This document presents statistics on the Philippine mining industry from 2008 to 2012. It shows that the total gross production value of mining peaked at $163.2 billion in 2011 but declined to $79.5 billion in 2012. The largest contributor to gross production value was large-scale metallic mining, though small-scale gold mining contributed significantly in earlier years. Taxes and fees collected from mining also peaked in 2011 at $22.2 billion before declining sharply to $1.7 billion in 2012. The number of operating metallic mines and processing plants fluctuated between 23-35 and 2 respectively.

Production value refers to the total value or gross output of mineral extracted during the reporting period as defined in Chapter XXIX, Section 270 of
the DAO 2010-21 of the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 (under the term "Gross Output")
Gross Value Added (GVA) - measures the contribution of a particular sector to the country's GNP; computed by subtracting the cost of production
inputs from the gross output of a particular industry. Total GVA does not include crude oil. Data from 2007-present were adjusted due to
NSCB's change of base year from 1985 to 2000.
