RE:BTW, we want John McConnell back running the Victoria GoldGood grief!
It could be said that $100,000,000 +/- later and the self proclaimed frankenstein solution isn't working. Is the environment getting better or worse? Was the recirc. of the cyanide solution back on the heap a good call when no one really knew what was going on at the "core" of the heap.
Current Allowance:
"Amendment temporarily allows for water with higher concentrations of contaminants to release into environment"

It's called a Frankenstein System.
"Dowd described the current water treatment process as a “Frankenstein of a water treatment plant,” with many different pieces being put onto an existing water treatment plant to treat the water in the short term. Throughout the winter, Dowd said, other treatment approaches will be considered for impacted water."

Maybe an "independent review" is required of what exactly is going on and what led to the choice not allow creditor protection to be sought or to allow managment to approach the market for funds. That might have been a more rational approach than for the taxpayer to bear the cost of this now non-producing mine.
