As I stated in the comment - not the ideal situation but if there is a will between all parties, there would have been a way.
I can only assume there was a growing conflict between JM, YTG, and the FNNN in how the mitigation efforts were being handled, and it came to a head once the "berm" was not made a priority. As JM stated, it was not engineered and it was not safe. True or not we will never know but with this berm being YTGs hill to die on, I trust we will see pictures of its completion in a couple weeks given its environmental importance, although I highly doubt it.
As far as the mine goes, the majority of the mine remains intact so why would they spend hundreds of millions building a new mine. Obviously if they were neutralizing cyanide through their Gold Recovery processing, that important infrastructure is operational. Once leaching the HLF commences, its back to pouring gold bars.
We will have to agree to disagree that that this accident became more of a personality struggle than an operational one, which of course impeded mitigation timelines and here we are 2 months post slide with very little in the way of actionable updates in getting this mine back on track other than the company who built this mine being forced out.
Name one other instance where a company with $50 million in the bank, working on remediating an accident, $104 million bond, and they are kicked to the curb and forced into receivership in less than 8 weeks
Unheard of for any jurisdiction that hopes to continue with a mining friendly reputation
Tough to deny someones palms are getting greased big time to make this happen so quickly!
