March 15, 2025Anglo American Platinum announces Mogalakwena mine achievement
Anglo American Platinum announces that its Mogalakwena mine in South Africa has been assessed against the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance’s (IRMA) comprehensive mining standard for the first time, achieving an IRMA 50 level of performance.
Mogalakwena is the last of the four owned PGMs mines in Anglo American Platinum’s stable to complete an IRMA audit. This follows the achievement of Unki mine in Zimbabwe, the first mine in the world to publicly commit to be independently audited against the IRMA Standard for Responsible Mining, achieving IRMA 75 in 2021 and reconfirmed in 2024 at IRMA 75 following a regular surveillance audit. Mototolo and Amandelbult were also audited in 2024 for the first time, achieving IRMA 75 and IRMA 50 respectively.
IRMA offers independent third-party verification against a comprehensive standard for all mined materials that provides ‘one-stop coverage’ of the full range of issues related to the impacts of industrial-scale mines.
