What was being mined at the Gold King Mine before the disaster?
)
August 11th, 2015
Globe and Mail aricle
“EPA workers accidentally unleashed an estimated 3 million gallons (11.36 million litres) of mine waste, including high concentrations of arsenic, lead and other heavy metals, as they inspected the long-abandoned Gold King mine near Silverton, Colorado, on Aug. 5”
So is it obvious what was being mined? If so what makes it obvious? Is it the name of the mine and the color of the lake after the spill? Is it the ”.... high concentration of arsenic, lead and other heavy metals”? Is the combination of all of them?
