Hundreds of Romanians protested today in Trafalgar Square against a
draft bill passed by their government that will allow a Canadian firm,
Gabriel Resources, to create Europe's largest open-cast gold mine in the
village of Rosia Montana.
The project is set to extract 314 tonnes of gold and 1,500
tonnes of silver over a 16-year period. It will destroy four mountain
tops, force the relocation of hundreds of families, and leave behind a
lake containing 215 million cubic metres of water contaminated with
poisonous cyanide.
