On-site Surveillance Audit at Sishen in October
From IRMA approved independent auditor ERM CVS:
ERM CVS to Conduct On-site IRMA Surveillance Assessment of Anglo American/Kumba Iron Ore Sishen operations
ERM CVS Seeks Input from Local Community and Other Stakeholders
ERM CVS announces that on 22-24 October 2025 it will visit the Anglo American – Kumba Iron Ore – Sishen mining operations in South Africa’s Northern Cape province to conduct an independent, third-party Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) surveillance assessment of the operation.
The initial audit report of Anglo American – Kumba Iron Ore – Sishen mine operations was released on 27 March 2024 with an achievement level of IRMA 75. The report is available on the IRMA website: https://responsiblemining.net/sishen
The onsite surveillance audit will verify that the site operations continue to align with the performance previously recognized in the initial audit report. The audit team will verify that the mine’s systems and controls are still in place and are functioning effectively, that no major changes have occurred that negatively affect the mine’s performance, and that the site is progressing on its corrective action plan. The audit will also include confidential interviews with workers and engagement with community stakeholders. Following the completion of the surveillance audit, a report will be published on the IRMA website.
The abbreviated surveillance audit summary report will provide Anglo American and stakeholders insight into continuity of operations, material changes, and evidence of continued improvement. A full reassessment audit will occur three years after the release of the initial audit report.
