The Vancouver-based company suspended operations at Eagle Mine in July following a failure at its heap leach facility, where mined ore is stacked into piles and sprinkled with cyanide-laced water.
Yukon and company officials have raced to mitigate the environmental damage from the disaster. Earlier this month, Canada’s federal government ordered Victoria Gold to construct barriers to protect fish in the nearby waterways from cyanide discharge.
