Inquiry starts on Dalradian's gold mine proposal in Northern Ireland, balancing economic gains against environmental risks.

Public inquiry begins for a proposed gold mine in Northern Ireland's Sperrin Mountains by Dalradian, aiming to extract gold, silver, and copper. The project promises economic benefits and jobs but faces opposition over environmental concerns in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The inquiry will assess impacts on health and environment, with a final decision by Stormont's Infrastructure minister.
