THE ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CASE FOR RECOVERING CYANIDE FROM GOLD PLANT TAILINGS DR CHRIS A FLEMING PH D SGS ABSTRACT The ability to recover cyanide from gold plant tailings has been known almost as long as the cyanidation process has been practiced but there has been little incentive to process tailings in this way in the past
