First Nation asks auditor general to investigate government's failure
A court has approved amendments to Victoria Gold's receivership, including increasing PricewaterhouseCoopers' borrowing limit to C$105 million to fund remediation work at the Eagle gold mine in Yukon, Canada.PwC was appointed receiver of Victoria Gold in August after the Yukon government lost its confidence in Victoria Gold's ability to take the health, safety and environmental consequences of a heap leach failure at the Eagle gold mine seriously.
As an example of government failure, it names the fact that Victoria Gold was found noncompliant with at least one environmental regulation in 25 out of 40 inspections between September 2019 and the heap leach failure in June 2024, but never got more than a slap on the wrist."YG's response was to give Victoria Gold three warnings, four corrective actions, and a single Inspector's Direction," the First Nation said in a statement.
