The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that the Yukon government is hopeful that the site of a catastrophic cyanide spill in the territory can be sufficiently remediated to allow the restart of gold mining. The Globe's Niall McGee writes that four million tonnes of cyanide-laced rocks collapsed at the gold-processing facility operated by Victoria Gold in June. About two million tonnes broke through the company's containment zone and spilled into the local environment. The first nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun fears the spill could devastate fisheries, hunting grounds and groundwater. Dozens of dead fish were recently found in a creek near the mine. The company was put into receivership last week at the request of the Yukon government, which was concerned the company was not moving with enough urgency to remediate the site. Yukon is now paying for the remediation and cleanup effort, which is expected to cost up to $150-million. Despite the likely long road to rehabilitation, the government is optimistic that not only can the site be restored to the state it was in before the accident, but that production can restart at some point. The restart of mining, however, would likely have to occur under a new owner.
