RE:Update: Newlox Gold Admits to Toxic Cyanide Use Breaking News: this is published exactly nowhere except here. Is anyone really surprised at this point? It seems you wasted so much time on me over the last week Newloxlurker that the company was able to get ahead of you and very clearly address your 'concerns' before you got a chance to be further disingenuous. Here is the relevant paragraph in the news release, (actually) published on Oct 26,2021; days before your current hatchet job:
"The joint project benefits both parties, as Newlox will outsource all mining to its local partners while providing them with modern, environmentally sustainable, and effective mercury-free mineral processing.
The Boston project is fully permitted under existing mining codes, inclusive of the use of necessary chemicals utilized in the gold and silver recovery process, while eliminating the use of mercury."
The full release can be found here:
Newlox Gold Partners Begin Mining the Historic Boston Mine, Costa Rica - Oct 26, 2021 I really showed up at a bad time for you didn't I? At no point that I could find has Newlox Gold
ever claimed to be (your quote)
"broadly endorsing itself, and its technologies, as a “green and safe” alternative to toxic cyanide."
Broadly, as in often or I dare say nearly all-the-time, should be pretty easy to find and cite for all to see, yet Newloxlurker has repeatedly declined to do so. That's because such supposedly common declarations exist nowhere but in Newloxlurker's head.
Go ahead Newloxlurker, prove me wrong.
I think we've beat the 'Merrill-Crowe Process' horse to death at this point, but I like to think you didn't actually realize it at the time and really thought you had something solid there when you started this whole gambit. To those just tuning in, Newlox Gold has made exactly no effort to hide the fact that cyanidation is part of the process to those who understand conventional mining processes and chemistry.
References (gasp!) to company literature and a process flowchart on it's website, under Environmental Reclamation, can be found here:

Newlox Gold Process Flow Chart - Note the Carbon Loading Tank which is there for Carbon-in-Leach and part of the gold cyanidation process The silent viewers will further note the total lack of references where the company supposedly claimed widespread on-site application of DSMO, cassava root extracts, or Organic Aqua Regia techniques beyond laboratory testing. But don't hold your breath for a flurry of evidence from Newloxlurker on this either because they know they lying through their teeth.
So once again here we are Lurker; locked together until the end. I for one am happy you didn't give up after being so thoroughly trounced for the pleasure of this board the last several times. I was beginning to miss our little moments together.
