:: Commercialisation of Gold Process  

Haber, a process development company with proprietary technology in analytical instrumentation and the processing of gold-bearing ores, has signed a letter of intent with Gold City, Inc. (GCI), a privately held mining company, to commercialise the environmentally safe Haber Gold Process, (HGP). GCI holds both lode and placer claims for gold ores in Nevada and Arizona. It also has contracted to receive gold concentrates from independent mining properties. GCI's claim groups contain ‘flower gold’ and ‘microfine gold’ deposits, both reported to be particularly amenable to extraction using the HGP.

Haber reports that HGP has been found to be very effective for a variety of ores and concentrates and is extremely efficient in extracting micro-fine gold, a major component in placer deposits. HGP is further reported to extract gold in an environmentally safe and nontoxic manner and results in faster processing and greater yields when compared with cyanide or other toxic chemical methods.

Haber says: “Gold nuggets and coarse gold, as well as some of the flower gold in certain placer deposits, ordinarily are mechanically recoverable. However, the balance of the flower gold and microfine gold, which may constitute 30-70% of the total gold content, usually is lost with mechanical recovery systems. Even conventional cyanide methods are inefficient with such fine gold deposits. By contrast, the HGP technology is particularly well suited for fine gold extraction and recovery.”
