News at AZMET

AZMET has successfully commissioned their first DR Plant in Indonesia with a second plant under construction in the same country. This is testament of AZMET's constant drive to expand our global footprint as a value-added technology and products company in gold beneficiation.


The AZTEC Cyanide Reduction Process (AZ-CRP®) is a revolutionary approach to cyanide management in gold and metal processing. Unlike traditional cyanide detox methods that simply reduce cyanide concentrations in tailings, the AZ-CRP not only detoxifies but also enables additional gold recovery from discharged tailings, enhancing both environmental compliance and profitability. Developed with a focus on sustainability and cost-effectiveness, the AZ-CRP aligns with global environmental regulations and minimises safety risks associated with high cyanide concentrations.

By incorporating proven technologies from over a century of gold and metal processing experience, the AZ-CRP offers a simpler, more economical solution compared to conventional cyanide detoxification and recovery processes. This innovative circuit utilises a combination of patented Up-Flow Reactors, copper-cyanide complex adsorption, and precipitation techniques to efficiently manage cyanide levels while maximising gold recovery.

Unique Features of the AZ-CRP

  • Maximise Efficiency and Reduce Costs
  • Enhanced Gold and Copper Recovery
  • Cost-Effective Process
  • Environmental Compliance
  1. Additional recovery of gold and other precious metals in the tails.
  2. Recovery of valuable base metal by-products.
  3. Reduction and recovery of cyanide in tails stream which is recycled.
  4. Use reagents that are already part of the gold process.
  5. Leach tails do not require additional cyanide destruction.


Where do you start as the client?

Implementation of the AZ-CRP, at an existing gold operation, will start with onsite cyanide reduction testwork to establish the optimal process conditions. The testwork will be followed by a high-level financial (CAPEX and OPEX) evaluation to indicate the financial impact of the AZ-CRP on the operation with the NPV, IRR and payback as deliverables. After finalisation of the testwork, the design and implementation of the full AZ-CRP plant will follow.
