Quebec Firm Pioneers Cyanide-Free Gold Extraction and Arsenic Capture to Clean up Mining Industry
A Quebec-based company has developed a new method for extracting gold without using cyanide, reducing environmental risks in mining. The process also captures and transforms arsenic into a stable, non-toxic glass material. This innovation offers a safer alternative to traditional mining practices and could help the industry meet stricter environmental standards. The technology is currently being tested at an industrial plant in Thetford Mines.
