“According to reliable but not official data, a gold extracting plant
is illegally being constructed, and as villagers say this plant will
operate not with cyanоgen, but carbamide not having any permission
for either,” “Environmental Academy” NGO president Greta Gabrielyan
is beating an alarm signal.

Reminder: “Meghradzor Gold” LLC, the developer of Meghradzor gold
mine in Kotayk Region, intends to construct a gold extracting plant
with cyanic technologies in Meghradzor resort zone. But the local
population and the environmental public opposed to this project,
as it contained high risks for the human health and environment.

The Nature Protection Ministry returned the project to the company
for amendments and complements. In its turn, “Meghradzor Gold”
LLC submitted the amended project of gold recovery plant for the
environmental expertise of Nature Protection Ministry, which says
that gold extraction should be carried out with thiourine.

It should be mentioned that the construction of the gold extracting
plant can be considered as legal, as the Environmental Expertise hasn’t
issued a positive opinion to this project, unless public hearings are
carried out on the amended project and any environmental expertise
opinion is issued, Ecolur NGO reports.
