Activists concerned with RMGC’s mining proposal have sounded the alarm
for years on the prospect of cyanide use in the mining process, which is
considered to be one of the cheapest and most effective solutions in
dissolving metal ores. According to experts,
cyanide is fatal to both human and environment ecosystems. Cyanide can
infiltrate soil, poison water resources and contaminate the air, among
others. Despite its gruesome effects on the environment, cyanide use has not been banned in Europe, partly due to strong corporate lobbying.
