A goldminer fined for polluting water-catchment creeks three times last year wants to use cyanide at its new underground goldmine near Majors Creek, east of Canberra......................

Unity originally said ore would be trucked off site and processed at Parkes, but this week suggested building a plant for cyanide processing near Majors Creek to separate gold from ore.
The announcement has alarmed downstream food producers and Eurobodalla Shire, which wants to keep its water catchment for 140,000 people in summer in pristine condition.
Downstream landholder Jackie French said final processing of ore at Majors Creek introduced a new risk from lead, cadmium, zinc and dust, which was potentially worse than cyanide.
Araluen Valley Protection and Producers Coalition president Penny Hayman said she was stunned.
