What geologic structure are found near the location of the metallic deposits (gold) in the Philippines?

Metallic deposits (gold) in the Philippines are typically found in igneous-related structures such as porphyry copper deposits, epithermal gold-silver deposits, and skarn deposits. These deposits are often associated with volcanic arcs and subduction zones due to the geologic processes that occur in these tectonic settings. The presence of faults, fractures, and magmatic intrusions in these areas can create pathways for mineral-rich fluids to concentrate and form metallic deposits like gold.
