What a wild ride, 10s longer than a bareback bronc. :)
"Yukon government is conducting an independent investigation into the failure. The First Nation is pushing hard for a public inquiry. Believing only an inquiry can undertake the breadth and scope of the systemic review needed in light of this disaster. Concern is the independent investigation will not judge the years-long failed assessment, monitoring, and enforcement. Chief Hope says the Yukon government is well aware of Victoria Gold’s shortcomings with the mine."
OK so why was it not put on hold untill remediated? FN could have applied pressure.
:
In March of 2021 inspectors fined Victoria Gold for failing to follow approved protocols with their cyanide management plans. The incidents began to pile up.
In 2022 the Yukon Government commissioned Piteau Associates to identify the mine’s deficiencies. The 61-page report contained 82 recommendations, 10 dealing with cyanide management alone."
Fine, remediaton and followup is standard protocol. So who was in control?
"Gordon said he won’t operate heavy equipment ever again
“I’m done. I’m 100 percent done,” he said."
Glad you're still arround. :)
