Glamis Gold Caught Under-Reporting Mercury Releases [USA]

Glamis Gold Ltd. has been caught seriously under-reporting mercury pollution from its Marigold Mine in Humboldt County. The company recently changed its reported mercury emissions for the past four years. Glamis' changes come after three conservation groups filed a notice warning the gold mining company that they would take legal action if the company did not fully disclose their toxic mercury air emissions as required by the Community Right to Know Act...Since the filing of the notice of intent to sue, Glamis has dramatically increased its reported emissions for the years 2001 through 2005. "It's clear that Glamis had been under-reporting their mercury air pollution for at least the past four years." said Dan Randolph, Director of Great Basin Mine Watch...Mercury is a powerful neurotoxin, particularly for children. Exposure to mercury can cause significant neurological and developmental problems.
