Yukon's government appoints PwC as receiver for Victoria Gold's Eagle gold mine, halting operations due to heap leach failure and environmental concerns, with the government funding clean-up efforts.

Yukon's government appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as receiver to oversee Victoria Gold's Eagle gold mine, after the company's CEO was fired and operations were halted due to a heap leach failure and environmental concerns. PwC will complete clean-up efforts at the site, with the Yukon government funding the estimated $40-50m cost. The government aims to reopen the mine once environmental mitigation is complete.
