“Meghradzor Gold” Company will hold public hearings on the project of construction a plant for gold extraction in Meghradzor Village, at 12:00 on 5 December. The gold will be cyanide extracted. Under the project, the plant should be constructed in a distance of 0.5-0.6 km from Meghradzor resort zone. The emission into atmosphere will contain cyanide hydrogen, suspended particles (composition not mentioned), nitrogen, sulfuric anhydride etc. The damage assessment in the project is estimated 10,000 AMD per year.
If the project is confirmed, Kotayk region will have the second gold processing plant with cyanic production. Reminder: in 2011 EcoLur wrote that a cyanic production should operate 5 km far from Hrazdan to extract gold from Lusajur mine with its tailing dump.
