This document contains three tables that analyze the chemical composition and magnetic/non-magnetic fractions of lahar samples from Zambales, Pampanga, and Tarlac provinces. The tables show that the samples have similar compositions of elements like SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, and MgO. They also find that while the samples contain magnetite, the amounts are too low to be economically extracted. However, the material is suitable for uses like sand in construction. The document estimates the total volume of lahar deposits in the river systems to be 987,045,788 cubic meters and says dredging is needed to clear drainage routes.

Although magnetite bearing, the lahar material is not an economically viable source for magnetite due to its rather low content. The material is however very suitable for use as sand for various civil works and infrastructure projects. Dredging is the only viable engineering intervention available to clear the major drainage systems and mitigate flooding and inundation of built-up and populated areas. THANK YOU & GOOD DAY!
