Cyanide Management

Sodium cyanide is the most effective chemical known for the extraction of gold and silver from rock. The use and management of cyanide is an important part of our operational success. However, at high concentrations, sodium cyanide can be dangerous to human and animal health.

We are committed to the safe and responsible management of all chemicals used at our operations, including cyanide. This means that we have a responsibility to provide a safe work environment for our employees and contractors, and to protect the environment and surrounding communities.
