BALDRIGE: They will last for the <br />6 life of the project, yes. <br />7 UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: What happens iF <br />8 the tanks rupture? <br />9 MS. BALDRIGE: If the tanks rupture, the <br />10 curbing -- the concrete pad has curbing which will <br />11 contain anything that comes out of the tanks in the <br />12 event of a rupture. The curbing is put there to <br />13 provide containment in the event of a leak or spill <br />14 of any solution or slurry from that. <br />15 UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: If there is a <br />16 problem with the curbing -- <br />17 MS. BALDRIGE: If there's a problem with <br />18 the curbing, all the drainage is directed from the <br />19 saddle area into the tailings facility area. After <br />20 the gold is removed from the slurry, the slurry will <br />21 be treated using sulfuric acid to lower tine pH and <br />22 volatilize the cyanide. <br />23 ,lust by way of explanation, ac3ueous <br />24 cyanide is not a stable compound once the pH drops <br />25 below about 9-1/2, and it will begin to volatilize <br />AGREN, BLANDO & BILLINGS <br />
