The magnesium extraction project in Valea Dobra is expected to bring around 20 trucks daily on the transport route through Rășinari–Păltiniș–Gura Râului. MPI Magnesium plans to use a cable transport system and covered electric trucks to minimize impact on Rășinari. The company aims to avoid heavy traffic during the ski season and has proposed to operate only on weekdays. Concerns from locals include traffic, noise, and tourism effects. The destination of the extracted material remains uncertain after the company abandoned plans for a processing plant in Săliște. A referendum on mining activities is scheduled for November 8, with local residents expressing their concerns.
