Eco-Friendly Gold Leaching Agent & Gold Dressing Agent

Jinchan-type metallic ore-dressing agent — a safer, high-efficiency alternative to sodium cyanide for gold extraction, shipped as general cargo with batch COA.

What Is a Gold Leaching Agent?

A gold leaching agent (also called gold dressing agent, gold mining reagent, or in China by the brand-style name Jinchan metallic ore-dressing agent) is a compound reagent that dissolves gold from ore into solution, replacing highly toxic sodium cyanide. It delivers comparable gold dissolution in heap leaching, pool leaching, CIL and CIP circuits while being low-toxicity, environmentally compliant and transportable as general cargo — a decisive advantage for mines in Africa, Southeast Asia, South America and Central Asia where cyanide transport and permitting are restricted.

Why Mines Choose Our Eco-Friendly Gold Dressing Agent

  • Safer than cyanide: low toxicity, no special dangerous-goods handling or escort required in most jurisdictions
  • Lower reagent cost per tonne: competitive consumption vs. sodium cyanide on oxide and mixed ores
  • Wide process window: heap leaching, pool leaching, agitation, CIL / CIP circuits
  • General-cargo shipping: simplifies export logistics and cuts freight cost to remote mine sites
  • Batch COA for every lot: traceable quality, third-party inspection (SGS / BV / Intertek) accepted
  • Technical support: dosing guidance and bottle-roll / column test recommendations for your ore type
