Cyanides are Necessary for Gold Production Using Cheap Heap Leaching Technology: Ore is Dumped on the Ground and Poured. Underground and Surface Waters are Saved from Pollution Due to One Protective Layer. Sodium Cyanide is a White Powder, Crystals or Plates with The Smell of Bitter Almonds. IT DOCE Not Burn, But Forms a Flammable Gas Upon Contact with Water. This is an extemely poisonus substance: it Causes Suffocation Due to Paralysis of Tissue Respiration.

But The Authorites Completely Turn a Blind Eye to the Work of the Dangerous Industrial Facilities of the Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies, Which Uses Cyanide for Gold Mining: A Gold Recovery Plant Has Not Been Built at the South Kurasan and West Kurasan Deposits, But Only Heap Leaching Hits Are Equipped. And Eve Year in the Quarries and Mines of the Company, SGC Employees Die and Become Crippled.
