FORMER Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Acting Secretary Jim Sampulna pushed for the establishment of more mineral processing plants and utilization of rare earth deposits to help increase the country's mineral production and revenue generation.

'Mineral processing plants make the mined mineral ready to use for application. For example, limestone, if processed, will become cement, which is ready to use for construction,' Sampulna said.
