Misconceptions re modern #gold #mining stem from historical mining practices that were not good enough. We agree mines 100-150 years ago were not properly managed, like most human activities back then. But historical sites have nothing to do with modern mining.

Most industries have unfortunate legacy issues. Govs have paid to clean up sites like the Sydney tar ponds, Amherst Aerospace and Trenton's Tibbetts Paints. Mining also has legacy issues but they date from another era. We take proper care of the environment today.

Standards weren't good enough 100 years ago for mining or anything else. But that's not how we operate now.

Before getting operating permits, #NovaScotia #mining companies must get government approval of #reclamation plans and post-reclamation bonds that ensure funds are available to properly take care of sites.

#NS Mine operators treat, strictly monitor and test water, and report back to @nsgov. Water is recycled on-site to reduce the amount needed. Water released back into a river or lake is usually cleaner after it has been used in a mine or #quarry than it was beforehand.
