Large piles of ore wastes have been generated nearby Saravan Village, which is located near Vayots Dzor and Syunik Regions.
Several villagers said they worked as miners last year, about 7 months, near Vorotan-Arpa Tunnel. This mine is known to contain 7-8 types of metals, but the unknown owner mines mainly lead.
‘EcoLur’ President sent a letter to Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen Movsisyan with a request to clarify this situation, i.e. who this mine belongs to, how long it has been developed and what kind of ore is mined. The Ministry Staff Head Karen Ghahramanyan in his reply letter passed these questions and submitted information about Amoulsar Mine.
To get information about this lead mine we applied to Armen Movsisyan, he at first got surprised then said, “I don’t know about this. Write a letter, we will reply.”
