THE CITY of Košice is against a proposal to mark off almost 300,000 square metres of land near the city's Jahodná recreational area for a uranium mine. The Canadian company Tournigan Gold Corporation (TGC) is interested in mining uranium and molybdenum in this area. The city is the exclusive owner of the land in question.
Košice argues that the land lies in a protected area that includes the city's water reservoirs.
