Victoria Gold Corp VITFF

Victoria Gold Corp. is a gold mining company. The Company’s flagship asset is its 100% owned Dublin Gulch property, which hosts the Eagle, Olive and Raven gold deposits along with numerous targets along the Potato Hills Trend including Nugget, Lynx and Rex Peso. Dublin Gulch is situated in the central Yukon, Canada, approximately 375 kilometers (km) north of the capital city of Whitehorse. The property covers an area of approximately 555 square kilometers and is the site of the Company's Eagle and Olive Gold Deposits. It also holds a suite of other development and exploration properties in the Yukon, including Brewery Creek, Clear Creek, Gold Dome and Grew Creek. The Eagle West target area lies as close as 500 meters northwest of the main Eagle Gold Deposit and hosts the exposures of the granodiorite. The Raven target is located at the contact zone at the extreme southeastern portion of the Nugget Stock. The Brewery Creek Project is a past producing heap leach gold mining operation.

YTG, EMR and FN will ever allow this type of cyanide process

YTG, EMR and FN will ever allow this type of cyanide processagain unless it is a natural bedrock type depression. 


After looking at StrataGold heap-leach-facility-operation-maintenance-and-surveillance-manual-2019-01 esp. P 19, 20, 22, 23 there is no way this will ever open again in it's current configuration.  Partial collapse of Phase 1 Heap avalanched down Dublin almost to South Pond. Had it been Phase 2 or 3  it would have swept all the way to Haggart Creek and probably taken out Lower Dublin and the camp with the avalanche of debris taken out the camp.  In this case the spoor Sculpin's sad fate would of been the last thing on rescuer's minds.

Will the independent review ever "really" get to the bottom of this?  Maybe. There are no real standards for this and it follows other jurisdictions guidlines and best practices.  Well The Yukon isn't Nevada.  So we'll see. it'll be interesting.

"Regulations and permitting requirements for heap leach facilities in the Yukon Territory are not expressly stated; but rather, they have historically relied on regulations from other regions and on precedence established from other successful projects"

Page 14 has a great org chart, note at the top are the Engineers and Consultants.  

Looking at the cross sections of the heap and the little "retaining berm" at the toe it is hard not to fathom what would happen if the stacked material was overly saturated that the pressure to "move" downhill would be a real concern, especially if the ROM stacking created a "shear" point(s).  Basically heaps are held together by friction, tech and rubber.

So why this note? Simple do not invest in any miner in The Yukon that uses heap leach technology as a proposal for processing, there is no way that YTG, EMR and FN will ever allow this type of cyanide processing again unless it is a natural bedrock type depression (try finding that in the McQuesten and surrounds) not on the side of a valley.

There are a number of junior mining promos currently soap boxing that follow the same predictable "Soapy Smith" nonsense, don't be fooled stay away.  What the the territory really needs first is to get their act together and it's not only mining.
