  • Cyanide Assessment Package

    Cyanco’s Cyanide Assessment Package helps mines track information related to the use and application of cyanide. We evaluate the product flow from the time it enters the gate, through leaching and detoxification, making operational and safety recommendations all along the way.

  • Comprehensive Site Survey

    These surveys represent our commitment to product stewardship and the supporting tenets of the International Cyanide Management Institute by ensuring cyanide is being handled properly and best-in-class safety standards are in place.

  • Train the Trainer

    Cyanco offers an annual Train-the-Trainers session at our production facilities in Nevada. Mine safety and operating personnel are invited to take advantage of our cyanide safety and emergency response training sessions. When complete, your mine trainers will take home current cyanide safety training materials to share with their teams.

  • Emergency Response Planning

    In addition to providing safety training for mine personnel, Cyanco also trains local first responders, hospital personnel and municipal authorities to be sure that local communities also understand and implement the safety and handling protocols that are used at the mine.
