minister of mining being pro-environment does not mean anti-mining. she is against using mercury which gcm does not use. gcm helped clean up all the mercury use by having the artisinal miners as contract workers. segovia mine built a filter press which recycles water, so is not lowering the water table.
Great response to misinformed poster invest234 ...and you beat me to a poorer response on
my behalf. Other thing is the enviromental activists in Columbia at least in past show up in
mass and drown out any opposition. In past have noticed they like to show up with dirt in
plastic bottles and wave them to others there to show how they are polluting the environment.
Regardless they end up getting an emotional although misinformed response that is hard to
reckon with.
Mercury has always been a problem in SA with alluvial miners many that still cannot
comprehend the damage they are doing yet it continues as they often are mining
illegally. IKE
