A Little Sunday Reading: Mercury Contamination.
Mercury contamination in the environment is a very real problem with significant repercussions for the local ecosystem, including the communities that rely on the local food web to survive. Here are few links to really hammer home just how bad the issue is and why helping to clean up mercury contaminated tailings, while making a profit at the same time, makes Newlox Gold a solid ESG company worth investing in:
