The article says mine, mine, mine - as if the mining put the orebody there. There are enormous mercury deposits in California, and they release mercury all the time. Clear Lake is an old volcano with extensive mercury contamination - which is why the lake is clear. New Idira is pretty remote from population. New Almaden is south of San Jose. and has the most mining. It is not very remote at all. A lot of people live there, I would have second thoughts. You can walk around any of these areas (many square miles) and find cinnabar rocks all over the ground. This is all 'natural' mercury, so it should be harmless ;-)
