Mercury-dependent artisanal and small-scale gold mining ASGM is the largest source of mercury pollution on Earth. In this practice elemental mercury is used to extract gold from ore as an amalgam. The amalgam is typically isolated by hand and then heated-often with a torch or over a stove-to distill the mercury and isolate the gold.
Feb 14 2018 Small scale gold miners in many developing countries rely primarily on deposits containing free gold and may be classified as shallowdeep alluvial or lode type. The mining method used in artisan small scale gold mining employ very basic technology. Shallow alluvial deposits are commonly found in valleys and streams at depths not more than two meters.

Jan 03 2018 The Mercury Problem in Artisanal Gold Mining. Mercury-based artisanal and small-scale gold mining ASGM causes more mercury pollution than any other human activity. 1 In this practice mercury metal is used to extract gold from ore as a stable amalgam. The amalgam is then heated to evaporate the mercury and isolate the gold.

Aug 14 2012 These small-scale operations also known as artisanal mines generally employ rudimentary methods to extract and process minerals as opposed to large scale industrial operations. As of 2011 there were less than 10 industrial-scale companies with any sort of presence in Guyana while the number of licensed artisanal miners is more than 14000.
