In order:

A little bit.
Slightly more.
Not a lot.

So how's your budget looking for the several hundred thousand pounds it will cost to set up and become registered as a "e-waste" processor.
Not to mention the cost of processing the waste products from the extraction (one of which is cyanide) which are highly dangerous to humans and the environment.
