NEVADA – Toronto-based Barrick Gold is the first producer to commercialize thiosulphate recovery of gold, thus eliminating the use of cyanide in the process. The first doré bar – 107 oz – was poured in November 2014 at the Goldstrike mine north of Carlin. Barrick spent more than 20 years perfecting its thiosulphate process.

A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap.

The process for the tailings works begins with the washing of CIP tailings slurry in two CCD wash thickeners using water reclaimed from the tailings pond. This water washing recovers a portion of the cyanide from the tailings slurry for re-use in the gold extraction process. At the same time it reduces the cyanide content requiring destruction.
