The danger of cyanide contamination following the accident at Victoria Gold’s Eagle mine in Yukon might be fading after the latest test results show low levels of the chemical in water bodies.
“Last Friday, we received another test result from Haggart Creek, two kilometers downstream from the mine. No cyanide was detected in that sample,” John Streicker, Yukon’s minister of energy, mines and resources , said. Streicker added that the government supports an investigation into the root causes of the accident, following a call for a probe by the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun . The First Nation has also demanded an immediate halt to all mining activity on its traditional territory, where Eagle is located.
Victoria has complied with those deadlines of this week, except for the slope plan, for which it asked for an extension and was granted until 4 p.m. Yukon time Friday, spokesperson John Thompson said.
