Cyanco’s Cadillac Sodium Cyanide Terminal Recertified Under ICMC
April 7, 2017
The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that Cyanco’s sodium cyanide transloading terminal in Quebec, Canada has been recertified in full compliance with the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code).
The Cadillac sodium cyanide transloading terminal was initially certified in full compliance with the Cyanide Code in January 2007, and was recertified in September 2010 and in October 2013. As required under the Cyanide Code, the operation was again audited against ICMI’s Production Verification Protocol within three years of its previous certification by independent professional third-party auditors. ICMI has received and accepted the auditors’ Detailed Audit Findings Report, which found that the Cadillac transloading terminal maintained full compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Principles and Production Standards of Practices throughout the previous three years. The Summary Audit Report and Auditor Credentials Form are available on Cyanco’s Signatory Companies Page: http://cyanidecode.org/signatory-company/cyanco. The operation must be re-audited every three years to evaluate continuing compliance with the Cyanide Code.
The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in the primary production of gold or silver using cyanide and companies producing and transporting this cyanide. It was developed under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme by a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee. 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 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.
