The cyanide radical consists of a carbon atom triple bonded to a nitrogen atom, and has a -1 charge. It's CN- as we write it. The only difference between silver and gold cyanide is the silver and the gold. Both precious metals will form a bond with the radical in their +1 valence state, so the observer will see either AgCN or AuCN molecules. The former is, of course, silver cyanide, and the latter is gold cyanide.

Why is lime used in gold mining?

Lime is used extensively in the recovery of gold and silver. Ores, either run of mine, milled, autoclaved, or roasted are combined with lime and a cyanide solution. The cyanide dissolves the gold and silver. Lime maintains proper pH in the cyanide solution keeping it in the liquid phase, preventing the formation of hydrogen cyanide gas and its loss into the atmosphere. hari julka
