RESPONSIBLE MINING

The Clean Mining gold recovery process, developed by Australia’s CSIRO, replaces cyanide and mercury with a safer, less hazardous chemical reagent. This alternative gold recovery solution is non-toxic and dissolves fine gold out of ores into a solution, which can then be recovered through further processing.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTION
What is our non-toxic solution?
This gold recovery agent is an inorganic compound – non-toxic, non-flammable and water soluble. While others have identified similar compounds previously, the Clean Mining technology, developed by the CSIRO, is applicable to a range of ores for responsible mining operators.
Clean Mining technology is particularly attractive to socially and environmentally responsible junior producers who don’t want the compliance and rehabilitation costs associated with cyanide. Clean Mining, for example, offers a mobile/transportable and scalable plant design that is ideally suited to small, high-grade deposits that might otherwise be stranded.
