The main environmental problems are associated with mineral processing in the quimbaletes wth the corresponding use of mercury and burning of amalgam. However, these plants are easier to monitor and environmental controls can be easily enforced. Adequate training and professional supervision removes the environmental risks from common methods for gold gold processing and refinement refinement. This solution is obtained by encouraging processing in large scale plants (Siguiri-with a modern Wastewater treatment system that encompasses mining zones)where environmental control is much easier, and existing laws and environmental quality protocols are more easily enforced.
