An economic dilemma is brewing in Armenia, where efforts to develop an open-pit gold mine may pose an ecological threat to a picturesque resort town.....
Critics warn that an open-pit gold mine in the location will inevitably result in hazardous emissions that can create ecological hazards for Jermuk, as well as threats to Armenia’s second-largest reservoir, Spandarian, situated some two kilometers away. Also at risk are another reservoir (Kechut) and five nearby villages.
