After the Baia Mare cyanide spill in the year 2000,100,000 tons of mud containing cyanide and heavy metals flowed into the Tisza and Danube rivers, resulting in one of the most serious environment catastrophes in Europe's history.
This Canadian gold mining company will use 13.000 tons of cyanide yearly in Rosia Montana gold mining project! Romanian people fear the possibility of a similar accident in this giant project, that would lead to an european disaster.
Our ancestors have mined these mountains for 2000 years, this company has no right to distruct our environment in a 15 year project. Romanian president Traian Basescu supports this project, facing powerful business lobbies from this company.
Help romanians stop this dirty project, help them keep this world clean!
