Anglo Asian Mining PLC (AIM:AAZ, OTC:AGXKF) told investors that it has committed to implementing the global industry standard on tailings management (GISTM) at its operations at Gedabek, Azerbaijan. These standards, which were established by the UN Environment Programme, the International Council on Mining and Metals and the Principles of Responsible Investment, aim to achieve zero harm to people and the environment. Under GISTM, operators take responsibility and prioritise the safety of tailings facilities, through all phases of a facility's lifecycle, including closure and post-closure, as well as disclosing relevant information to support public accountability. The gold, copper and silver producer said it already complies with all local tailings dam regulations, and the aim is to reach full GISTM compliance by the end of 2026.

Even if our involvement it is been something different than what the article state, as MJO Ingeniería y Consultores en Metalurgia we have been very fortunate on supporting this very interesting namibian copper project. As process consultant we designed and supervised the experimental work, evaluate different process alternatives (trade-offs) and prepared Process Design Criteria (PDC) for the engineering stage. All this supported by detailed metallurgical and process modeling using #METSIM. #Copper #Mining

With a score of 78.5 points out of a possible 100, Uganda has been commended by the Oslo-based Extractives Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) Board following a recent validation of the country but, persistent issues surrounding transparency in the disclosure of oil and mining contracts as well as discrepancies in gold production and export data affected its overall score. Uganda’s validation score published by the EITI Board on May 21 was based on the implementation of the 2019 EITI standard. According to the EITI validation classification, a score of 0 – 49 is categorised as “low”; 50 – 69 is “fairly low,” 70 – 84 is ranked as “moderate,” 85 – 92 is classified as high, while 93 – 100 is very high.

#CriticalMinerals global market is a battlefield for survival of many international corporations in energy transition times. 1. Developed economies are in a dire straits to create resilient and diversified mineral supply chains at any cost, often ignoring the impact on developing ones. They had to secure uninterrupted supply of critical minerals: lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite for batteries; silicon, tin and gallium for electronics; rare earth elements for electric motors and so on. 2. The rich North has (re)discovered that the United Nations system organizations and their programs, previously abandoned and even defined as "useless", can be suitably (ab)used for blocking doors open to the poor South resources. 3. Recently, UNIDO's Member States in Vienna have been seriously alarmed by a controversial Accelerate - to - Demonstrate (#A2D) Facility, imposed by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, to be financed from #UNIDO budget and by Ayrton Fund, disguised as a project driving forward clean energy innovations, all under British Embassy Vienna watchful eyes. 4. Future Minerals Forum, championed by the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia, aims at creating resilient and responsible mineral value chains in Africa as well as Western and Central Asia.  5. Some countries, such as Indonesia, Chile and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that are home to large deposits of the minerals needed for technologies like electric vehicles and solar panels - have began to strategically self-defend their interests, and environment. Chile, for instance, plans to nationalize its lithium industry - reveals the Report published by World Economic Forum during the #WEF24 Annual meeting that just wrapped up in Davos. 6. “#Saudi Arabia is making sure that the country is seen as determined in its efforts to become the leader of the 'super region', which has become the new buzzword, comprising Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia ... ” A Project With A View - A2D Facility - Facts & Faqs: ▶️https://lnkd.in/dsXFci6s. #FutureMineralsForum #NetZero #A2DFacility #SupplyChains #CleanHydrogen #SmartEnergy #IndustrialDecarbonization #ProgressByInnovation #UNIDOVentureLabs #SDG9 UNIDO Environment UNIDO's Industrial Decarbonization Accelerator The Global Programme for Hydrogen in Industry UNIDO Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) Department for Science, Innovation and Technology Department for International Development (DFID) Ministry of Economy and Planning - MEPsaudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources Ma'aden Saudi Fund for Development
