It also reported allocating nearly USD 9.8 million to community investments, supporting infrastructure, social development programs, and long-term funds aimed at benefiting host and neighboring communities.
The company said these initiatives form part of its broader commitment to responsible mining and creating positive outcomes for stakeholders.
On the environmental front, OceanaGold reported maintaining 45.4 hectares of protected habitat and implementing environmental management measures to address the impacts of its operations.
It also said it used renewable energy certificates to cover 100% of its electricity consumption, supporting efforts to manage greenhouse gas emissions.
The company added that it recorded zero monetary fines for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations in 2025.
OceanaGold also pointed to its local economic contributions, including around USD 17.7 million spent on local suppliers, which it said helps support economic activity in communities near its operations.
In terms of workforce safety, the company reported zero fatalities and three work-related injuries during the year.
OceanaGold operates the Didipio gold and copper mine under a Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement with the Philippine government, allowing it to explore and develop mineral resources within a defined contract area.
