Greece says to grant permits for Eldorado Gold's Olympias project this week

Greece will grant Canada's Eldorado Gold outstanding permits for its Olympias project this week, its Energy Minister George Stathakis said on Wednesday. Dozens of Eldorado Gold workers rallied outside the energy ministry in Athens on Wednesday to protest against potential job losses after the Canadian company threatened to suspend investment at its Greek mines, demanding permits and clarifications on an upcoming arbitration process.
