Newmont-Backed Project Faces New Opposition

With thousands of protesters flooding into the capital and other cities over the weekend to protest a huge gold-mining project, you'd think you were in some South American country where local indigenous peoples have sparked opposition to many of the world's leading gold prospects.
But you'd be wrong. This was in Bucharest and thousands of people came out all across Romania to oppose the pending approval of what could become Europe's largest gold mine, the $1.4 billion Rosia Montana, which is estimated to contain 314 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver.
