The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that ProMS LLP’s cyanide warehouse operation and transport operation in Kazakhstan have been certified in full compliance under the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code). The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program focused on the safe and environmentally responsible management of cyanide by companies producing gold and/or silver and by companies manufacturing, warehousing, and transporting cyanide.
ICMI has received and accepted a Detailed Audit Findings Report prepared by an independent professional third-party auditor who evaluated the ProMS warehouse against ICMI’s Production Verification Protocol, and found the warehouse operation in full compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Production Principles and Standards of Practice. ICMI has also received and accepted a Detailed Audit Findings Report prepared by an independent professional third-party auditor who evaluated the ProMS transport operation against ICMI’s Transportation Verification Protocol, and found the transport operation in full compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Transportation Principles and Standards of Practice.
The Summary Audit Reports and Auditor Credentials Forms are available on the ProMS Production Signatory Page and on the ProMS Transportation Signatory Page on the Cyanide Code website. The operations must be re-audited every three years to evaluate continuing compliance with the Cyanide Code.
The Cyanide Code was developed under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme by a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee, and is amongst the most established certification programs in the mining sector. The Cyanide Code is intended to complement an operation’s existing obligation to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the political jurisdiction in which the operation is located.
ICMI has been established to administer the Cyanide Code, promote its adoption, evaluate its implementation, and manage the certification process for operations using, producing, and transporting cyanide. A detailed list of the operations covered by signatory companies’ applications, along with the full text of the Cyanide Code and its implementing and administrative documents, are available at www.cyanidecode.org.
