Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management

Lundin Mining is committed to the implementation of the GISTM, which is the first global standard on tailings management. 

The Lundin Mining Tailings Management Standard was updated in 2021, and the Responsible Mining Policy was updated in 2022 to align with the GISTM requirements. In 2022, Lundin Mining completed third party gap assessments against the GISTM, and by 2023, achieved full GISTM conformance for the active tailings facilities across Candelaria and Chapada.

In 2024, Lundin Mining achieved full GISTM conformance for both active facilities at Caserones.  Lundin Mining's active tailings facility at Eagle, which is classified as a lower-consequence facility, is expected to conform with the GISTM in 2025.
