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.

Historical tailings have nothing to do with modern #gold mining. #Mining today is a science-based industry that takes proper care of the environment.
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.
