Sodium cyanide (NaCN; CAS RN 143-33-9) is used mainly as an extraction agent for precious metals (for example, gold, silver) and to a lesser degree for base metals, and as a result, free cyanide and precursors of free cyanide may be released in the effluent of metal mining facilities that use it.

Mining companies say that cyanide in water quickly becomes harmless. But this is true only when there is lots of sunlight and oxygen. Even then it leaves behind other harmful chemicals. If cyanide is spilled underground, or if the weather is cloudy or rainy, it can remain harmful for a long time, killing fish and plants along rivers and making ...

Together with its historic use up to 1952, the Waihi mining operations have used cyanide since modern operations began in 1988. A substantial database spanning more than 20 years of modern use demonstrates that cyanide can be transported, stored, used and disposed of in a safe manner, with no significant adverse effects on the environment.

Cyanide is often added as a depressant in the flotation of base metal sulphide ores (e.g., iron and copper). Because of its ability to selectively dissolve gold and silver from their ores, the recovery of gold and silver is often associated with cyanide use. Iron cyanide is often used as an anti-caking agent in both table and road salts.

This is because cyanide has a very short half-life, and blood samples are rarely obtained within a short period of time. The most widely employed mining technique in the area is called dog hole mining, which is a tedious and hazardous process. This type of SSGM involves several subprocesses: (1) tunneling, (2) ball milling and gravity ...
