| Conformably with Section 51 of Consolidated Mines Administrative Order (CMAO)[14] implementing Presidential Decree No. (PD) 463[15] and our ruling in Medrana v. Office of the President (OP),[16] the MAB affirmed the POA findings that Macroasia abandoned its mining claims. The MAB found that Macroasia did not comply with its work obligations from 1986 to 1991. It based its conclusion on the field verifications conducted by the MGB, Region IV and validated by the Special Team tasked by the MAB.[17] However, contrary to the findings of the POA, the MAB found that it was Blue Ridge that had prior and preferential rights over the mining claims of Macroasia, and not Celestial. | |||||
