The company is part owner of the gold tailing reprocessing operation at Baia Mare. At the time there was international outrage at the extent of the damage caused by the accident, and it's unlikely that the environment of the region will ever fully recover from that amount of pollution. Yet, it seems the mine is once again up and running. Today on Earth Matters we hear from Geoff Evans, Director of the Mineral Policy Institute, who recently visited the site.=20 The web address for the Mineral Policy Institute, which has a range of background information about the cyanide spill in Romania, is = www.mpi.org.au IN: "Well a million litres =85" OUT: " =85 here in Australia."
