You just put it, see the amalgama, and then you burn it.

It's easy to do.

I mean, it's the same methodology that was used in the Gold Rush in California a long time ago, right?

So there are minors that are trying.

And the thing is, like, there are technologies, but you have to change behaviors.

Minors think that that's the way that they know.

They think that's the way it should be.

And you have to first change.

Like, convince them that it's a better method.

Because at the end, everything is money, right?

And they think mercury is efficient.

And you have to prove them because it is efficient, but it's not that efficient.

There are other methods that are more efficient, but you have to prove to them.

And then you have to change the behavior.

So that's the tricky thing.

And also, at least in Madre de Dios, the miners, they work separately.

There are other places like in Colombia, they do like little associations and like a group of miners work and they can have the shaking table like owned by several miners, but here they work different.

So it's a slow process, but we found a group, they're women and they are trying to do the right thing.

I mean, like not using mercury, changing technology and also try to implement restoration techniques after the mining.

We're trying to look for this champion.
