Additionally, this news outlet requested from Bea Mountain copies of results of analysis on the water and fish in the affected area in addition to the specific magnitude of the weak acid dissociated cyanide that went into the wetlands. A map of the area affected along with diagrams of any wetlands and bodies of water was also requested. Bea Mountain has not provided any of the requested information, preferring instead to defer to the aforementioned press releases.
Weak acid dissociable cyanide is a byproduct of modern gold mining, and the chemical is considered to be a thousand times more toxic to fish than to humans.
