MAYO, YUKON — Contaminated water that overflowed in a landslide and equipment failure at a Yukon gold mine is being pumped into storage ponds, while the investigation continues into what went wrong, the territory's Department of Energy, Mines and Resources said.
Heap leaching uses chemicals to percolate through crushed ore, allowing it to extract gold, and the company's website says the Eagle Mine uses a cyanide solution in the process. “It’s too early to speak to the cause of the heap leach failure. What’s clear at this point is that the failure involved a slide of the ore stacked in the heap leach facility," he said.
Streicker said his ministry continues to operate long-term water quality monitoring stations upstream and downstream of the mine.The First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun, whose traditional territory includes the mine site about 500 kilometres north of Whitehorse, has said it's concerned about"potentially significant and far-reaching environmental impacts" on water, fish and wildlife.
