Remediation of legacy mine sites can be expensive, and sometimes metals other than mercury are found. The Sierra Fund and a variety of partners are exploring the marketing potential of metals obtained in the restoration of the environment, in an effort to recapture the costs of remediation, and fund future restoration projects. “E3” in our title stands for “environmentally sound, economically viable and ethically produced.”
This project is in its very early stages; please watch this page for developments as they evolve.
