Polymetal International plc
Amursk POX plant fully certified under International Cyanide Management Code
The Amursk POX plant became the second gold production operation in Russia
and FSU which has been certified as being in full compliance with the
International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code) as both a gold mining
company and separately as a cyanide transporter by the International Cyanide
Management Institute (ICMI).
Polymetal became signatory to the Cyanide Code as a mining company in 2016
and as a cyanide transporter in 2018, and an independent third-party auditor
has recently completed an audit of the Amursk POX Operation and Supply Chain
which confirmed that the operation maintains full compliance with the
Cyanide Code's Principles and Practices.
The Summary Audit Report and Auditor Credentials Form are available on
Polymetal's Mining and Transportation Signatory Page on the ICMI website at
https://www.cyanidecode.org/signatory-company-categories/polymetal-internati
onal-plc-cyprus [1] and
https://www.cyanidecode.org/signatory-company-categories/polymetal-internati
onal-cyprus [2].
In addition, Polymetal has developed a corporate Cyanide Management System
which will be implemented in 2019 and has fully integrated the Cyanide Code
principles and standards of practice into its Health, Safety and
Environmental Management Systems.
About ICMC
The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in
the production of gold and/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.
Code signatories commit to follow the Code's Principles and implement its
Standards of Practice, and to have verification audits of their operations
conducted by independent third-party auditors within three years of their
initial application, and every three years thereafter to evaluate continuing
compliance with the Cyanide Code. Operations will be certified if found in
compliance with the Code, and may be de-certified if determined to be out of
compliance with the Code.

with its subsidiaries - "Polymetal", the "Company", or the "Group") is a
