Skouries: SYRIZA To Repeal Licenses of Hellas Gold

The Ministry of Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy has apparently decided to repeal the licenses of Hellas Gold, the mining company which is currently operating in Skouries, in northern Greece.

Alternate Minister of Environment and Energy Yannis Tsironis said that the goal is to determine whether the Hellas Gold’s activities comply with the licenses which have been issued to the company because it appears that its enrichment plan has been constructed without any building terms.

However, the Greek Minister clarified that the Ministry has only examined urban planning matters and not the mining operations as of yet so his Ministry has not yet reached a conclusion on whether to suspend operations or not.

Meanwhile, Minister of Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Panagiotis Lafazanis declared that the government is against the mining operation and would seek out legal means to address the matter. He also noted that he would support the mine employees and their prospects.
