Mindoro Resources Ltd.: Impact of Typhoon Haiyan
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov 15, 2013) - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MIO)(ASX:MDO)(FRANKFURT:WKN 906167) today provided the following statement. Like the rest of the world, Mindoro is shocked at the devastation and human cost and suffering caused by Typhoon Haiyan, known as "Typhoon Yolanda" in the Philippines, and expresses its deep sympathy to all affected.
Typhoon Haiyan passed directly over Pan de Azucar Island, northeast Panay Island, where the Company is in joint venture with TVI Pacific Inc. Company staff were unscathed, with some damage to camp facilities. However, damage to the island was extensive with houses and food stocks destroyed and fishing boats, a mainstay of the local economy, washed away.
Mindoro immediately provided emergency funds and organised food supplies to the island. The Company will be participating with TVI Pacific and working with Local Government Units in relief efforts to assist the community to recover from the devastation.
The central track of the typhoon passed approximately 200 kilometers to the north of the Mindoro / TVI Pacific Agata Project, located in the province of Agusan del Norte, Mindanao. Minor damage was sustained at Agata, mainly to roads.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Tony Climie, CEO
