Cyanide Management for Gold Processing Operations

Cyanide is central to gold recovery across the continent, yet its handling demands rigorous safety, environmental and community safeguards. This programme helps process and safety teams manage cyanide from delivery and storage through leaching, detoxification and emergency response. Delegates align their practices with responsible cyanide management expectations and local regulatory duties.
