Of ore and process streams. This reduces wastage and improves the environmental footprint of the operation.4. **Financial Accuracy**: Nickel mines that implement the AMIRA Code provide more reliable production and financial data, enhancing investor confidence and ensuring compliance with international standards.5. **Auditability and Regulatory Compliance**: The AMIRA Code enforces a framework that is auditable and compliant with global best practices, helping nickel operations meet regulatory requirements and ensuring transparent production reporting.**Barro Alto Nickel Mine (Brazil)**At **Anglo American’s Barro Alto Nickel Mine**, the AMIRA Code likely plays a critical role in ensuring accurate metal balancing and reporting. Barro Alto uses both pyrometallurgical processes (such as smelting) and hydrometallurgical processes to extract nickel from lateritic ores. By applying the AMIRA Code, the mine can track nickel flow from ore extraction through to final product, ensuring that recovery rates are maximized and that production data is accurate and transparent. The code also assists in the optimization of smelting and refining operations, reducing metal losses and improving overall efficiency.**Codemin Nickel Refinery (Brazil)**The **Codemin Nickel Refinery**, also owned by Anglo American, processes nickel concentrate and produces high-purity nickel metal. The AMIRA Code helps ensure that all stages of the process—from concentrate feeding to final nickel production—are rigorously monitored and reconciled. Accurate material flow tracking and regular reconciliation of input materials and outputs ensure that production is optimized and losses are minimized, enhancing the financial and operational performance of the refinery.The application of the **AMIRA Code of Practice for Metal Accounting** in nickel operations is essential
