goldplat is classed as a miner, however, its recovery operations are the real green aspect to the business. They take waste product from the mining industry, extract the gold that has become embedded in it and dispose of the waste in an environmentally safe manner.
Gold miners are obliged to dispose of their waste in an environmentally friendly way - that is where goldplat comes in.
Goldplat still has the recommendation from the ghana govt, as the first choice for ghanaian miners to send waste to, to be processed .
The company does mine clean ups, where they send a team in, clear up everything, ship it back to goldplat sites, process and recover gold.
They are also involved in the mercury clean up in ghana, re minmata - they started a pilot project, but that got halted, as the state wanted the outcome of the steering committee to be known and implemented first on the clear up of mercury from mining sites etc.
Goldplat used to process platinum minning waste and extract platinum years ago, so they have the know how to do it again, as indicated in the update.
The tailings facility that has at least 81k oz in it, was measured during late 2015 and they are still using the same facility to put more material in - so there is another four years worth of gold bearing tailings been added to this facility since the report was published.
