Philippines identifies uranium source in Camarines Norte, boosting nuclear ambitions

Researchers have identified a potential uranium source in the Larap-Paracale mining district, a long-explored area, which could support Manila's nuclear power plans if further exploration confirms viability. The find is preliminary and unquantified, but it aligns with the Philippines' push to establish nuclear energy and expand critical minerals. This development is significant as it could reduce fuel import dependence, though commercial viability remains uncertain.
