Abstract.Mercury deposits are globally distributed in 26 mercury mineral belts. Three types of mercury deposits occur in these belts: silica–carbonate, hot-spring, and Almaden. Mercury is also produced as a by-product from several types of gold–silver and massive sulfide deposits, which account for 5% of the world's production. Other types of mineral deposits can be enriched in mercury and mercury phases present are dependent on deposit type. During processing of mercury ores, secondary mercury… Expand

Isotope geochemistry of mercury in source rocks, mineral deposits and spring deposits of the California Coast Ranges, USA
Abstract We present here the first study of the isotopic composition of mercury in rocks, ore deposits, and active spring deposits from the California Coast Ranges, a part of Earth's crust with… Expand
Review of characteristics of mercury speciation and mobility from areas of mercury mining in semi-arid environments
The speciation of mercury—including most phase minerals, secondary phases, gaseous and aqueous species—is very important for evaluating the environmental impact and mobilization of this contaminant.… Expand
Mercury isotope constraints on the source for sediment-hosted lead-zinc deposits in the Changdu area, southwestern China
The Lanuoma and Cuona sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits hosted by Upper Triassic limestone and sandstone, respectively, are located in the Changdu area, SW China. Mercury concentrations and Hg isotopic… Expand

Metallogeny and environmental impact of Hg in Zn deposits in China
Abstract Zinc smelting is currently regarded as one of the most important atmospheric Hg emission sources in the world. In order to assess the potential environmental impacts of Hg from Zn smelting… Expand
Mining, metallurgy and the historical origin of mercury pollution in lakes and watercourses in Central Sweden.
TLDR
Data on long-term mercury pollution in 16 sediment records from 15 lakes indicates that direct release of mercury to lakes and watercourses was already significant prior to industrialization (<AD 1800), which suggests that the present-day problem of elevated mercury concentrations in the Bergslagen region can trace its roots back to historical mining.

Assessing mercury distribution using isotopic fractionation of mercury processes and sources adjacent and downstream of a legacy mine district in Tuscany, Italy
Abstract Mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopic compositions in a range of sample types collected from the legacy Abbadia San Salvatore Mine (ASSM) area were used to evaluate the distribution of Hg… Expand
Mercury and in situ sulfur isotopes as constraints on the metal and sulfur sources for the world’s largest Sb deposit at Xikuangshan, southern China
It has been well established that metal and sulfur sources in mineral deposits can be very difficult to identify, especially for ore deposits hosted in sedimentary rocks. Using the world’s largest Sb… Expand

Characterization and speciation of mercury-bearing mine wastes using X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
TLDR
Use of this technique, in conjunction with standard microanalytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis, is beneficial in the prioritization and remediation of mercury-contaminated mine sites. Expand
Distribution, speciation, and transport of mercury in stream-sediment, stream-water, and fish collected near abandoned mercury mines in southwestern Alaska, USA.
TLDR
These stream-water results indicate that most of the Hg transported downstream from the mines is as finely-suspended material rather than dissolved Hg, which is below the 1000 ng/g action level for edible fish established by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Expand
