A First Nation group has asked the Yukon government to initiate steps to remove the management of Victoria Gold Corp, citing failure of the top executives to contain the environmental damage caused by the company’s Eagle gold mine.
The mine, located in land belonging to First Nation groups of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (FNNND), has been under the scanner since June when the company halted operations due to a operational failure leading to cyanide contamination at the site.
