PwC Extends Eagle Mine Sale Timeline
PricewaterhouseCoopers, appointed receiver for Victoria Gold, reported on Nov. 20 that the Eagle mine sale process will extend into the new year after bidder timelines slipped. The receiver cited delays in providing technical materials and moved non-binding proposal deadlines, while ongoing remediation work — including heap leach stabilization and water treatment winterization — continues under an expanded $220 million borrowing agreement.
