She said the initiative will mainly focus on influencing small-scale
miners and operators of ball mill or gold processing plants in T’boli to
end the use of mercury and instead adopt safer and toxic-free mining
and gold extraction techniques.
“The risk of mercury contamination and poisoning in the province is
quite serious because of its rampant use in our mining areas. So it’s
about time that we properly address this matter and implement concrete
measures to resolve it,” the governor said.
