Stripping Rosia Montana: Canadian Company Set To Wipe Out Four Mountain Tops And Ancient Villages In Cyanide Mining Agreement With Romania The target of the project is 314 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver and is valued at $7.5-billion (U.S.). Romania will received about 75 per cent of the benefits in taxes, royalties, dividends and jobs. Thousands marched in Bucharest against the plan. Four mountain tops and three villages will be destroyed. While environmentalists and historians are horrified by the plan, Gabriel Resources CEO Jonathan Henry said the government’s move “represents a significant milestone for all stakeholders”. The area is the site of ancient gold mining going back to the 11th Century. jonathanturley.org/2013/09/03/stripping-rosia-montana-canadian-company-set-to-wipe-out-four-mountain-tops-and-ancient-villages-in-cyanide-mining-agreement-with-romania/
