First Nation Criticizes Yukon Government Over Gold Mine Sale Process
The First Nation of Nacho Nyäk Dun has expressed neutrality regarding the potential sale of the Eagle gold mine to Boroo Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based company. However, the First Nation has criticized the Yukon government's handling of the sale process, particularly the exclusive negotiation rights granted to Boroo. The Eagle gold mine, which was closed due to environmental issues, is currently managed by PricewaterhouseCoopers as a receiver. The Yukon government, which took ownership after the previous owner went bankrupt, is seeking to recover costs associated with the mine's cleanup. The First Nation insists that any decisions regarding the mine's future must involve their consent and collaboration.
