Governance and Standards
Ensure GISTM compliance and facilitate project continuity
Governance and Regulatory Compliance
Compliance in Mining
TSF compliance management covers the entire tailings facility lifecycle, from site selection, design and construction through management and monitoring to closure and post-closure. The primary reference for TSF compliance is the GISTM (Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management), comprising six topic areas, 15 principles and 77 auditable requirements. These provide a framework for safe tailings facility management. GDMS enables comprehensive compliance with statutory tailings conformance protocols to ensure project continuity.
The GDMS platform is founded on a deep technical understanding of the hazards and environmental requirements associated with the design, construction, operation and decommissioning of TSFs.

What is the GISTM?
The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) is a goal setting exercise which seeks to achieve zero harm to people and the environment. It requires companies (operators) to take responsibility by prioritising safety of their tailings facilities through all phases of the mine lifecycle.
What is tailings governance?
The purpose of Tailings Governance is to facilitate elements of management and governance necessary to prevent failures of tailings storage facilities (TSFs).
