While people of Hrazdan were struggling to ban the extraction of
Hrazdan iron mine, information appeared in the press that only 15
km far away from the city of Hrazdan an enrichment plant of gold
extraction and tailings dump would we built and that the plant
construction project had gone through expertise long ago, EcoLur
reports.
Hrazdan is famous for its polluted air basin. In Hrazdan the maximum
concentration of cement dust STK caused by only the Cement factory
emissions can exceed 6-8 times. Besides the Cement factory the Hrazdan
TTP functions in Hruzdan, they intend to open the iron mine in the
city centre and now the gold extraction plant and tailings dump are
initiated. And the plant construction project states that one of the
favourable factors of creating the new plant is "the great ecological
potential of the territory".
The plant is going to recycle the gold containing ore in Lusajur mine.
The ore extraction license belongs to "Paramount gold mining" Ltd.
100 thousand ore will be recycled per year. The workshops of scrapping
and grinding will be placed outside.
According to the project the whole territory of the enrichment plant
and tailings dump is 4.6 ha. "The tails belong to not dangerous class,
aren't flammable, explosive and dissolving", states the project,
consequently the fee is "0.0 dram".
Among the pollutants of the atmosphere are dust, sulfur dioxide and
carbon monoxide.
The demand for fresh water in the plant will be 63.180 m3.
