GlyCat™

GlyCat™ – An Innovative Approach to Metal Leaching

GlyCat™, developed by Draslovka, is an innovative leaching technique that ingeniously blends glycine, an environmentally friendly and biodegradable substance, with sodium cyanide. This unique combination is particularly effective for extracting precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum group metals (PGM's).

What sets GlyCat™ apart is its ability to significantly reduce cyanide usage while enhancing metal recovery, potentially reducing or even eliminating the necessity for cyanide detoxification. This efficiency is attributed to glycine's selective leaching properties, effectively targeting specific base and precious metals while limiting the dissolution of harmful contaminants such as arsenic and mercury.

Key Advantages of GlyCat™ in Sustainable Metal Processing:

• Dramatically cuts down sodium cyanide usage by as much as 90%, varying with ore type.
• Leads to an estimated 10-25% decrease in overall processing expenses.
• Diminishes or removes the need for cyanide detoxification processes.
• Ensures minimal dissolution of disruptive elements like iron, mercury, and arsenic.
• Enhances leaching efficiency and metal recovery, particularly effective with minerals like tellurides.
• Compatible with existing CIL/CIP systems, offering an easy integration as a drop-in reagent.
• Utilizes conventional processes for metal recovery.
• Exclusive, patented technology accessible solely through Draslovka.

GlyCat™ is not just a technological breakthrough but also a stride towards environmentally responsible metal extraction, aligning with modern ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
