WHITEHORSE — The company that owns a Yukon gold mine that was the site of what the nearby First Nation has called an"environmental catastrophe" is facing a litany of legal challenges in Yukon, Ontario and British Columbia.
A statement from Victoria Gold says it has been served with an application by the territorial government seeking the receivership and"related relief" after the failure, but it makes no mention of the First Nation's application or the class-action. "Every mitigation measure must be implemented to protect the lands, waters, fish, wildlife and the people impacted by this disaster. We have no confidence that Vic Gold is in a financially stable enough position to repair the environmental damages its failures have caused."
The First Nation's petition in Yukon Supreme Court says the disaster is still unfolding and is impacting"the inherent, constitutional and treaty rights" of the First Nation.
