RE:These government guys really need to get there act together

I don't get what you are suprised/upset about (besides the company perhaps being overly reassuring). There is a huge amount of crushed ore with a huge anount of CN leachate sitting outside containment. There is an additional huge anount sitting up on a comprimised pad. At operation, moisture content is 14% (ie of the CN solution) and dry is about 7% i think they said. So that is 7% (unsure by mass or volume) that has to go somewhere according to laws of gravity..... Clearly they are going to find cyanide all over the place.. Containment dams can only maybe contain some surface water. The numbers the government consultant gave were 2mil tons of crushed ore pregnant with leachate outside of containment. And then I think he said 2 mil tons on the pad but that the pad was violated. In the 2mil tons outside of containment he said he estimates 300,000 m³ of cyanide.

MAYO, YUKON - Yukon’s mining minister says elevated levels of cyanide have been detected in a waterway after an equipment failure and slide of ore at Victoria Gold’s Eagle Mine last week.

The announcement by John Streicker comes hours after the company issued a statement saying it had detected no cyanide in surface water after the slide.
If this is in fact the case, heads need to roll as allowing a week of cyanide leaching into watersheds without notifying those down stream is unacceptable. These alerts should have come by phone directlty by the Burnaby and a warning issued immediately.

What a ministerial cluster fux this is turning out to be, and not from VG
