(https://www.northernminer.com/news/victoria-gold-charged-after-second-landslide-at-eagle-mine-this-year/1003869073/)
... the situation on site is unclear:
"Investigators have yet to determine the full extent of the damage at Eagle. At the media briefing, they couldn’t say how much contaminated water from the landslide is being contained, how much contaminated water was released and how much cyanide was in the HLP ore at the time of the accident. It’s also unclear how much, if any, contaminated water escaped the property."
I don't know what the truth is about this incident, but I do know for certain that the sort of entitled people present in that region are quite greedy and prone to making loud and false accusations in order to get more $$ for nothing. These massive polluters don't care about the environment, but they will protest and whine like no other group... Since the corrupt government is all too happy to appease these freeloaders, I wouldn't expect a quick, fair, or reasonable outcome.
I wouldn't be surprised if some local freeloading crows dumped cyanide in the water in order to go on CBC and whine about contamination of their "ancestral land"... They're definitely donning their feathers and polishing their drums as we speak in order to extort casino and liquor stores money.
