasugbu area. Within the study area, the agglomerate occurs in thick layers and interbedded tuff and lapilli. Taal Tuff is composed of pyroclastic rocks that is characterized by thin to medium bedded fine grained vitric tuff and welded voleanic breccias with subordinate amount of tuffaceous to medium grained interbedded sandstone. Tuffs, agglomerates, breccia flows, and lava deposits that form part of the Batangas Volcanics are exposed within the Nasugbu Volcanic Terrain (Inving, 1947; Corby et al., 1951; Bureau of Mines and Geosciences, 1981) Quiazon et al. (1982) assigned the following ages to deposits found within the terrain based on fossil data and previous works. Middle Miocene to andesite and basalt lava deposits, breccia, agglomerate and minor ash flow deposits; Late Miocene to diorite intrusives; and Pliocene to lava deposits, agglomerates and ash flow deposits. Geological Investigation Report of the Mineral Aggregates Deposits of Juan Angeles Property, Barangay Pinagsanhan, Maragondon, Cavite The Quaternary Alluvium is the youngest lithologic formation in the area and is limited to low lying areas, floodplains of rivers and creeks, valleys and Coastal plains. It is made up of unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt and clay. 4.3 Structural Geology Delineated on the radar mosaic is the Sibuyan Sea Fault (SSF) as identified by Forster et al. (1990), although no ground truthing for this structure Was conducted. An unnamed, steeply northwest-oriented structure splays from the SSF, which we refer to as the Ternate lineament. The western margin of Mt. Naligang's crater appears to be structurally controlled by the main SSF, ‘ while Palay-palay is transected by the lineament. The Mataas na Gulod Caldera is also transected by an unnamed, northeast-trending fault identified in the work of Pubellier et al, (2000), as the Maragondon lineament. The radar mosaic (Figure 7) clearly presents all three craters as horseshoe-shaped and breached: Naligang to the west, Palaypalay and Mataas na Gulod to the center and east, respectively. Calderon-Zanoria (1991) suggests that the breaching of these craters is due to explosive eruptions, although it is highly Possible that the morphology of the craters has been influenced by possible Movement along adjacent structures, causing subsequent volcano instability (Lagmay et al., 2000), or even by progressive erosion, “ 5.0 MINERAL DEPOSIT There are at least two types of deposit assumed to have an economic potential, namely the andesitic agglomerate/voicanic breccia and the tufflapilli (Figure 8 & 9). x 23, 5.1 Andesitic Agglomerate/Volcanic Breccia pe: ‘The andesitic agglomerate/volcanic breccia deposits are generaliy made-up of pebble to boulder sized fragments imbedded with coarse sandy matrix within the agglomerate layer. The fragments are monolithic, angular to Geological Investigation Report of the Mineral Aggregates Deposits of Juan Angeles Property, Barangay Pinagsanhan, Maragondon, sub-rounded, and closely packed (Photos 1 and 2). Based on the a investigation, there are at least two distinct layers present and are situated at level 50 and 80 meters above sea level (mas). The agglomerate at level 50 mas! has subrounded and closely packed clasts as compared to the upper volcanic breccia layer at level 80 mas! which has angular to sub-angular and loosely packed clasts. Since these layers have very irregular thickness (as they normally occur in lenses which pinch and swell), it is hereby presumed to have an average thickness of at about 6 and 7 meters for resource estimate of the lower and upper level of the deposit, respectively. Having an almost horizontal trend, its extent can be projected towards the south from the northem side of the tenement area. An andesitic rock sample taken from the agglomerate layer showed that it is massive and has a very fine grained texture, sometimes exhibit greenish and yellowish gray in color due to the effects cf weathering. Though physically seen as massive, 2 closer inspection shows that minute fractures but healed lines are criss-crossing the rock. In thin section, the specimen exhibits very fine te fine-grained phenocrysts of sodic plagioclase. augite, hornbiende, hypersthene and opaque that are set against a groundmass of tightly arranged feldspar microlites, opaque specks and finer granules of augite. These phenocrysts are occasionally gathered into clusters producing the cumulophyric texture of rock (Appendix 1). A few feldspar laths appear to be turbid due to thin masking of clay dust-calcite patches-goethite stains. Most feldspar phenocrysts remain fresh. Homblende prisms are apparently more susceptible to alteration in comparison to the pyroxene insets. Hornblende crystals are lost to aggregates of microcrystalline pyroxene as a result of deuteric alteration but are able to preserve their hexagonal form. In addition, chlorite-opaque-goethite replace the rest of the hornblende crystals.

The sample was cored and then inserted to a compressing machine. Based on the result of the test performed by ARS Testing and Inspection Inc. on two samples from the study area, the compressive strength of the material range from 13,258 psi to 19,589 psi (Appendix 2) and corresponds to medium to high level of strength. Although the average igneous rock could have a compressive strength of about * 32,000 psi (very high strength) (Table 4), the rock sample from the study area maybe weaker due fo its altered and fractured state.

They occur in thick is with horizontal to gentle dip trends. Manual inspection showed that the material is relatively soft to stiff, gray in color, fine to coarse grained and sometimes contains pebbie to boulder clasts of pumice (Photos 3 and 4). Its thickness is approximately range from 50 to 60 meters. The results of sieve analysis showed that the soil sample can be Classified as Sandy silt (ML) using the United Soil Classification System (Appendix 3). About 36.5% of the total fragments pass through the standard mesh sieve nos. 10/40 (gravelisand) and a tota! of 63.5% pass through sieve No. 200 which means that the Material has more silt than sand. In thin section, it is composed of irregularly bounded, fine to medium grained clasts of lithic fragments, plagioclase, homblende, pyroxene, quartz and opaques that are held together by a hatrix of glass, chlorite and minute feidspar granules (Appendix 2). Broken chips of plagioclase exhibit fresh, zoned and twinned surfaces. Most homblende and Pyroxene crystals are likewise fresh in appearance yet strongly fractured and corroded. Occasionally, homblende particles are thickly coated by goethite. Lithic fragments come in the form of vitric clasts and andesite. Vitric clasts exhibit porphyritic texture and are composed of plagioclase, homblende, hypersthene insets surrounded by glass materials, showing froth-like texture. The table below enumerates the composition of tufflapilli with corresponding percentage: Glass (sometimes altered) 20% Chiorite 520% Feldspar_ = i 05% Clay | 520% Gosthite 02% 5.3 Mineral Reserve/Resource Since there is no detailed topographic survey conducted in the area up to this date, the computation of mineral resource was approximated from the contours and elevations indicated in the topographic map of NAMRIA. thickness is based on the projections of attitude and trend of the deposit. was 5.3.1. Andesitic Agglomerate/Volcanic Breccia 9 ‘The lower level agglomerate occupy an area of about Geological Investigation Report of the Mineral Aggregates Deposits of Juan Angeles Property, Barangay Pinagsanhan, Maragondon, Cavite The upper level volcanic breccia occupy an area of about 115,000 square meters. Assuming a thickness of about 7 meters, the volume will be 805,000 cubic meters. A deduction of 25% is deducted for the voids, irregular contour and the erosion in the area and this result to a volume of 603,750 cubic meters of volcanic breccia. Extraction of the concrete aggregate materials from the voleanic breccia will produce a 50% yield which is equivalent to a volume of 301,875 cubic meters. The combined volume of concrete aggregate materials that can be extracted from the lower level and the upper level of the proposed quarry area will be 808,875 cubic meters. Extraction of this material would be selective and needs to clear/eliminate very large volume of tuftfapill to reach the levels rich with agglometrate. 5.3.2 Tuff/Lapilli The tuffflapilli occur as an intercalated material with the andesitic agglomerate/volcanic breccia deposit though it is the dominant material in the area. The estimate of the combined aggregate and the filling materials from the tuff, agglomerate and volcanic breccia within the proposed quarry site is done by computing the area from each of the 20 meters contours of the site. Two options in the computation of volume are laid which are: 4. If the materials extraction will be from elevation 0 to 120 meters, an average area of 252,345 square meters was computed and multiplied with a thickness of 120 meters, the volume of materials is 30,281,434 cubic meters. A deduction of 30% is applied for the irregularity of the contour, voids, erosional effects and the previous extractions made and this will result to a geological volume estimate of 21,197,004 cubic meters. If the previously computed Geological Investigation Report of the Mineral Aggregates Depots of Juan Angeles Property Barangay Pinagsanhon Maragondon, Cavite volume of the concrete aggregate materials which is 808,875 cubic meters will be deducted, the remaining filing materials from the tufflapili will be approximately 20,388,129 cubic meters. 2. If the extraction will be from elevation 40 to 120 meters, the average area of 152,428 square meters multiplied by a thickness of 50 meters, the volume of materials will be 12,194,224 cubic meters. A deduction of 30% is applied for the irregularity of contour, voids, Crosional effects and previous extractions made and this will result 10 a geological volume estimate 8.535.957 cubic meters. If the Previously computed volume of the concrete aggregate materials Which is 808,875 cubic meters will be deducted, the remaining filing materials trom the tufitapili will be approximately 7,727,082 cubic meters.

ROLLAN CIC, Lands Geological Survey Division “MINING SHALL BE PRO-PEOPLE AND PRO-ENVIRONMENT IN SUSTAINING WEALTH CREATION AND IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE.” | PMI7-366 365 R-1 MSPS, THIN SECTION DESCRIPTION: Very fine- to fine-grained phenocrysts of sodic plagioclase, augite, homblende, hypersthene and opaque are set against a groundmass of tightly arranged feldspar microlites + opaque specks + finer granules of augite. These phenocrysts are occasionally gathered into clusters, producing the cumulophyric texture of the rock. Alteration: A few feldspar iaths appear turbid due to the thin masking of clay dust +/- calcite patches +/- goethite stains. Most feldspar phenocrysts remain fresh. Homb!ende prisms are apparently more susceptible to alteration in comparison to the pyroxene inscts. Homblende crystals are lost to aggregates of microcrystalline pyroxene as a result of deuteric alteration but are able to preserve their hexagonal form. In addition, chlorite + ‘opaque + goethite replace the rest of the homblende crystals.

Broken chips of plagioclase exhibit fresh, zoned and twinned surfaces. Most homblende and pyroxene crystals are likewise fresh in : yet strongly fractured and corroded. Occasionally, komblende particles are thickly coated with yoethite. Lithic fragments come in the form of vitric clasts and andesite. Vitcic clasts exhibit porphyritic texture and are composed of piagioclase, hornblende, and hypersthene insets surrounded by glass materials. showing froth-like texture. Andesite fiagments, on the other hand, contain phenocrysts of plagioclase and homblende set against a groundmass of microcrystalline feldspar aggregates + opaques + goethite.
