[Minerals]Conflict/Responsible Minerals Update: EMRT 2.1 & AMRT 1.3

28 Oct 2025

On October 17, 2025, the Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) 2.1 and the Additional Minerals Reporting Template (AMRT) 1.3 were released through the RMI (Responsible Minerals Initiative) website. It is recommended to use the latest versions when conducting mineral reporting.
This article outlines the major updates introduced in each template.


EMRT (Extended Minerals Reporting Template) 2.1

The EMRT is a reporting template used for smelter disclosure related to Cobalt, Mica, Copper, Graphite (natural), Lithium, and Nickel. The main updates are as follows:

  • Declaration Tab: Addition of an explanatory note

    • Since the reporting scope is optional, this note was likely added to ensure that the preparer clearly understands that the form will change depending on the minerals selected.

    • Added Explanation Text: “The minerals selected here are reflected in questions 1–7 and C, and will be sorted in alphabetical order. Please ensure that the answers match the intended minerals.”

  • Product List tab: New columns related to the requestor’s product information

    • New column names: Requestor Product Number & Requestor Product Name

  • Smelter Look-up tab: Updated smelter information


AMRT (Additional Minerals Reporting Template) 1.3

The AMRT was developed to support the supply chain tracing and reporting of additional key minerals beyond those covered by the CMRT and EMRT. The main updates are as follows:

  • Declaration tab: Added explanatory text within the mineral reporting scope selection field &  Modified the method for selecting the mineral reporting scope

    • Explanation text: “The minerals entered here are reflected in questions 1–2 and will be sorted in alphabetical order. Please ensure that the answers match the intended minerals.”

    • Mineral Reporting Scope – Previous: Manual entry

    • Mineral Reporting Scope – New: Selection from a predefined list

    • Available mineral options: Aluminum, Iridium, Lime, Manganese, Palladium, Platinum, Rare Earth Elements, Rhodium, Ruthenium, Silver, Soda Ash, Zinc, and Other
