BOYERTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2025 / Global Advanced Metals Pty Ltd (GAM), a leading producer of tantalum and tin products, has successfully undergone conflict minerals due diligence audits by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) at its 3 manufacturing sites in Australia, Japan and the United States.

To earn RMAP-RMI conformance status, a company must successfully undergo a rigorous third party audit of its smelting operations. The audit includes validating evidence of: adherence to the 5-steps Due Diligence Guidance of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), acceptable reasonable country of origin evaluation, mine of origin and chain of custody documentation, and verification of scrap sources among other criteria.

"These successful audits are additional evidence of the effectiveness of GAM's holistic management system approach to minerals due diligence across the company. GAM will continue collaborating and partnering with organizations like the Public Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade (PPA), the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Multi-Stakeholders Group to drive for responsible business practice in the minerals sector." Said Edward Steckel, GAM Senior Director of Global Supply Chain.

The RMI-RMAP's conflict-minerals due diligence audit program is led and supported by a cross section of industries (e.g., Electronics, Aerospace, and Automotive), governments, and other stakeholders. Downstream companies rely on the conformance of smelters like GAM to comply with Section 1502 of the US Dodd-Frank Act, EU conflict minerals regulations, and other applicable conflict-free minerals' regulations.
