Gold mining and no disruption ? That's really a fairy tale. Mining entails a lot of drilling and dumping of soil, usage of water and chemicals. All you have to do is to check out any mining site, active or abandoned to see the collateral damage. Mining extracts a heavy toll both on the environment as well as the community.
NO, NO! Sometime mining can improve the environment, for example surface mining of previously mined areas. Solution mining, and the surface mining of evaporites is "clean" by most peoples standards.
@Nosferatu Zodd Insulting people does nothing to further whatever cause you are campaigning for. It draws attention to the lack of substance in your arguments.
No cyanide will be used in this process. Instead, the gold-bearing ore will be concentrated into a damp metallic sand and sent for further processing abroad. 'Dalradian'

@Nosferatu Zodd Well, it does provide thousands of jobs tbh. Just saying, I think the project does not worth the environmental cost. But we have to be honest. And royal ties payed by the companies are payed to both local and national government (at least that's how it works in the EU)
Few hundred jobs for x year and x billion to the investors... wow :D Must dig up as much as possible and forget any environmental and lasting damage that it'll do to the surrounding since none of the investors will still be there after the mine is .... Hmm would the investor even go there during the digging to live with the mining? damage lasting damage

yes
If I new there was good gold on my land I be digging it up
I can see the arguments of both sides. Hard to make a call.
In Australia the mining companies have blew up sacred aboriginal land and no punishment is handed to them.

No. It will probably be a matter for the Public Inquiry and the Planning Appeals Committee
