Government of Yukon provides update on implementation of Independent Review Board recommendations

The Government of Yukon is improving its regulatory and enforcement oversight of mining in the territory, following the heap leach failure that occurred at the Eagle Gold Mine. All recommendations of the Independent Review Board that examined the failure of the Eagle Gold Mine are being implemented. The government is also working with industry to ensure these recommendations are incorporated into ongoing operations as part of its commitment to modernize minerals legislation and advance regulatory improvements.

Of the 56 recommendations, 52 are implemented and four are in progress. The government expects all recommendations to be completed by spring 2027.
