Abstract: Mining is prevalent in the Philippines even before our colonization. The concept of Mining is always an issue not only in the Philippines but also in other places around the globe which lead to massive destruction of our natural resources. But, little did we know that we utilize these extracted mineral resources in our daily lives. This research seeks to identify the provisions which are part of RA 7942 which will hinder the over exploitation of the mineral resources in the Philippines as well as present certain ideas for its amendment such as the utilization of nanotechnology, bioremediation, and the like as a means of mine rehabilitation procedure which shall be in addition to section 71 of RA 7942 . As a conclusion, mining in the Philippines cannot be stopped since we need its products in our everyday lives, but we can control it by strictly abiding on the provisions under RA 7942 which is geared towards responsible mining and sustainable development.
Keywords: mining, sustainable development, minerals, mining law.
