Taganito Mining Corporation (TMC), is situated in the municipality of Claver, in the province of Surigao del Norte. This area of operations lies within the Surigao Mineral Reservation. TMC exports saprolite and limonite ore and supplies limonite ore and various non-mining services to the adjacent Taganito HPAL plant operated by Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation (THPAL).
Due to its rich mineral deposits, a significant portion of Claver's municipal land has been designated as a mining reservation, though farming and fishing also support many residents. Several river systems in the area feed into Kinalablaban Bay, with the 6.1 km Taganito River being officially adopted by TMC for protection and sustainability measures, in collaboration with local government units and agencies. The mining area operates under MPSA No. 266-2008-XIII-SMR and is neither located in nor adjacent to protected areas or regions of high biodiversity value.
In its pursuit of development, TMC collaborates with its four host barangays—Hayanggabon, Urbiztondo, Taganito, and Cagdianao—and acts as a responsible neighbor to ten other non-mining barangays in the municipality. This region is part of the ancestral domain of the Mamanwas, one of the oldest tribes in the Philippines. TMC supports the Mamanwas' organization, Asosasyon nan Madazaw na Panaghiusa ng Tribo nan Mamanwa sa Taganito ug Urbiztondo (AMPANTRIMTU), which is registered and recognized by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP).
TMC's commitment to sustainable development is reflected in its various initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for local communities. These efforts include health and education programs, infrastructure development, and environmental conservation projects. Through these initiatives, TMC strives to foster a positive impact on the communities and the natural environment of Surigao del Norte.
