State officials said the Back Forty Project would be Michigan’s first open-pit metallic sulfide mine. It would include the requisite pile of mine tailings and a processing plant where rocks would be pulverized. Cyanide would be used to extract gold from the crushed rock

What advantage would Haber's process have in the open pit metallic sulfide mining planned here? Is there an environmental advantage? Can the Haber process pull out the other metals they are after besides gold in a faster, more efficient manner? Does Haber's lab have a tract record recovering other metals?
ReplyDeletewe would not have to have a tailings pond since we use no toxins and other metals are segregated and contained separately from the gold in our process. We have conducted test runs successfully in the lab.
ReplyDeleteWe are focused only in processing gold ore at present.
