“IRMA is the global benchmark for ethical mining, ensuring full transparency, environmental protection, and social responsibility. It is no longer a nice-to-have—it is a requirement for the future of mining investment. [And that] TETHYS does not finance any mining project that does not commit to IRMA’s third-party assurance process. […] TETHYS is committed to IRMA not because we have to, but because it is the onlyl viable path forward.”
