Mercury is also a precious metal just like gold, silver, platinum and palladium. They are using one precious metal to get another precious metal of a higher value.

Thanks for posting @mud_flap . What are your thoughts on this?

People are also "precious". And they are being destroyed for barely a living in order to make corporations, nations, black marketers rich.

There are other methods that are now emerging. In the Philippines they are using Borax with the flux method. I don't know if this method will work in Guyana. Guyana like Alberta and Montana has flour gold now near the surface. The larger pieces of gold near the surface are gone. Dug up by miners in the past. Only deeper gold mining can now get larger loads of gold and only large companies with capital can go deep. I calculated a small size gold mining operation in Guyana not using mercury will take at least one million us dollars to get started. Plus money to sustain the operation until you find gold. You better find gold in the first six months or else you going belly up and stormborn will have to piggy back you back to Georgetown.

Doan bodda. Last time I went to NYC, their food wasn't worth it. Chow mein, cookup  rice, pastries all taste blah. Dahl puri gat a tiny circle peas in the middle.

Disappointing.

What I miss is real pholourie. I've been in Cda forty eight years now and once I had a good pholourie done up by a Trini girl my wife worked with. These people here seem to make plain ole flour balls then hand you some sour to make up for what's lacking, flavour and substance.

If you get carry away an eat nuff of dah dam ting, it would clog up yo chute.

the older Indo women made the real thing, no flour added. i remember my mom's 35 years ago: we devoured them with chutney as soon as she finished frying a batch. the folks now just add lots of flour because they're lazy to grind all that split peas

Flour is added with yeast. It's the gluten that helps the pholourie to swell up and stay together and make it fluffy. Channa flour is readily available. Look for besan, split peas flour.

I make my own tamarind chutney hot sauce to go with it. I even grow my own cilantro, Scotch Bonnet and other thymes.

So much for mercury black market now, hehe. Mits, I watched Gordon Ramsay milk donkeys, how come we never heard of that in Guyana?

Chinese "traders" part of de underground market. De place getting more corrupt. Dem bais is call it natural resource curse.
