In April 2026, mining companies were reportedly involved in exploitation of and violence against Indigenous Peoples in the Caraga region, Philippines. While reportedly operating with impunity, mining companies such as Marcventures Mining and Development Corp., Taganito Mining Corp. and Platinum Group Metals Corp. were allegedly moved into ancestral lands, where their mining activities allegedly cause environmental damage. Against the backdrop of environmental issues, Indigenous and anti-mining activists were killed in a recorded number.

In May, Business and Human Rights Centre invited Marcventures Mining and Development Corp., Taganito Mining Corp. and Platinum Group Metals Corp. to respond to the allegations, but they did not.
