How is cyanide used in mining? A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap.

CLS will leach pieces of gold 40 mesh and smaller within 8 to 12 hours. This is a definite advantage over cyanide which can take up to a week to leach 40 mesh gold. This presents a number of trade-offs between CLS and cyanide. In most cases, the CLS leaching system can be built much smaller than the cyanide system.
