RE:RE:CYANIDE now banned in Costa Rica, is Newlox next?Newlox is using cyanide, period. There is only one cyanide. Cyanide is a chemical compound (NaCN). You are attempting to mislead the investors and shareholders on this board.
There is no such thing as "organic natural cyanide" made from plants. There may be some universities that have done research on plants that contain minute traces of cyanide compounds such as fruit seeds and cassava roots. These all contain trace amounts of cyanogenic glycosides which are fatal only if taken in large quantities and are NOT effective as a reagent to dissolve metals.
Even if an extraction method is developed, the glycosides still need to be broken down into cyanide (NaCN) to become an effective reagent. If this stage is successful, the resulting cyanide would be the same as standard cyanide and would be subject to all of the same risks, permitting processes, and prohibitions.
Given the complex and costly nature of the proposed process, it is highly doubtful that it would ever become a commercially viable alternative to conventional cyanide.
