I haven’t lost my time in Rosia Montana - even if if was so short ! I discovered the rotten ambiance of the village, the omnipresence of the mining company, the greed of the priest, the roman gallery and, more of all, the RMGC plans. I did show it to Ani and now i send you the pictures :
current situation ; Rosia Montana up and right ; at the bottom, Abrud ; under the Ceausescu’s mine, the village of Corna almost disappeared today.
simulation after 7 years : Corna totally disappeared
simulation after 14 years ; the dam retains about 145 millions of tons of waste ore added with cyanided water, 125m OVER the city of Abrud that is directly threatened in case of a break in the dam.
Of course, the RMGC (Catalin Osu) will swear that the dam would never, ever break
BUT
this already happened in Romania (Baia Mare)
only God could predict what could happen to our planet Earth today.
Look at France currently : in the south rivers are overflowing, cities are flooded, a few deaths and tens of thousands of homes without electricity…
There have even been a tornado, which never happens in France.
So no one could imagine whatever could happen to the inhabitants of Abrud…
simulation after 17years : mine closure.
The mountains became fields - condemning the tourist traditional resource of the area (as yours), the village of Rosia Montana is preserved like a showcase for the RMGC, it is very probable that the antic vestiges will be destroyed by mining or explosions ; and they want us to believe that it is possible to revegetate a cyanided land… Of course they will tell that they will detoxicate the slimes before do dump it - but i don’t believe them : in two questions the environmental responsible contradicted himself. As he insured me that cyanide would be destroyed and the water recycled to save it as much as possible, i answered angelic : "so why don’t you recycle cyanide to ? as it is very expensive… it’s usual in Africa" and he answered : "of course we are going to recycle cyanide…" Unfortunately, the guy (cautiously) had refuse to be filmed…
But i’ve got a former african experience and i don’t trust these guys a single second.
So in the worst of the case - which is unfortunately the most probable, as Gabriel resources has none experience in mining ; the idea of this crazy project comes from a convicted drug dealer in Austria native from Romania… even the World Bank refused to caution the project in 2002 (!!!) - in the worst of the case the dam will break, the city of Abrud overflowed, the local river contaminated, and contamination would directly reach the Danube and Europe…
