Canada Mine Fails To Monitor Mercury Risk, Environmental Group Says

"Wildlands League calls for independent monitoring of diamond mine near Attawapiskat First Nation".

"Mercury contamination from the De Beers diamond mine in northern Ontario may be much higher than the company — or the provincial government — are reporting, according to a new study by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society's Wildlands League.

De Beers denies the allegations, saying in a statement that its environmental data is often misrepresented by other parties.

The Wildlands League study, released Monday and titled Nothing to See Here..., is the result of an 18-month investigation done by the environmental group. It calls for independent environmental monitoring of De Beers Victor mine."
