VANCOUVER - The receiver of a defunct Yukon gold mine that suffered a catastrophic storage site failure in 2024 is suing a Vancouver mining engineering company for its alleged role in the disaster.

PricewaterhouseCoopers says in a civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court on June 19 that JDS Energy and Mining Inc. provided construction and engineering services to the mine for years, and allegedly made “critical errors” in the lead up to the failure.
