Greystar Resources Becomes a Signatory to International Cyanide Management Code
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/22/10 -- Greystar Resources Ltd. (TSX: GSL)(AIM: GSL) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce that The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) has accepted the application of Greystar Resources Ltd. to become a signatory to the International Cyanide Management Code for the Manufacture, Transport and Use of Cyanide in the Production of Gold (Code). The Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in the production of gold using cyanide and companies manufacturing and transporting this cyanide.
By becoming a signatory, Greystar Resources commits to follow the Code's Principles and implement its Standards of Practice and to have verification audits of the Angostura Gold Project conducted by independent third-party auditors during its pre-operational phase, within one year of its first receipt of cyanide, and every three years thereafter. Operations will be certified if found in compliance with the Code, and will be de-certified if ICMI determines that they no longer comply with the Code.
The Code was developed under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme by a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee. The Code is intended to complement an operation's existing obligation to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the political jurisdiction in which the operation is located.
ICMI has been established to administer the Code, promote its adoption, evaluate its implementation, and manage the certification process. A detailed list of the operations covered by signatory companies' applications, along with the full text of the Code and its implementing and administrative documents, are available at www.cyanidecode.org.
