Cima Yes using cyanide in a placer is a big question of economics. You have to destroy the cyanide in the tailing which can be expensive. They would put the tailings through a process that destroys the cyanide like the INCO process. This is just one of the systems I am familiar with. They use sulfur dioxide to destroy the cyanide. One of the by products from this process is Sulfuric acid. So now you have another problem to get rid of. Now for the reason for using cyanide. I thought Guido said that there were two pay areas. Fine fraction and coarse fraction which i am thinking is the gravels/cobbles. My understanding is that the cobbles would need to go through a crushing process to liberate the gold. Leaching with cyanide might be the best option at this point to remove gold from the coarser fraction. Economics still is the big player here. It was nice meeting you in Denver last weekend. Hope to talk to you soon. Steveww
