Assurance scheme for responsible production of copper and associated minerals, introduced in May 2019; applications opened on 30 March 2020. Its official participant roster identifies Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A. as an awarded operation undergoing reassessment from August 2026 and Mutanda Mining SARL as awarded in April 2025. The site scopes and dates remain distinct from IRMA’s assessment of TFM.
Reported means the cited source describes the relationship at its evidence date. Historical relationships refer to an earlier period. Announced agreements may not have been implemented. None of these labels confirms that trade continues today.
Kamoto Underground (KTO)Mining site
The Copper Mark awarded Kamoto Copper Company (participant P0104) on 10 April 2025 against its Risk Readiness Assessment 3.0. Its follow-up report of 20 May 2026 gives the scope as two mine pits, one underground mine, the concentrator, refinery, waste dumps and tailings. KCC names its one underground mine KTO, which is this site. The Copper Mark does not name the two pits, so the award is not linked to KCC’s open pits.
We produce copper and cobalt hydroxide from our two open pit mines KOV and Mashamba East and from our KTO underground mine.

Kisanfu (KFM)Mining site
The Copper Mark lists CMOC Kisanfu Mining SARL (P0135) with an award dated 6 August 2026, recording 8 criteria as only partially met and an improvement plan in progress: an award that partially meets the standard, not a certification. The scheme's own register is the single publisher; no announcement by the operator was found.
Partially meets for some or all applicable criteria; improvement plan in progress
Metalkol RTRMining site
The Copper Mark's participant roster lists Metalkol S.A.'s tailings-retreatment operation (P0117) with an award dated 16 February 2026, which ERG announced on 24 February 2026. The roster records 17 criteria as only partially met, with an improvement plan in progress: an award that partially meets the standard, not a certification and not an inspection of present conditions.

is pleased to announce that the Metalkol site was recently awarded The Copper Mark
MutandaMining site
The Copper Mark awarded participant P0105, Mutanda Mining SARL, on 10 April 2025 for its integrated mining, solvent extraction/electrowinning and refining operation. USGS identifies that company as operator of the Mutanda Mine and refinery. This associates the award with the Hub’s industrial Mutanda complex, without assigning a separate award to every component or to the artisanal Shabara site.

Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A (TFM)
Tenke Fungurume (TFM)Mining site
The Copper Mark roster identifies Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A. as participant P0082, awarded on 4 June 2024, with reassessment commenced on 28 August 2026 and still marked In Progress when checked. The scheme’s case study names the TFM mine; this records the operation’s assurance relationship, not a completed 2026 reassessment or the separate IRMA audit.
CMOC has owned TFM since 2016
