A company that manufactures and provides the best solution for safe and efficient cyanide monitoring and management within the mining industry. Their mission is to minimize toxic reagent usage, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve precious metal recoveries for gold mines by providing a reliable, user-friendly, and intelligent real-time cyanide monitoring and optimization solution.
