Canada's Gabriel Resources Ltd plans to mine 314 tonnes of gold and 1,500 tonnes of silver in the small Carpathian town of Rosia Montana through its local arm, Rosia Montana Gold Corporation, in which the Romanian state also holds a minority stake.
The
planned gold quarries would use cyanide and would destroy four mountain
tops and wipe out three villages. Campaign groups say it would destroy
ancient Roman sites and could cause an environmental disaster
