Enhanced Gold Extraction & Cyanide Reduction

Enhanced Extraction For Precious Minerals

Issue at a Glance

Cyanide leaching is the most effective gold extraction method, but it requires a high consumption of cyanide which can pose severe risks to the environment and to human health. Increasing gold extraction percentages can be environmentally challenging, especially in refractory ores.

Overview of MetaFLO's product

ExtracTech is our advanced biopolymer additive, designed to optimize your precious metal extraction process during cyanidation. With no additional capital outlay, the ExtracTech liquid polymer can be introduced during the cyanidation process without additional equipment. 

As an additive to your existing cyanidation process, ExtracTech can also reduce your cyanide usage by up to 20%.

HOW IT WORKS

Our environmentally friendly polymer, derived from algae, acts as a super-oxidant and breaks the bonds of high ORP minerals in your refractory ore.

When applied, a chemical reaction with the gold particles occurs, leaving the metal of interest more exposed to react with cyanide in the leaching process.
