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.
