SUPER GOLD HORSE® is designed for use in gold processing operations as an alternative reagent to conventional cyanide-based extraction systems. The product can be evaluated for different ore characteristics, processing configurations, and operational objectives.

Its application should be supported by appropriate metallurgical testing to determine suitable dosage, pH, leaching duration, aeration, carbon conditions, and other process parameters.

The Solution

A Non-Cyanide Approach
to Gold Extraction

Gold processing operations increasingly require solutions that consider recovery performance, worker safety, residue characteristics, environmental responsibility, and operational control.

Designed for Site-Specific Process Evaluation

SUPER GOLD HORSE® provides a non-cyanide processing concept that can be evaluated as part of a responsible gold extraction strategy.

Rather than offering a universal process formula, its application is adapted to the mineralogical and metallurgical response of each ore body.

Process evaluation

Four evaluation pillars

Understanding the Solution Concept

Four principles define how SUPER GOLD HORSE® is positioned within a controlled and technically informed gold processing strategy.

01

Non-Cyanide Processing Concept

Designed as an alternative to conventional cyanide-based gold extraction.

02

Process Adaptability

Can be evaluated across different ore types and processing configurations.

03

Controlled Application

Dosage and operating conditions are established through appropriate testing.

04

Responsible Processing Direction

Supports the evaluation of safer and more responsible gold processing practices.

Process Application

Designed for Controlled
Gold Extraction Operations

SUPER GOLD HORSE® is introduced into a controlled leaching system where the reagent interacts with gold-bearing material under defined operating conditions. The dissolved gold can then be recovered through an appropriate downstream process, including carbon adsorption.

Technical implementation Training, Preparation and Process Control

Technical Control from Ore Evaluation to Residue Analysis

The application pathway begins with understanding the ore and continues through controlled preparation, leaching, recovery, and evaluation.

Defined Parameters

Establish operating conditions based on testing and ore response.

Controlled Operation

Monitor pH, duration, aeration, circulation, and process response.

Measured Evaluation

Interpret recovery and residue data according to the conditions tested.

From Ore Characterization to Residue Evaluation

Each stage contributes to a technically controlled evaluation of how the reagent performs with a specific ore and processing setup.

01
Ore analysis

Ore Characterization

Evaluate ore grade, mineralogy, particle size, and metallurgical response.

02
Setup

Process Preparation

Prepare water, ore, pH conditions, aeration, and supporting equipment.

03
Reagent dosing

SGH® Application

Add the reagent according to the dosage established during testing.

04
Leaching

Controlled Leaching

Monitor pH, duration, solution circulation, and process response.

05
Downstream

Gold Recovery

Recover dissolved gold through carbon adsorption or another suitable system.

06
Analysis

Residue Evaluation

Analyze the resulting residue and solution according to relevant test parameters.

Multiple Pathways for Technical Evaluation

SUPER GOLD HORSE® can be evaluated within several processing configurations. The appropriate pathway depends on the ore characteristics, operating scale, equipment, and testing objectives.

01 Tank Leaching
02 Carbon-in-Pulp or CIP
03 Carbon-in-Leach or CIL
04 Heap Leaching
05 Laboratory Bottle-Roll Testing
06 Pilot-Scale Processing
Responsible Processing

Performance Must Be Evaluated Together with Process Responsibility

A responsible processing decision should not be based only on gold recovery. It should also consider reagent handling, worker exposure, process stability, water management, residue characteristics, operating procedures, and site-specific environmental requirements.

Beyond recovery performance

Responsible Evaluation Requires a Broader Technical View

Metallurgical recovery is an important performance indicator, but it represents only one part of a processing decision. Operational suitability should be considered together with handling practices, process controls, water management, and residue characteristics.

Performance Metallurgical Response
Responsibility Process Management

Both dimensions should be reviewed under representative and clearly defined operating conditions.

Evaluation framework

Ten Aspects Requiring Technical Consideration

These considerations help build a more complete understanding of reagent performance, operational suitability, and site-specific processing requirements.

01

Metallurgical Recovery

Measure gold recovery according to the tested ore, methodology, and operating conditions.

02

Reagent Consumption

Determine suitable reagent dosage and monitor consumption during the evaluated process.

03

Optimum Operating pH

Establish and maintain the pH range identified through representative testing.

04

Leaching Duration

Evaluate the time required to achieve the observed metallurgical response.

05

Aeration and Dissolved Oxygen

Monitor oxygen availability and aeration as part of the controlled leaching environment.

06

Carbon Adsorption Response

Assess the interaction between the gold-bearing solution and the selected carbon system.

07

Process Water Management

Consider water quality, circulation, containment, reuse, and site-specific management procedures.

08

Residue Characterization

Analyze process residue and solution using relevant test methods and clearly defined sample conditions.

09

Worker Handling Procedures

Establish training, personal protective equipment, storage, handling, and operational procedures.

10

Site-Specific Regulatory Requirements

Review the environmental, operational, and regulatory requirements applicable to each processing site.

Responsible positioning

Part of a Broader Responsible Mining Approach

SUPER GOLD HORSE® is positioned as part of a broader responsible mining approach. Final operating procedures must be based on representative testing, qualified technical evaluation, and the requirements applicable to each processing site.

Technical results should always be interpreted together with the tested sample, methodology, operating parameters, analytical scope, and applicable report limitations.

Technical Evaluation

Evaluate SUPER GOLD HORSE® Using Your Own Ore

Every ore body has a different mineralogical and metallurgical response. Representative laboratory or pilot-scale testing helps determine whether SUPER GOLD HORSE® is suitable for a particular operation and identifies the operating conditions required for further evaluation.

Site-specific approach

Testing connects representative ore data with technically appropriate process decisions.
