Gold recovered by dangerous substance mercury

This gold of 0.58 grams was recovered by dangerous poisonous mercury on the mining site. The whole process was done by children.

We do not approve of children working on the mining site. Especially we do not approve of the mercury usage that may cause cancer and other diseases to these children.

We are devising the plan for the improvement of this mining site.

• 0.58 grams of gold on the balance
  This is 0.58 grams of gold on the pocket scale.
• 0.58 grams of gold obtained by children after processing with mercury
  This is 0.58 grams of gold obtained by children after processing with mercury. Mercury have been burnt into the air. The air is polluted. Children are in constant contact with mercury. This is the condition we have found. We are to improve this condition by talks, descriptions and awareness about the dangers of mercury and also about the methods on how to recover gold without it.
• Gas heater for burning of mercury into the air, pollution everywhere
  This gas heater is used to burn the mercury so that it evaporates directly into the air. As soon as we take over this location, on this ground and area of the land we will forbid burning of the mercury and usage of the mercury. All processing and final gold recovery may be done without mercury. Gold concentrates may be dried, it may be nicely separated from black sand, and gold may be measured on the balance scale without using a single drop of mercury. The other problem is that material is already…
• Gold slightly amalgamated with mercury
  This is gold. It has been slightly amalgamated with mercury, thus there is silver color. Children were washing just few basins of material after crushing and obtained more than 0.50 grams in total.
