I'm wondering if it's possible to extract gold from ores without using cyanide, which is known to be highly toxic. Are there any alternative methods that are both effective and environmentally friendly?

Thiosulphate is capable of dissolving fine gold out of ores, specifically the gold that has not been recovered by gravity methods.
