The Mining Division of Malayan Wood Products, Inc. (now known as Krominco, Inc.) began its exploration activity way back in 1977 when it was awarded an Operating Contract by then Surigao Mineral Reservation Board to explore and exploit the chromite deposit in Dinagat Island. In 1979, it started chromite lumpy and concentrate production from Libjo rich deposit. In 1980 the present Mt. Redondo deposit was discovered. Positive ore reserves were blocked through diamond drilling.
Production of chromite concentrates began when the washing plant to treat lateritic chromite sand was completed at the Redondo mine site.
