i'm not sure how important this is, but it sounds good:

Canadian mining company, Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE: KGC - News) announced recently that its Kupol mine in the Far East Region of the Russian Federation has been fully certified under the International Cyanide Management Code. Kupol is the first mine in Russia to obtain this certification.

In November 2009, Kupol's transportation group was also certified by the International Cyanide Management Code, making it the first certified mine-operated transportation group in the world. The certification covers the storage and transportation of cyanide from Port of Pevek facilities to Kupol.

The Cyanide Management Code is a voluntary code that focuses on the safe manufacturing, transportation, storage, use and decommissioning of cyanide and associated facilities used for the production of gold. Certification for Kinross' La Coipa mine in Chile will commence in 2010. All other Kinross operations - including Maricunga in Chile; Paracatu and Crixas in Brazil; and Round Mountain, Fort Knox and Kettle River-Buckhorn in the US - are now certified under the Cyanide Management Code.
