gold mining is no longer as critical since the development of CIP technology. This process can efficiently utilise hypersaline waters (eg. many gold mines in Western Australia). As there is no consistency in reporting waters of various sources or quality, the data are presented as

Hypersaline water of the Western Australia Goldfields The processing of gold ores within the Goldfields Kalgoorlie region of Western Australia is commonly performed in waters classified as hypersaline with magnesium and TDS levels up to 10,000 mg/L and 280,000 mg/L respectively (Landgate 2015, Kern, 1995). According to Landgate (2015), hypersaline

Wildlife and livestock that ingest bioavailable cyanide compounds in gold mining tailings dams are known to experience cyanide toxicosis. Elevated levels of salinity in open impoundments have been shown to prevent wildlife cyanide toxicosis by reducing drinking and foraging. This finding appears to …
