Vision Statement
ADTI-MMS uses consensus to promote scientifically sound mineral development that minimizes adverse impacts on water and maximizes beneficial post-mining land uses.
Mission Statement
The mission of ADTI-MMS is to identify, evaluate, develop, and disseminate information about cost effective, environmentally sound methods and technologies to manage mine wastes and related metallurgical materials for abandoned, inactive, active, and future mining and associated operations and to promote understanding of these technologies. ADTI-MMS is not a policy or regulatory initiative; it is a technically focused consensus group of volunteer representatives from state and federal government, academia, the mining industry, consulting firms, and other interested parties who are involved in the environmentally sound management of metal-mine wastes and drainage quality issues.
ADTI is one of the regional organisation partners of The International Network for Acid Prevention (INAP). This partnership will foster collaboration on workshops and research projects, particularly leverage opportunities.
The other partners are :
- Mine Environmental Neutral Drainage Programme in Canada (MEND/NEDEM)
- Australian Center for Minerals Extension and Research(ACMER)
