Yukon Seeks Receivership for Victoria Gold After Cyanide Spill

The government moves to appoint a receiver following environmental violations at the Eagle Gold Mine.

Victoria Gold opposes the Yukon's application for receivership.
A landslide at the Eagle Gold Mine caused cyanide contamination in a nearby creek.
The cyanide levels detected were significantly above permitted limits.
Dozens of dead fish were found downstream from the mine site.
Victoria Gold has initiated water treatment and is investigating the incident.
