A journalist takes pictures of acid water leaks in the old mining galeries of Rosia Montana. The gold mining project, backed by Gabriel Resources, which will use a cyanide based extraction process, has been opposed for years by some of Rosia Montana's inhabitants, environmental groups like the World Wide Nature Fund (WWF) and Greenpeace, neighboring Hungary, British actress Vanessa Redgrave as well as the Orthodox and Unitarian churches. Rosia Montana green hills are said to host more than 300 tons of gold, one of the biggest reserves in Europe.
