Mexico has started to toughen environmental enforcement against silver mining firms. AP 5-6-99 reported a terrible lead contamination around the old Met-Mex Penoles (Industrias Penoles) (IPOAF) silver refinery, the largest in the world. Workers and even many children living nearby in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico, are afflicted. Officials have procrastinated for at least 17 years on this particular refinery. Maybe it is a sure thing that the Russian Dukat mine will be reopened as a result.
