The Mercury Problem in Artisanal Gold Mining. Mercury-based artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) causes more mercury pollution than any other human activity. 1 In this practice, mercury metal is used to extract gold from ore as a stable amalgam. The amalgam is then heated to evaporate the mercury and isolate the gold.

Mercury is used in small-scale hard rock mining operations. It is added to the crushed ore in small ball mills called "cocos." The mills contain steel balls that crush the ore and mix it with mercury. The amalgam is collected, but about half of the mercury remains mixed with the crushed ore and is usually discarded.
