Yukon First Nation says it wants a bigger role in mine disaster review
Yukon ’s Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation says an independent review of a disaster at the Eagle Gold mine on its territory is urgently needed but it has serious concerns the Yukon government is trying to “erase” its role in the probe.
It says an independent review board can’t get to the bottom of the disaster, calling instead for a full public inquiry. The letter to Haney on Tuesday says the mine “was a steady regulatory blight from its inception to its collapse,” detailing past cyanide spills, problems found by inspectors, landslides and water management issues.
