The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that it has accepted the application of Snowline Gold Corporation to become a mining signatory to the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code). Snowline Gold Corporation is a gold exploration and development company focused on advancing its 100% owned Rogue Project in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Ore at the Rogue Project will be processed in a contained, mill-based plant rather than by heap leaching, providing multiple engineering controls on cyanide handling to safeguard workers, communities, and the environment.
By becoming a Cyanide Code signatory, Snowline Gold Corporation commits to following the Cyanide Code’s Principles and implementing its Standards of Practice, as well as having a certification audit of the Roque Project conducted by independent third-party auditors no later than one year from first delivery of cyanide at the operation, and every three years thereafter. The company has indicated it may seek pre-operational certification of the Rogue Project prior to commencing operations. Operations are certified if found in compliance with the Code and may be de-certified if it is determined that they no longer comply with the Cyanide Code.
The Cyanide Code is a risk-based assurance 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. It 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. 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.
