WHITEHORSE, YUKON — The Yukon government says it is stepping in to build a safety berm at the site of the Eagle Gold mine disaster after the mine's owner failed to meet a deadline imposed by a mine inspector last week.

WHITEHORSE, YUKON — The Yukon government says it is stepping in to build a safety berm at the site of the Eagle Gold mine disaster after the mine's owner failed to meet a deadline imposed by a mine inspector last week.

Lauren Haney, Yukon's deputy minister of energy, mines and resources, says the mine's owner Victoria Gold was supposed to build an access road and the berm by this week, but the government has now engaged contractors to do the work. She says the government is only focused on"specific environmental protection measures," not taking over the site, and the company remains responsible for cleanup after the June 24 slide of cyanide-contaminated ore and escape of millions of litres of cyanide solution.
