Testing over the past three years has shown that EnviroMetal Technologies Inc.'s proprietary formula offers an environmentally sound alternative to cyanide for leaching gold from high-grade ore, concentrates, and recycled electronics. A new breakthrough by the British Columbia-based company could make this non-cyanide gold leaching process an option for operations with lower-grade ore and concentrates. "We are extremely encouraged with our latest breakthrough; it has the...
EnviroMetal Technologies Inc. is ramping up the commissioning of a pilot plant to demonstrate the commercial viability of a technology that offers a more environmentally sound alternative to cyanide for leaching gold from ore, concentrates, and recycled electronics. EnviroMetal's innovative gold recovery technology uses a blend of five ingredients that individually are FDA approved for human consumption but together can dissolve gold. Once in solution, the gold can be...
Canada's Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator has awarded EnviroMetal Technologies Inc. up to C$1.74 million toward the commercialization of a much more environmentally sound alternative to cyanide for leaching gold from ore, concentrates, and other feedstocks. EnviroMetal's potentially game-changing metals recovery technology is based on a proprietary blend of five ingredients that are FDA approved for human consumption that can dissolve gold contained in ores,...
Broadening the potential applications of its environmentally sustainable metal leaching formula, EnviroMetal Technologies Inc. reports that it has successfully extracted 221 ounces of gold from roughly 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of dust collected in baghouse filters from a Canadian gold producer. The company says this milestone demonstrates the effectiveness of its proprietary non-cyanide formula in recovering exceptionally high-grade gold from otherwise difficult to process...
In spite of its toxic and corrosive reputation, cyanide has been the go-to chemical for gold recovery since 1890 due to its unmatched ability to dissolve the precious metal into a solution. Or, more precisely, previously unmatched ability to recover gold. A new, more environmentally sound formula has been developed in Canada that rivals and sometimes even exceeds cyanide gold recovery, according to tests carried out by world-leading analytical firm SGS. Developed by...
