Nicaragua: Reducing Mercury use in Nicaragua's Prosperous Gold Mines

A growing artisanal and small-scale gold mining sector (ASGM), budding collaboration between the formal gold mining sector and the informal sector, and unfortunate but avoidable mercury use is the current picture of Nicaragua’s gold mining sector. The Artisanal Gold Council, in collaboration with government and local partners and through the support of the United States Department of State, will now begin work in the region to assist in the reduction of mercury use and improvement of community health and governance.
