Abstract. Highly toxic sodium cyanide (NaCN) is used by the international mining community to extract gold and other precious metals through milling of high-grade ores and heap leaching of low-grade ores (Korte et al. 2000). The process to concentrate gold using cyanide was developed in Scotland in 1887 and was used almost immediately in the

· Gold recovery efficiency from operating heap leaches is typically ∼70%, although it can range from 50% to 90%. Silver recovery efficiency is typically ∼55%. Most gold heap leaches apply cyanide within a range of 200–600 mg/L NaCN. Silver-bearing ores should usually be leached with a cyanide level of 600–1000 mg/L NaCN.

· In terms of cyanide saved, at a price of $2.50/kg NaCN, the plant in our example needs only to recover about 50% of the influent copper-bound cyanide to cover operating costs. A properly designed SART plant should routinely recover 80-95% of copper-bound cyanide.
