Uzina de magneziu de la Săliște, pusă în așteptare. Primăria spune că ”nu a fost concesionat niciun teren”

Following local protests against the magnesium mining project in Mărginimea Sibiului, Mineral Proiect Invest and the Săliște City Hall promised transparency and public consultation before any decisions. The project, located in Valea Dobra, Rășinari, received a concession license on September 7, 2026, and is touted as the first integrated magnesium industrial project in the EU. The company plans a phased investment exceeding 400 million euros, with initial funds allocated for opening the quarry and building a processing plant. The local administration emphasized that no decisions will be made without public debate, amid community concerns about environmental impacts and health risks. Protests continue, with over 2,000 signatures collected against the project, as residents demand more information and independent assessments regarding potential asbestos presence.
