Ready to step into another big pile of shit of their own making.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Yukon government says it’s ready to step in to “complement or supplement” Victoria Gold’s work to contain the massive slide that took place last month at the Eagle mine heap leach facility.

Speaking at a media briefing on Thursday morning, Deputy Energy, Mines and Resources Minister Lauren Haney said the company hasn’t shared much information publicly about its work to remediate and contain the spill.

The briefing comes as experts working with the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun are sounding the alarm on the level of cyanide contamination at the mine site.

“It is very unfortunate and frankly unhelpful that the company has been so silent in general and specifically around the actions that they are taking on site,” Haney said.

Last week, Victoria Gold warned it might not have the money to remediate the impacts of the heap leach failure — or even reopen.

Samples taken from Haggart Creek earlier last month showed cyanide at a rate of 0.04 milligrams per litre, which Streicker said at the time, “could affect fish.”
