All Hg-contaminated tailings are leached with cyanide. Many processing plants continue to dump their final cyanidation tailings into the local rivers. Over 880,000 tonnes of tailings and mining waste are estimated to enter the Puyango River annually, containing about 650 kg of Hg and 6000 tonnes of cyanide (Guimarães et al., 2011).
