Yukon Government Seeks Control of Victoria Gold After Mine Disaster The Yukon government has filed an application to place Victoria Gold Corp. into receivership following a major environmental disaster at the company’s Eagle Gold Mine. In June 2024, a heap leach failure resulted in cyanide contamination of nearby waterways, prompting concerns about environmental damage and the company’s ability to manage the crisis. Victoria Gold intends to oppose the receivership application, asserting its ongoing efforts to address the situation. The outcome of this legal battle could have significant implications for the mining industry in Yukon and set precedents for handling similar incidents in the future. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Governor Waller Opens Conference on U.S. Dollar's Global Role READ MORE The Largest Gold Reserves by Country Visualized READ MORE A Rare Kennedy Book: Will RFK Jr. Sign It at Limitless?
