Gold CIL & CIP Gold Leaching Process Explained CCD
Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process … See more

Gold Ore Roasting Plant
Both problems are addressed by roasting the finely ground ore in two roasters to produce a calcine with very low sulfur and carbon contents that is amenable to gold recovery in a conventional CIL (carbon and Leach) plant. Offgas created from roasting is cleaned with a series of scrubbers and Mercury is separated and collected in tanks.

Cyanide-free gold recovery
A commerative gold ingot from the first gold pour using our cyanide-free recovery method. The infrastructure for a processing plant that uses cyanidation typically costs $30 million, and is therefore, a barrier to entry for gold miners with smaller deposits that do not fit into the large-scale economies of gold production.
