Another cyanide-leeching mining proposal is facing opposition in
Romania, amid ongoing protests against plans to create Europe’s biggest
open-cut operation in Rosia Montana.
This time it
is about the planned mine at Certej, in the central county of
Hunedoara, just 90 kilometres away from Rosia Montana.
For this
project, Canadian firm Eldorado Gold Corporation, the majority
shareholder, received the environmental approval, for which new
documents were recently submitted.
The recent revision of the existing approval was however appealed by
Mining Watch Romania, which brings together civil society and local
communities, and which monitors mining activities in Romania.
