Relevant information

Mining operations have an adverse impact on the protection of natural resources. The gold, bauxite and diamond industry has dangerously affected plant cover and water and soil resources, through various types of pollution and disruption. Small-scale gold mining continues to inflict enormous damage on forest cover, the soil and the subsoil, even to the extent of causing water resources to dry up. In view of the harm and risks, and if the current trend is not reversed, Guinea could seriously compromise the balance of its water systems to the detriment of its own population, present or future.

The RA Government envisages to support private projects for construction of geothermal power plants by developing new legal incentives. In the result of Exploratory Drilling Grant Program, it is foreseen to construct a Geothermal Power Plant at Karkar site, Syuniq Region, Armenia. Within the framework of the said Program 2 narrow wells exploratory drilling results and Preliminary Cost Calculations for Karkar Geothermal Power Plant have been prepared. Within this framework it is foreseen to find investment companies with international experience for the construction of Geothermal/Organic Rankin Cycle operating/Power Plant at Karkar Geothermal site. Wells test reports as well as the final cost calculation reports have been sent to more than 50 international investors by e-mail.
