Interesting comment from OCT 1st PWC report
Interesting comment from OCT 1st PWC report
"On June 24, 2024, there was a catastrophic failure of the HLF containment
infrastructure at the Eagle Gold Mine, resulting in the release of approximately four
million tons of heap ore material. The ore material slid down the edge of the heap
embankment and generated a slide that pushed the ore material outside the
containment of the HLF. According to reports from VGC, approximately two million
tons of ore escaped the containment embankment at the base of the HLF, and onto the
unprotected ground below"
Lets see what the investication reveals, so far the thought is that the heap "punched out"? The above comment leads one to beleive that the "containment" was breached from the top?
Did the instrumentation in the in-heap pond fail or provide incorrect readings?
Badger thanks for the link.
