The document discusses four permits or documents required for transporting minerals: the Mineral Ore Export Permit (MOEP) required for transporting ores outside the Philippines; the Ore Transport Permit (OTP) required for transporting minerals domestically; the Ore Transport Certification (OTC) for transporting up to 2 tons of ore samples; and the Delivery Receipt (DR) required for transporting sand and gravel. Failure to present the required permits can result in seizure of minerals and equipment as prima facie evidence of illegal mining.
