The Company’s contractor uses only biodegradable additives
such as mud and polymers for diamond drilling.
The 150-tonne per day gold recovery plant uses only two flotation
reagents, both of which are quickly broken down in the tailing
pond. The plant specifically does not use either mercury amalgamation
or cyanidation.
The Doña Amelia gold mineralization is highly oxidized,
and both the ore and the plant tailing contain virtually no
sulfides. The tailing therefore has no potential to become
acid generating. |
