Services
Johnejack CN Code Services provides a full range of pre-certification, certification, and support services, as shown below.
Approach
My approach is client-driven, regardless of mining, transportation, or production auditing. It begins with a conversation regarding scope, schedule, and cost. Based on a formal Request for Proposal or an informal discussion, I then submit a proposal to the client, and revise it until it meets the client’s needs.
The scope of work is fixed for formal audit services, such as pre-operational and certification audits, as well as for corrective action planning and completion reporting. The steps and timeline for typical formal audit are shown to the right. Assuming an operation has properly prepared for an audit, the overall duration of approximately 9 to 10 months for the entire process can vary depending on the client’s needs and the size and complexity of the operation.
However, there is considerable flexibility for other informal services to develop a scope of work tailored to the client’s schedule and cost expectations:
-
Some or all cyanide facilities
Some or all Code Standards of Practice
-
Conducted by auditor or by client with auditor review
Remote or onsite
Information sources
Review of consignor evaluations or
Transporter presentations or
Publicly-available information (e.g., websites)
-
A Code-compliant review is the same as a formal audit with exit from the ICMI upon acceptance of the final reports
A Code-consistent review is informal and allows an operation to state it has decommissioned its cyanide facilities in a manner consistent with the Code, as reviewed by a pre-certified auditor
Requires review of decontamination data

Pricing
Pricing depends on the type of audit or service and is estimated based on an agree-upon scope of work and estimated travel costs. As an entrepeneur, however, I am willing to negotiate a discount for portfolios of sites or services.
