YTG - Independent Review Board Selected, FN Concerned

I find it odd that Mr. Smith, while having great and one could say undisputed credentials it appears he was also involved in 2022 review of the initial heap leach failures (spills). I can see a bit of why FN is concerned with the independance of the review process. Is heap leach tech pushing the envelope, quite possibly.

"In a July 2022 memo to Yukon officials about the mine’s cyanide management plans, engineer Mark Smith said there were four reported spills between July 2020 and July 2021, three of which happened in less than four months, including a “relatively large” spill of 30,000 litres."

"“The immediate response to each of these was appropriate and effective, and indications are that there were no significant or lasting environmental impacts,” says Smith’s memo, which was included in the published report of the review."

Mr Smith, et al on a review of heap leach.

"With leach pile heights in the 100 to 150 m range, the limits of known pipe
performance have been long passed. Laboratory testing is struggling to keep up
with each increase in the maximum depth"
