If this can be scaled, and is available to most soil/rock types, this could be usable for re-working old tailing piles...

I’m guessing it would also make it easier to reclaim gold from electronics.

The gold involved in this process is mineralized and not in elemental form as in placer deposits. This restricts use of the process to gold telluride mineral deposits in hard rock. As placer miners, the Hoffmans would not benefit.

That’s if it is cost effective. The cyanide process recovers 64% and this one 84%. But will it recover 84% of previously processed ore? So theoretically you get 54% of what is left so that means 23% of the original amount of gold in the previously processed ore is still recoverable. That means that you would have to process roughly 4 times as much previously processed ore to get as much as the first processing.
I think.
