ROMANIA-CANADA-MINING-GOLD-ENVIRONMENT
A Romanian protester holds on July 19, 2011 a placard, reading: "Cyanide Kills," in front of the Romanian Culture Ministry in Bucharest. Demonstrators gathered to protest against a Canadian gold mine project at an ancient Roman site in Transylvania after Romania's culture ministry issued a permit for the mine. Protestors oppose plans by Rosia Montana Gold Corporation (RMGC), which is 80 percent held by Canadian firm Gabriel Resources, to establish an open-cast gold mine in Rosia Montana. Rosia Montana's green hills are said to hold more than 300 tons of gold, one of the biggest deposits in Europe. The International Council for Monuments and Sites, one of the three formal advisory bodies to the World Heritage Committee, recently supported moves to put Rosia Montana on Romania's tentative list for UN heritage body UNESCO, a first step in the long process towards a World Heritage listing.
