## About

Founded in 2016 and based in Zurich, Switzerland, Cyanoguard AG develops and manufactures cyanide monitoring solutions for mining enterprises. Benedikt Kirchgässler is the founder and CEO of the company. In April 2020, Cyanoguard AG received an undisclosed amount of grant funding from the European Union, and in March 2021, the firm raised USD 0.5 million from Newlab’s Prospect Mining Studio.

The company's products include Cyano.iO® for monitoring cyanide consumption, CyanoKit® for cyanide testing, and CyanoSmart® for mobile quantitative cyanide monitoring. The firm has developed and commercialized its next-generation cyanide monitoring solution, a comprehensive digital platform enabling rapid toxin detection to make gold mining more efficient and environmentally friendly.

CyanoGuard plans to use the March 2021 funding to further develop its first-of-its-kind cyanide monitoring and optimization technology platform and scale its customer base in the global gold mining industry.
