MTC sitting on 1 mill Oz of gold @ Sturec Gold mine, page-118

ALLSCRAZY , Good morning from Helsinki , Finland.
You are right saying that the cyanide and the local community.
Well , I am Greek from Thessaloniki, 56 years old , all my life as jewelry manufacturer . I have used hundreds of kilos of cyanide for electrolysis plating.

Environmental problems have also the Canadian company ElDorado Gold at Skouries , Halkidiki.
I know the place very well. Used to be a mine since the ancient times. There is a lot of gold in Skouries with low costs per once.

in countries like Greece , Slovenia , Serbia the politicians use their power to negotiate with mining companies so to gain popularity leaving the mining companies in suspension to wait for the licence to start mining operations.

Read about ElDorado gold - Skouries and you will understand. The Canadian company is there since 2004 . They got the licence to start operations last year !!! 15 years of waiting for a licence.
Politicians are common thieves in these countries. Companies do suffer there.
