RE:new article
RE:new article Thank you Nick - Very specific comments made by the source, so it is likely credible information from someone on site leading to some important questions the corporation should be addressing.
The source also said staff at the Eagle Mine might have been aware there was a problem with the heap leach pad. The person suggested there had been an ongoing search for a leak at the site, but no definitive answer was found.
"The day of the landslide, there had been a piece of heavy equipment on the top of the heap pad – which should not have happened, the source said."
On March 17, the source said, the site failed an inspection, but it’s unclear whether any action was taken
If this site was inspected in March and there was a suspected leak, I would assume it wasnt shut down worthy or the mine would have been issued an emergency cease work order until the leak was located considering the potentil of Cyanide hazards.
