JV Video: Dundee Sustainable Technologies sees cyanide-free future

Dundee Sustainable Technologies is confident its cyanide-free processing technique can match cyanidation for metals recovery rates, vice-president Brent Johnson says in a new video.

As many jurisdictions move to limit or ban cyanide, Dundee Sustainable is touting its CLEVR technology as a viable alternative to gold extraction that eliminates downstream risks, Johnson, the company’s VP of environmental performance and sustainability, said at The Northern Miner‘s London Symposium last month.

“We see this as the future,” he said. “We’re encouraging industry to send us samples of your nastier stuff. We can almost guarantee we can match recovery or better it. We will always do a side-by-side comparison with cyanidation.”

Johnson spoke with Colin McClelland, The Northern Miner‘s interim editor-in-chief. Watch the full conversation below. Joint venture videos are paid-for content in arrangement with The Northern Miner.
