J'sco Holdings Appoints Former Philippine MGB Executive as Inside Director... "Extraordinary General Meeting to be Held on the 21st"

JSCO Holdings is strengthening its competitiveness in the Philippine nickel ore project by recruiting experts from the Philippine MGB (Mines and Geosciences Bureau).

JSCO Holdings announced on the 7th that it will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on the 21st to appoint new directors.

Since JSCO Holdings has secured local experts in various fields such as mining development permits and laws, as well as professionals from the Philippine MGB, the nickel ore project is expected to gain momentum.

Jacob Ebasco Rogador IV, who has been nominated as an inside director candidate, is an expert who started as an engineer at the Philippine MGB Surigao City and has handled all administrative tasks related to mining safety and environment for about eight years. He is currently working as the General Manager (GM) of EVMDC (EV Mining & Development), a local partner company in the Philippines, collaborating with JSCO PH.

In particular, he has served as the chief officer not only in Surigao City but also in the Dinagat area, possessing a high level of understanding and accumulated know-how regarding mines in the region. It is expected that the synergy effect with JSCO Holdings, which is promoting the development and operation of nickel mines in the Surigao and Dinagat areas, will be maximized.

JSCO Holdings is currently conducting additional drilling work on the Dinagat nickel mine and has confirmed that the nickel content of the extracted ore is ultra-high purity, reaching up to 2.8%. Based on the drilling analysis report in September, the company plans to submit the component analysis, reserves, and development plan to the MGB.

A company official stated, “We are focusing on expanding our business capabilities, including recruiting experts, ahead of full-scale nickel mining,” and added, “Jacob Ebasco Rogador, nominated as an inside director candidate, will be a great asset to JSCO Holdings, especially since he was a mining engineer and chief officer in the Dinagat and Surigao areas.”
