Manipueira Gold Recovery Technology, Inc.
An Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) driven climate action initiative, a technology, and a solution designed to replace mercury, a deadly neurotoxin and cyanide salts used in artisanal ore processing with manipueira, nature’s alternate solution to sustainably recover more gold.
Our Story
Manipueira Gold Recovery Technology, Inc. (MGRT), a Canadian incorporated development Company, is at the forefront of technological advancements in the field of precious metals leaching.
Our proposed Manipueira Leaching Center innovation is designed to process ore and toxic tailings wastes in a sustainable and efficient manner. By harnessing the power of manipueira, a plant-based extract solution derived from the cyanogenic bitter cassava plant, we have discovered a leaching method that outperforms traditional techniques.
Our leaching protocol using manipueira as a lixiviant allows for the extraction of 2-3 times more gold compared to mercury usage, while also enabling faster and cost-effective extraction of gold from toxic tailings wastes and ore without the need for cyanide salts
Approximately 20 million artisanal and small-scale gold (ASG) miners including 4.5 million women and 600,000 children under the age of 15, all largely suspected of having undiagnosed mercury poisoning, use mercury to recover gold from ore and produce an estimated 20% of the world’s annual supply valued at USD $30 billion which is used in our jewellery, computers, iPad, iPhone, and other e-devices.
After extensive research and drawing on the expertise of our peers who are actively combating the mercury-related threats to human health and the devastating impact on global biodiversity caused by the use of mercury in ASGM ore processing, Manipueira Gold firmly believes that addressing this issue on a larger scale is crucial.
Our proposed solution is to shift the focus towards the ore processing centers which collectively process approximately 16 million of the 20 million impoverished ASG miners ore globally using mercury. By doing so, we can effectively mitigate the aforementioned challenges.
