Revision of environmental documents for Certej gold mining project in central Romania “illegal”

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.
