A really nasty chemical is often used in gold mining. What is the chemical and why is it used?

I'm pretty sure that's basically it.

Arsenic is common in gold bearing ores, so it is often associated with gold, but it is not used in the process.

Greed.

And if not greed then cyanide.

edit: it is used to separate the gold from the base metals and rock.
