With no previous experience in mining, the company plans to extract 300 tonnes of gold using 12,000 tonnes of cyanide a year.
It also promises a shower of benefits for Romania's economy,
including 2,300 jobs in the construction phase and up to 900 during the
16 years the mine operates.

But four mountains will be levelled and environmentalists and
archeologists warn against major pollution risks and irreversible damage
to unique Roman-era mining galleries
