INAP’s objective is to reduce the liability associated with sulphide mine materials. This is pursued in three ways:

1. Networking and Information-sharing
2. Technology Transfer
3. Gap-driven Research

Networking and Information-sharing

The INAP network brings together the most recent acid drainage experience and knowledge and allows us to:

1. Build on existing research and avoid duplication
2. Learn from the achievements and challenges of others
3. Benefit from expert peer review on key acid drainage issues

Technology Transfer

INAP supports and organizes technical transfer activities at different levels. Workshops bring together management and operations personnel from companies around the world, and are instrumental in promoting the implementation of good practice. Capacity building activities for governments and regulatory bodies are also supported by the network. In addition, INAP plays a key role at international events that involve various stakeholder groups, such as the International Conference on Acid Rock Drainage (ICARD).

Research

INAP is increasingly being acknowledged as the leading international acid drainage research group. Research projects are member driven and address the most significant information gaps in the prediction, prevention, management, measurement and treatment of acid drainage. As a network involving a number of companies, INAP also facilitates projects that can only be developed through co-operative efforts.
