Ball mills use mercury to separate the gold from the ore, while CIPs use cyanide.
They are to be moved to Barangay Mabatas, some six kilometers down the slope of Mt. Diwata Range and the 729-hectare Diwalwal mining area.
On June 29 last year, the PMDC issued a cease-and-desist against the continued operation of the ball mills and CIPs, but small-scale miners opposed the order.
