In some of the most remote locations, under some of the harshest environments, have you considered how to manage some of the most hazardous waste types generated through the process of mining?

Cyanide is one of the most toxic elements generated from mining gold. This case study explores one of the largest gold mines in the world and how they manage it.

Gold may be the last thing that you think of when considering the uses of incineration. Found everywhere, from Jewellery to hidden deep inside your smartphone, we all know that Gold is mined, but what is not such common knowledge is the processes involved in extracting the gold cleanly from the land.

Incineration is actively used on many mining (and oil and gas) sites, typically to manage the waste generated from day-to-day operations. This ensures the operation can adhere to its own environmental credentials but also those placed upon it typically governed by its operating permit.
