The total chromite reserves in the Philippines has increased by 11.2 percent from 40.34 million MT in 2013 to 44.86 million MT in due to reappraisals. Class A chromite reserves has decreased by 61.3 percent from 8.58 million MT in 2013 to 3.32 million MT in mainly due to reclassifications (Table 4.2 and Figure 4.1). Moreover,
Philippine ore has come under this classification. It was not until 1935 that chromite production in the Philippines was sufficient to merit inclusion in the trade statistics of the islands. Four years later chromite led in production among the base metals. Exports to the United States began in 1936, and most of the production has been
