Along with storing it, Victoria Gold has been recirculating contaminated water to the heap leach facility. Corresponding geotechnical assessments are being conducted to learn more about how stable the heap is with water running through it.
Once more information about its stability is received, McConnell said some grooming of what remains of the heap will commence to head off small collapses.
“We would hope to, as soon as possible, stabilize the front side of that heap leach pad and, you know, fill in that hole that’s been created along the western side and that’ll stabilize it,” he said.
To determine the cause of the landslide, McConnell explained that a panel of experts would start work on Aug. 5. He said a report on the cause is expected within four to six weeks
