The term mizugane, regardless of kanji spelling, is largely obsolete in modern Japanese.
The usage of this kanji is rare and literary, and it is not used in isolation in modern Japanese. Use 水銀 instead for the standalone word for mercury.

Usage notes
The kō reading is used in chemical compounds that include (e.g. corrosive sublimate).
