Nunavut ghost mine’s insolvent owner is still responsible, AAND says
The Jericho Diamond Mine site continues to languish in legal limbo but that hasn’t stopped the Nunavut Impact Review Board from requesting that its legal owner, the apparently insolvent Shear Diamonds Corp., monitor and remedy any ongoing contamination.
But they might be flogging a dead horse.
The fate of the mothballed mine, declared by Ottawa to be “closed or abandoned” in January 2014, seems no clearer today than it was a year ago.
