On October 16, 2001, a tailings dam burst at the Tarkwa gold mine in the Wassa West District of Ghana sending thousands of cubic meters of mine waste into the Asuman River and contaminating it with cyanide and heavy metals. The Tarkwa mine is operated by Gold Fields Ghana, a South African gold mining company. The disaster left more than one thousand people without access to drinking water
Anderson and Whitcomb, 2016). This paper seeks to perform cyanide amenability studies using Design of Experiment (DOE) to optimize operational parameters such as particle size, cyanide concentration and leaching time of three (3) gold ore samples obtained from a mining company in Ghana; Prestea Underground pit ore

Environmental, Social amp; Corporate Governance. In October 2001 a tailings dam ruptured at the company''s Tarkwa Gold Mine in Ghana resulting in thousands of cubic metres of mine waste water spilling into the Asuman River and resulting in the death of significant marine life. While acknowledging the cyanide spill the company stated at the time that the spill did not affect human health or safety.
The Tarkwa Gold Mine was initially certified in full compliance with the Cyanide Code in June 2008, and recertified in October 2011 and in June 2015. As required under the Cyanide Code, the mine was again audited against ICMI''s Verification Protocol within three years of its previous certification by independent professional thirdparty auditors.
Founded in 2016, CyanoGuard is Swissbased chemtech startup dedicated to shaping the future of cyanide detection, monitoring and optimization for gold mining applications. The novelty of
In 1961, production restarted under the State Gold Mining Corporation and in 1963 the Tarkwa mines were renamed Tarkwa Goldfields Limited. The Apinto shaft was sunk in the midseventies. GFG signed a management contract with the Ghanaian government to operate the mine in 1993, and in 1996 completed an FS on an open pit/heap leach operation.
Gold Fields has been extremely successful in Ghana with its Tarkwa and Damang mines, a concern he pointed out in 2016: The bottomline remains that gold exploration and mining in West Africa is thriving in sharp contrast to the sorry situation in South Africa where junior miners fear to tread.
#0183;#32;Gold Fields Ghana Ltd (GFG) owns interest in the Tarkwa operation in Ghana. Gold Fields Limited owns 90% interest in Gold Fields Ghana Limited and the remain 10% is held by the government of Ghana, as required under the mining law of Ghana.

Cyanide''s efficiency makes mining more wasteful. Because cyanide leaching is very efficient, it allows profitable mining of much lower ore grades. Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used;
Ghana, a small West African gold mining country, has not been spared these unfortunate incidences. In the last decade and a half, eight incidents of cyanide spills have occurred. The most recent, in October 2001, was at Gold Fields Ghana Ltd in Tarkwa.
Abstract: Gold mining has played an important role in Ghanas economy, however the negative environmental and socioeconomic effects on the host communities associated with gold mining have
Tarkwa is a large, established open pit gold mine that utilises selective surface mining methods to optimise the extraction of the sedimentary mineral deposits. The mine operates its own load and haul fleet of 14 excavators, ranging from 120 to 295 tons, 44 dump trucks with a payload of 144 tons as well as ancillary equipment.
