INAP: The International Network for Acid Prevention
An organization of international mining companies dedicated to reducing liabilities associated with sulphide mine materials.
The International Network for Acid Prevention (INAP) is an industry group created to help meet the challenge of acid drainage. INAP exists to fill the need for an international body which mobilizes acid drainage information and experience. The network was founded in 1998. Since then INAP has become a proactive, global leader in this field.
Development of the Global Acid Rock Drainage Guide
The development of the Global Acid Rock Drainage (GARD) Guide is sponsored by INAP with the support of the Global Alliance. The GARD Guide was created through the contributions of many individuals and organizations. A team lead by Golder Associates prepared a draft of the Guide.
The GARD Guide deals with the prediction, prevention and management of drainage produced from sulphide mineral oxidation, often termed “acid rock drainage” (ARD). It also addresses metal leaching caused by sulphide mineral oxidation.
The GARD Guide is intended as a state-of-the-art summary of the best practices and technology to assist mine operators and regulators to address issues related to sulphide mineral oxidation.
The GARD Guide currently has 10 Chapters:
1. Introduction 2. ARD Process 3. Corporate, Regulatory and Community Aspects 4. Characterization 5. Prediction 6. Prevention and Mitigation 7. Treatment 8. Monitoring 9. Management and Performance Assessment 10. Communication and Consultation
This version of the draft GARD Guide is “Rev B” and was developed for broad stakeholder review and input. All comments are welcome and should be forwarded by April 1, 2009 to:

All comments received will be considered and an updated version of the GARD Guide will be developed by June 2009, uploaded onto this web site and presented at the 2009 ICARD conference in Sweden.”
