'patience' - hey Howy, the albertans call us lotuslanders 'pacific paralytics' on account of too much patience ... but we'll get back at them one day, no rush though, we've got lots of patience .... they all retire out here, heh heh

In re mercury - '(solo en la cuenca del Caroni se estarian arrojando al ano 3000 kgs. de este metal tan toxico, usado para separar el oro de otros minerales)' - tao.ca ['just in the basin of the Caroni alone they belch out three tonnes per annum of this so-toxic metal, used to separate gold from other minerales']

Yes for sure, Cadre could get a lot of the mercury out .... but observe the next and very-related part of that run-on sentence - 'la contaminacion de las aguas con la remocion de sedimentos" - ['the contaminacion of the water with the removal of sediments']

There will be opposition, without a doubt ... you go mess around in a waterway of any sort, you get opposition, it just goes with the territory nowadays .... and it may very well be legitimate opposition for all we know ... we have no idea what species are down there depending on that riverbottom placer as their habitat ..... i do see a risk whereunder the first hints we get are from some greenpeacer telling us stories that might be true or might not, doesn't matter - then big-money biologist types with degrees and all must be hired .... it's not straight-forward .... nothing ever is, of course

I think they tried that for a few years in California and disguised it as the great Gold Rush. They used the reverse excuse that it was to find gold, but it was really to re-arrange the gravel beds of the Napa valley and resilt the farm land for growing vegetables.
