The free cyanide levels of the dam and borehole water samples range from ± to ± mg/L and ± to ± mg/L respectively Table 1 Moreover the free cyanide levels of the borehole samples appeared to be higher than those of the dam samples because cyanide might leach into the subsurface groundwater and hence cause an increase in the cyanide concentration
