Can an employer impose a no access rule against me a full year after termination?

I was terminated last year from a mining company. I recently applied to another company that does business with the first company. They were told by an HR rep of the mining company that I was on a “no access” list forcing them to resend there offer of employment. After looking into this I discovered that the request to put me on the no access list was put in only after the prospective employer inquired about me, a full year after my termination. There is no information in any of the available company code of business policies that states what deserves any “no access”.

Yes, they may do this. The law does not require that former employees be given access to their former employer's worksites, or be allowed to work with the former employer, including for a vendor, contractor, or partner of that company. Since there is no legal obligation to provide you access, they can elect to prevent or bar access at any time, including a year or more after termination.
