2018: https://www.mercuryconvention.org/sites/default/files/documents/minamata_initial_assessment/Azerbaijan-MIA-2018.pdf: “Industrial production of gold began in the 15th century. … In Gadabay, … between 1849-1917 … the Siemens Bros Company produced copper ore in the deposit and extracted about 2 million tons ore. Naturally, in those days gold was produced using mercury with primitive (artisanal) methods and it is highly probable that these traditions continue in a minimal way.”
