Mine casts dark clouds over Motkor
A pristine corner of Armenia, 16,000 hectares of forest in the north-central section of Armenia, may be the next victim of commercial mining spearheaded by government officials.
An outfit called Victoria Silver Ltd. has been conducting geological surveys at the site since 2014. The area, in the Marts-Prvashen-Boudaghidzor triangle, is a gold and metals site slated for development.
If the survey results are promising, the mine will start operating, and the entire region near the town of Toumanyan in Lori Province will be affected.
