Resort v. Industry: Mining Prospect Brings Jobs, But Concerns For Jermuk

Environmentalists say that the open-pit development of the mine, which is only some 13 kilometers from Jermuk resort town, will cause damage to not Jermuk mineral springs, but also to villages of Gndevaz, Gorayk and Saravan which are located near Mount Amulsar. They believe that large-scale blasting may result in the appearance of heavy metals in the air and pollution of the air and water in the area.
