No, and neither does the mining industry. After they complete the heap leaching they continue to saturate the pile with chemicals which neutralize any residual cyanide. Next, the heap leach pile is covered with soil and reseeded. These companies have to post bonds and they can't be released until they can prove that the cyanide has been neutralized and the pile has reached a maintainable state of revegetation. These people have a very different opinion on how well the chemicals neutralize the cyanide. mineralpolicy.org./ Tim, Have your ever heard of a truck carrying cyanide to a mine running off a bridge and dumping 2 tons of cyanide into a river? Starting to see how the debate will go? If HGP works the government will have no choice but to ban the use of cyanide.
