From IRMA approved independent auditor ERM CVS.
ERM CVS Seeks Input from Local Community and Other Stakeholders
Today, 21 July 2026, independent audit firm ERM CVS announces that on 15-17 September 2026 it will visit the Valterra Platinum Mogalakwena mine in South Africa’s Limpopo province to conduct an independent, third-party Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) surveillance assessment of the operation.
The initial audit report of Valterra Platinum’s Mogalakwena mine was released on 13 March 2025 with an achievement level of IRMA 50. The report is available on the IRMA website: https://responsiblemining.net/Mogalakwena.
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 report will provide Valterra Platinum 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.
