Government campaign vs mercury in mining hailed

THE Aquino administration’s effort to eliminate mercury in the minerals sector, particularly in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), got a pat in the back from Australian miner Indophil Resources.
“We salute the government’s strong stance against the use of mercury in any form of mining as this would result to a healthier environment and the community, as well,” Gavan Collery, Indophil vice president for corporate affairs, said.
A mercury-free setting will also benefit mining workers with regard to their health, Collery said.
