Concerned residents in Glenfin are to hold a meeting tonight to discuss proposals for licenses to prospect for gold in the area.
Donegal Daily revealed last week how an application has been sought by the Government to grant four prospecting licences for gold, silver and other metals in Co Donegal.
The licenses, which could lead to future exploration and mining, are in Letterkenny, Stranorlar, Glenties and Donegal Town.
A notice outlining plans by the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment Richard Bruton proposing to grant prospecting licences under the Minerals Development Acts, 1940-1999 appeared on Donegal County Council’s website.
Those wishing to object to the licenses have 30 days from the appearance of the notice which was issued on May 16th.
The company behind the plans are Great Glen Resources Limited, of Queensway, Hertfordshire in England.
Tonight’s public meeting takes place in Coimin National School at 7.30pm.
