Small miners will not be affected by mercury ban

The phasing out and eventual banning of mercury, which is expected to take effect in 2022, will not have a severe impact on small miners and their operations.  This is according to Natural Resources and Environment Minister Robert Persaud.

The government, through the Natural Resources Ministry, recently signed onto the Minamata Convention on mercury, a new international pact to control mercury emissions and gradually phase out its use.
