The Municipality of Claver is the only second-class municipality in the province of Surigao
del Norte, Philippines with a total land area of 322.60 square kilometres (124.56 sq mi). It is the
largest municipality of the province. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 32,773
people. It is approximately 60 kilometres (37 mi) southeast of the provincial capital, Surigao City.
The town can be reached by bus, van-for-hire and jeepney from the Surigao Integrated Bus &
Jeepney Terminal or at any point along the national highway. A large part of the municipal land
area is reserved for mining because of the large iron mineral deposits on its soil. Two of the
biggest mining companies in the country are currently operating in the Municipality, Taganito
Mining Corporation and Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation. About a hundred of subcontractors
are as well tied up with this two giant corporation. Overall, mining is the major economic driver
of the Municipality
Next to mining, the municipality sees a huge potential for tourism. One of the only two
seaport access in going to the world renowned destinations and world wonders like Bucas
Grande group of islands, Enchanted Sohoton Cove and the surfing capital of the Philippines,
Siargao Island, is located in Brgy. Hayanggabon, Claver. On an average, the total number of
arrivals for the months of March, April, May, early June, September, October, November and
December, reaches about 60,000. This is all time high figures were recorded in 2017 and 2018.
Thus the overall thrust of the municipality is geared towards developing the tourism industry
which is the best alternative for mining.
