The human health effects due to cyanide leach gold mining are not well documented and this is no exception in Montana The State of Montana has done no formal studies to specifically study mine related health effects Pegasus the last mining company at Zortman Landusky started to fund a health study with the $ million supplemental money from the 1996 settlement but because
Cyanide poisoning may occur as the result of accidental exposure in the occupational setting There are no distinct signs and symptoms suggestive of cyanide poisoning other than the odour of almonds on the patient s breath yet this is frequently absent even in case of severe poisoning The patient seldom survives many hours The prevention of death demands a quick diagnosis and the

Traditionally gold mining has depended on harsh chemicals such as cyanide and mercury to extract gold from ore This has left our planet with a legacy of toxic waste which is harmful to health and the environment For over 50 years the industry and leading research institutions have been trying to find such an alternative without much success
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 2021 The process to concentrate gold using cyanide was developed in Scotland in 1887 and was used almost immediately in the Witwatersrand gold fields of the Republic of South Africa
Cyanide is used in mining to extract gold and silver from ores particularly in low grade ores or ores that can not be readily treated through simple physical processes such as gravity While cyanide bearing solutions are used in mining because they react with gold they also react with other metals such as Cu Zn Co and Hg These reactions form weak cyanide complexes often referred to as
Researchers remove cyanide from gold leaching process Researchers from Curtin University have delivered a technology that will significantly enhance
