IRMA Draft Responsible Mining and Mineral Processing 2.0

Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA)

The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) is a multi-stakeholder body created to meet global demand for more socially and environmentally responsible mining.

IRMA has drafted a Standard for Responsible Mineral Processing (the “IRMA Mineral Processing Standard”), which specifies performance requirements for environmentally and socially responsible practices during mineral processing.

The Standard serves as the basis for a global voluntary system offering independent third-party review and certification of environmental and social performance at smelters, refineries and other operations involved in the processing of minerals and metals from ores and concentrates.
