Romanians angry over proposed mine

HUNDREDS of Romanians have protested against a proposed gold mine in Transylvania, saying it will damage the environment and will be of little benefit to Romanians.

About 300 people gathered in temperatures of minus 6 degrees Celsius outside the Romanian parliament to demonstrate against the Rosia Montana mine, planned by a Canadian company. "Rosia Montana is not for sale," the protesters yelled. Protesters claim the project "not yet approved" is dangerous because it uses cyanides.
