The 2023 World Gold Conference, held in Shenyang, China, from September 4 to 7, offered a compelling platform for the mining industry to address critical issues surrounding cyanide management and environmentally responsible gold extraction. The paper, titled A review of cyanide destruction processes from laboratory and plant evaluations, shone a spotlight on the pressing issue of cyanide destruction. The discussions and papers presented during the event provided valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of the gold mining industry. In the Maelgwyn paper, Botes and his team conducted three laboratory and on-site cyanide destruction test campaigns, evaluating both solution and slurry streams, with a particular focus on two cyanide destruction processes - Sulphur Dioxide (INCO) and Hydrogen Peroxide. The World Gold Conference 2023 also served as a valuable networking opportunity, facilitating meaningful interactions between industry professionals.
