In the heart of Transylvania, mineral wealth and badly needed jobs
compete with time-honored rural traditions and concerns about
poisoning the environment.
This is a David-and-Goliath story set in a scenic Romanian village
in the heart of Transylvania. At stake: Europe's largest deposit of
gold ore - and a 2,000-year-old village in existence since the
ancient Romans found gold in the mountains. Now, as a Canadian
company plans to excavate the largest open-pit gold mine in Europe,
mineral wealth and badly needed jobs compete with time-honored
rural traditions and concerns about poisoning the environment.
