TVI’s management team has extensive experience working in Asia and has successfully put multiple development projects into production in the Philippines, including the Canatuan gold-silver mine (2003), the Canatuan copper-zinc mine (2009) and the Agata nickel laterite direct shipping ore project (2014).

The Asia Pacific region is also strategically located near massive end markets for various resources, thereby ensuring low transportation costs and ease of negotiating offtake agreements.

TVI’s management team has a successful track record of putting mines into production at low initial and operating costs. Management’s resource acquisition and development strategy is centered around the idea of Bootstrap Growth, whereby the focus is to commence operations as quickly as possible to generate revenues and cash flow and to then use cash flows from operations to fund further exploration to grow the resource and expand operations. This approach minimizes the initial financing requirement and reduces the associated risk while minimizing also dilution to shareholders as growth is self-financed.

The company is also a recognized leader in corporate, social and environmental responsibility in the Philippines.
