The Philippines ranks far better than a lot of other places where mining companies are exploring just go back to what happened in Chile and Peru in the early 70s when the then largest copper mines in the world were all nationalized Chuquicamata, El Salvador El Teniente etc were taken and big companies Anaconda Copper and Kennecott Copper were destroyed.

The Solgold resources in Ecuador are deep 500 meters to the better grades see image below but can be accessed via a 6 km decline as its up in the mountains.
