COTABATO CITY, Philippines (Xinhua) -- Suspected leftist rebels killed a miner on Friday in the southern Philippines, police said.

The victim, Cris Bual, an offsite land acquisition superintendent for Sagittarius Mines Inc., was attacked and killed by suspected members of New People's Army (NPA) at the Central Park subdivision of the southern city of Davao, said local police commander Senior Superintendent Rene Aspera, adding police were investigating if the incident was work-related.

The Tampakan mine, which SMI has been developing, is considered one of Southeast Asia's largest copper mine with an estimated yield of 11.6 million tons of copper and 14.6 million ounces of gold.
