Recently the Romanian parliament rejected the proposal of the Canadian-based company to expand this mining operation at Rosia Montana. This was a highly divisive issue for residents of Romania, where a balance between economic benefits to the region must be balanced with the impact of such a large-scale mining operation.
The use of the cyanide leaching process is the primary concern that many have, while the general impact of such a large mine is of concern to others.
There have been some long term effects over heavy metals being released into the waters around the region that have caused issues in the past.
