RE:RE:RE:RE:«Yukon First Nation calls for halt of mining on its land🇨🇦There is no point anyone on here trying to state that this event was anything less that a catastrophe. It may be they didn't actually pollute local streams with cyanide, this time...or maybe they did...but a 1500 yard long 370 yard wide landslide is without doubt a catastrophe. It was pure luck that there wasn't multiple fatalities.
Given the seriousness of the failure, I find it inconcievable that they won't be forced to remove all the remaining ore still on the pad so as to fully inspect and or replace at least the liner...a massive undertaking. Victoria apparently followed the build spec, but still it failed, so the new spec will have to be far more robust, not with just a few cobbled together temporary dams. It will be insisted that the new design spec will need to be failsafe, and that process will cost huge amounts.
I fully understand why those sitting on large loses are desperate for this to be turned around, if I hadn't bailed out, taking a beating, I'd be just the same. For all your sakes I hope I'm proved wrong, But I've made my choice, and from my perspective I'm going to stick with it.
