Gold Cyanide. Gold cyanide is the end product of a metallurgical technique called gold cyanidation. In order to make gold cyanide through the process of gold cyanidation, gold needs to be extracted from low-grade ore by converting the gold into a coordination complex, or a metallic complex consisting of a central atom or ion, that is soluble in water.

For extracting gold from low-grade ores, heap leaching is practiced; huge heaps are sprayed with a dilute solution of sodium cyanide, and this percolates down through the piled ore, dissolving the gold. There are very well defined rules for the safe and responsible use of cyanide as laid out in the International Cyanide Code.

The most common solvent is cyanide, which must be combined with oxygen in a process known as carbon-in-pulp. As the cyanide and oxygen react chemically, gold in the pulp dissolves. When workers introduce small carbon grains to the tank, the gold adheres to the carbon. Filtering the pulp through screens separates the gold-bearing carbon.
