The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that PT Trans Continent’s Indonesia Supply Chain has 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.
The PT Trans Continent (PTTC) Indonesia Supply Chain is a consolidation of two of PTTC’s previously certified Supply Chain’s, PTTC’s Bakan Supply Chain, and PTTC’s MSM/TTN and NHM Supply Chain. The Bakan Supply Chain was certified in January 2018 and in May 2023, and the MSM/TTN and NHM Supply Chain was certified in September 2011, in December 2014, in January 2018, and in May 2023. As required under the Cyanide Code, the Indonesia Supply Chain was audited against ICMI’s Transportation Verification Protocol by an independent professional third-party auditor. ICMI has received and accepted the auditor’s Summary Audit Report and Detailed Audit Findings Report which found the Indonesia Supply Chain in full compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Transport Principles and Standards of Practice. The Summary Audit Report and Auditor Credentials Form are available on PTTC’s Transport Signatory Page on the Cyanide Code website. The operation must be 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. We invite you to read our 2025 Annual Report.
