This is the place wherein I had my first encounter with true to life geologists, metallurgists and MS engineers. Aside from brilliance, these people also possess the gift of being good looking ( am I right dear bloggers? :-D) (My belief that Harrison Ford truly personifies who and what a miner is has been affirmed!)

Remo AguilarRight next to the Corefarm was the SMI Nursery wherein one can find an assortment of plants (trees, flowers, etc.) ready for distribution to nearby communities and other interested stakeholders. There I learned that they have already planted and distributed over 250,000 seedlings in the project area and neighboring communities as part of SMI's reforestation program.

are maintained and can be found within the SMI Compound

To sum up, this part of our SMI escapade is a good reminder that
We must and should always care for our environment and mother nature!
Up next, the thrilling and exciting ride towards a community unaffected
by modernization and globalization :-D
