Copper Mountain Mining Corporation has achieved a “AA” rating for its tailings management under the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) standards. The third party audit for Copper Mountain’s tailings management was completed by Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd.
The company has wholly adopted the TSM standards and is targeting to achieve a “AA” rating on all eight TSM protocols by the end of 2021. “AA” ratings for Tailings Management, Safety and Health, and Aboriginal and Community Outreach are planned by the end of 2020. Biodiversity Conservation Management, Crisis Management Planning, Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management, Child and Forced Labor Free Certification, and Water Stewardship are planned for the end of 2021.
“Excellence in ESG is not just a priority at Copper Mountain but is ingrained in our cultural DNA. It is an integral element of our long-term business model’s success,” said Gil Clausen, Copper Mountain’s president and CEO.
“In our view, mining with integrity and transparency is the only way to operate. We are committed to sound and sustainable practices in our programs, policies and systems as well as in our disclosure. Receiving a ‘AA’ rating for our tailings management and setting tangible TSM attainment goals demonstrates our commitment. This is just an example of our many ESG initiatives. We look forward to sharing our progress and achievements with all our stakeholders on a regular basis,” added Clausen.
