The plaintiff did not get a second chance, and the Montana cyanide ban effectively halted the gold mine that had been planned. In Colorado, Summit County enacted an ordinance banning cyanide or other toxic/acidic chemicals in leaching operations for all zoning districts in the county. The state mining association brought action in state court.
4.2.1 Metal mining. 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.
The Pogo Mine is a large gold mine located in Interior Alaska, which produces around 400,000 ounces of gold per year. This mine is one of the largest producers of mining waste in Alaska, and one of the largest mercury polluters in the country. Mine Information. Pogo Mine began production in 2006 with an anticipated operating life of 10 years.

Officials say cyanide pollution at Victoria Gold's Eagle Mine poses no health risks to Alaskans. But advocates worry it could compound a yearslong salmon crisis on the Yukon River — and should draw new attention to …
cyanide containing solution to the material placed on the heap. The solution is collected and processed through carbon in-pulp columns located next to the mill for gold recovery. Then, the cyanide solution, which is barren of gold, is recycled and re-applied to the heap to leach out more gold. 1.1.1.3 Barnes Creek Valley Heap Leach Facility (BCHLF)
Yukon gold mine at risk of cyanide discharge says company managing clean up By Sara Connors. Nov 26, 2024 . The company managing the takeover of the Eagle Gold Mine on …
Cyanide use in mining Gold typically occurs at very low concentrations in ores – less than 10 g/ton. The most used process for gold extraction is hydrometallurgical recovery (gold cyanidation), which involves a "leaching" step during which the gold is …
The Cyanide Code. The "International Cyanide Management Code For the Manufacture, Transport, and Use of Cyanide In the Production of Gold" (Cyanide Code) is a voluntary, performance driven, certification program of best practices for the management of cyanide in gold and silver mining. Participation is open to gold and silver mining companies, manufacturers of …
This tailings impoundment dam at the Fort Knox gold mine in Alaska is a common method of storing mining waste ... such as the cyanide used in gold mining, remain in the tailings at the end of the process, and may leach …
The gold-mining industry commonly uses the cyanide process to recover gold from complex ore. During the gold cyanidation process, cyanide bearing water will react with sulfide in the ore to form ...
A highly toxic chemical that can be dangerous to humans and wildlife, cyanide use at gold mining operations provokes concern in many jurisdictions. In fact, it was in response to a damaging spill from a tailings pond …
contiguous mining claims. All are Alaska State mining claims. The Pogo claims adjoin, and are contiguous with, the Pogo Upland Mining Lease (ADL 674057). The Pogo and Faith claims are located in the following townships and ranges of the Fairbanks Meridian: T6S, R14E, sections 1-4, 9-15, 22-25, and 36 T5S, R14E, sections 13-16, 21-28, and 33-36
Gold mining is one of the most destructive industries in the world. It can displace communities, contaminate drinking water, hurt workers, and destroy pristine environments. It pollutes water and land with mercury and cyanide, endangering the health of people and ecosystems. Producing gold for one wedding ring alone generates 20 tons of waste.

The Nabesna Gold Mine, on the northern slopes of the Wrangell Mountains, was a profitable operation driven by one man, Carl F. Whitham. ... In 1925, after three years of prospecting on the mountain, Whitham found one of the richest gold veins ever reported in Alaska. Four years later, to raise capital, he organized the Nabesna Mining ...
commercially demonstrated in the gold mining indus-try at the Homestake Gold Mine, USA in the middle 1980s (Mudder & Whitlock 1984). Several other in-vestigations of the microbial destruction of cyanide have been reportedincludinglaboratory,pilot andfull-scale facilities (Adams et al. 2001, Akcil et al. 2003, Atkinson 1975, Barclay et al. 1998 ...
Gold mining in Asia utilizes cyanide to extract gold from ores, and the resulting cyanide-contaminated mine tailings are disposed of in a tailing storage facility (TSF). Nevertheless, several incidents of leakage of cyanide-contaminated water from TSFs have been reported. This study examined the source and assessed health risk of mysterious cyanide …
Introduction. Metal mining is the leading source of toxic releases in Alaska.¹ Uncontrolled mine waste, as well as the processing chemicals used to extract the ore, can be a significant source of pollution to the water, land and air. There are five major operating mines in Alaska: Red Dog zinc-lead mine, Fort Knox gold mine, Pogo gold mine, Kensington gold mine …
Cyanide (CN), a single carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom, has proved extremely useful in extracting gold from ore. However, with a toxic reputation dating back to the Holocaust, its …
The Cyanide Code is being implemented at 133 gold mines including companies that collectively produce approximately 60% of the world's commercially-mined gold, 20 cyanide production and repackaging facilities and 105 transport operations in 48 countries throughout the world; and 173 of these already have been certified in compliance (ICMI 2012).
Gold mines use a number of processes to turn cyanide into the less hazardous cyanate. Treatment options include hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfuric acid, also known as Caro's acid.
