The International Cyanide Management Institute certified MIQ Logistics, after reviewing a Summary Audit Report. The report is prepared by an independent professional third-party auditor who evaluates MIQ’s International Supply Chain against ICMI’s Transport Verification Protocol.

“This voluntary certification within Peru, is one more way for MIQ to show our compliance and support of the mining industry” said John Carr, MIQ President and Chief Executive Officer. “MIQ has an extensive history in mining logistics; from HSE accountability and engineering studies to end-to-end over-dimensional moves into remote locations. This distinction only strengthens our expertise even more within the mining industry for Peru”.
