DMCI Mining Corp. expects to produce 3 million wet metric tons (WMT) of nickel ore in 2026, leveraging operations at three mines in Zambales and Palawan. In 2025, the firm recorded a 33% increase in production to 2 million WMT.

The Long Point mine is anticipated to start operations shortly, contributing an estimated 1 million WMT, depending on permit approval. Nickel prices have surged, with average benchmark prices for a 1.5% grade increasing to $45.7 per WMT. The company is also exploring amendments to expand operating capacity across its sites.
