Annotation	We studied occurrence of Hg chemical forms in mine wastes near the Hg mines in the central CR. Waste materials were highly elevated in total Hg concentrations (up to 120 ug.g-1) and contained mostly cinnabar (HgS). Minor part (<14%) of total Hg was identified as mineral surface bound Hg, which might undergo methylation processes and thus it represents potential long-term environmental risk.
