GlyCat™
Leaching Gold and Silver

The GlyCat™ process can reduce cyanide consumption while minimizing or eliminating the need for cyanide detoxification. This is because glycine selectively leaches precious metals with minimal dissolution of contaminants like arsenic and mercury. According to a recent study conducted by SKARN Associates, GlyCat™ enables a:

  • ~90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions related to cyanide use
  • ~ 35% reduction in carbon intensity of CIL/CIP operations
  • ~14% reduction in carbon intensity of heap leach operations
  • Potential to reduce Scope 2 emissions where cyanide detox facilities are no longer required

GlyCat™ enables substantial ESG benefits and reductions in processing costs by replacing the majority of cyanide with a non-toxic, food-grade reagent:

Reduces sodium cyanide consumption by up to 90% depending on the ore type.

Enables an average reduction in processing costs of 10-50%.

Reduces or eliminates cyanide detoxification requirements.

Minimal dissolution of iron, mercury or arsenic.

Increases efficiency in the leaching process and improves recovery from some minerals such as tellurides.

Easily introduced to existing CIL/CIP and Heap Leach circuits , as it is essentially a drop-in reagent.

Uses “off-the-shelf” processes for recovery.

Proprietary & patented technology available only from Draslovka.
