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. Haney says the Yukon government will make efforts to recover costs from the company, though Victoria Gold has laid off workers, decommissioned equipment and has seen its share price tank since the slide.
