Gold Mining Without Mercury

KENYA

KICK OUT MERCURY. In artisanal and small-scale gold mining, elemental mercury is used. Mercury is combined with gold-containing materials to create a mercury-gold amalgam, which is heated to vaporize the mercury and extract the gold. This procedure is highly hazardous and can result in substantial mercury contamination and health hazards.
