mercury-based artisanal and small scale gold mining requires capacity building, which is currently lacking. Higher mercury prices (mercury rose ⅓ in the first 7 months of 2011 to $1900 per flask) can act as an economic incentive for miners to reduce mercury releases and can create demand for alternative technologies.
