Eldorado faces more Greek protests
Thousands in the northern, historic Greek region of Thrace were out in the streets today to protest Vancouver-based Eldorado Gold’s Perama Hill mining project.
The protest comes just two weeks after a violent attack on an Eldorado mine site in Halkidiki.

The Perama Hill gold project is a late-stage development project in Thrace, Greece. The property consists of two mining titles covering an area of 1,897.5 ha, and two mining exploration licenses covering an area of 1,762.7 ha.
Processing of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) application through the Greek Ministry of Environment (MoE) continues with approval anticipated during the first quarter of 2013.
