3 Sodium Cyanide is a Critical Enabler of Gold Mining
Leaching Crushed ore WHAT DOES SODIUM CYANIDE DO? • Used to extract gold and silver during ore processing Leaching pad • 90% of gold production globally utilizes sodium Processing cyanide (NaCN) – Lowest environmental impact among alternative * Carbon columns Sodium Cyanide gold ore processing methods • NaCN growth driven by: Refining – Increasing consumption rates per ton of ore processed as average gold content in ores declines globally – Increasing ore tonnage processed as gold content in ores declines globally Smelter doré Refinery Gold – Independent of gold price * Source: European Commission Sodium Cyanide Is the Most Economically Viable and Environmentally Sustainable Technology for Gold Ore Processing
