A CRMA actor term for an undertaking or consortium developing a raw material project.
Project promoter identifies the party developing a raw material project. It is an actor term connected to project development, not a label for every supplier, operator, public authority or buyer involved in the raw-materials value chain.
This page is anchored in CRMA Article 2, point 17. The project promoter is tied to development of a raw material project and is not automatically the operator, buyer or public authority connected to the project.

Use project promoter when classifying who is developing a CRMA-relevant raw material project, especially when linking project records to permitting, offtake agreements, capacity contribution or strategic-project assessment. The term helps keep developer identity separate from buyer, facility-operator, authority and investor roles.
Project evidence often mixes actor roles: the developer, facility operator, buyer, funder and permitting authority may all appear in the same file set. Treating project promoter as the CRMA development actor helps Minespider-style systems attach documents and responsibilities to the right party without overstating control or approval status.
