Details1. Introduction. Artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM), the source of approximately 20% of the world's gold, is the largest source of mercury (Hg) pollution on earth; contributing approximately 20–30% (Veiga et al., 2006; UNEP, 2005).Roughly10 to 19 million people use mercury to extract gold in more than 70 countries, making mercury …
DetailsCyanide's efficiency makes mining more wasteful. Because cyanide leaching is very efficient, it allows profitable mining of much lower ore grades. Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used;
