Answer:

First, mercury is mixed with the materials containing gold. A mercury-gold amalgam then is formed because gold will dissolve in the mercury while other impurities will not. ... Mercury also can get into the soil and water if it still is contaminating other waste materials from the mining process that may be discarded
