The Canadian mining company Eldorado Gold announced on Monday that it is suspending all investment activities in Greece, including the operation of its mines in Chalkidiki’s Skouries, Olympiada and Stratoni, development works and its research projects in Greece.
“Despite continuous efforts made by Eldorado and its subsidiary Hellas Gold to cooperate constructively with the Greek government, the environment and energy ministry and other state services, there are ongoing delays in the issue of routine licences for the construction and development works at Skouries and Olympiada in Halkidiki,” noted Eldorado’s announcement.
