The Operational Challenge

Why standard off-the-shelf solutions fail in mining.

Ores containing naturally occurring organic carbon or reactive clays suffer from severe preg-robbing if leaching occurs prior to carbon contact, irreversibly locking dissolved gold in tailings.

The Green Ngoria Engineering GuaranteeEvery flowsheet, tank geometry, and equipment configuration is validated through real laboratory testwork and mass-balanced for your specific ore lithology.

Systematic Execution

Our Engineering & Delivery Approach

We combine analytical process modeling with hands-on site metallurgy to achieve verified operational results.

01

Simultaneous cyanide dissolution and carbon adsorption to outcompete natural mineral preg-robbers instantly.

02

Optimize counter-current carbon concentration profiles across tanks (12 to 20 g/L) to maximize gold loading kinetics.

03

Automated dissolved oxygen sparging and cyanide dosing controls to maintain steady cyanide leach kinetics.

04

Turnkey mechanical and electrical installation with robust HSE cyanide containment protocols.
