In other words, from 15 tons of concentrate received about one ton of matte is produced and is shipped to the copper smelter at Tacoma, Washington, for further treatment and refining. At the present time the Philippine Smelting Co. acts as agent in the further processing of concentrates of ores for the following companies: United Paracale Mining Company, San Mauricio Mining Company, Santa Rosa Mining Company, Paracale Gumaus Mining Co., Gumaus Goldfield, Inc., Santa Ana-San Joaquin Mines, Inc., and several leasers.
