The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) recently announced that Iduapriem Gold Mine has been certified for the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code).
The ICMI reviewed the Audit Findings Report, which was prepared by an independent professional third-party auditor, who evaluated Iduapriem Mine against the ICMI’s Verification Protocol, and found the mine in full compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Principles and Standards of Practice.
Speaking about this milestone achievement, Mr. Sam Noi, Senior Manager Processing, said, “We successfully met the ICMI requirements by ensuring that we work consistently and systematically towards achieving all the requirements for certification. This included building a new cyanide sparging facility, constructing of tailings and supernatant water pipe lines in trenches.”
The ICMI audit is conducted every three years, with the objective of evaluating continuing compliance with the Cyanide Code. The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry programme for companies involved in the production of gold, using cyanide, and companies producing and transporting cyanide. The Cyanide Code is intended to complement an operation’s existing obligation to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the political jurisdictions in which their operation is located.
