By 2016 Global Mercury Volume to Reach 2080 t According to Merchant Research & Consulting, Ltd.

26 May 2011 • by Natalie Aster

From ancient times mercury has been used for small-scale gold mining. So mercury demand depends directly on gold prices. As rising gold prices will stimulate gold exploration, it would lead to the new large-scale mines openings. This would, in turn, result in continued byproduct mercury production from the ore processing.

In 2010 a leading exporter of mercury was the United States, and the principal export destinations were the Netherlands, Peru, and Vietnam. Oncoming mercury export bans in the European Union, in 2011, and in the United States, in 2013, combined with rising gold prices, would affect the price of mercury. However, global production is projected to grow at an average rate of 0,9% per year from 2011 to 2016, increasing the volume from 2020 t to 2080 t.
