Canada’s Yukon Territory said elevated levels of cyanide were detected in a waterway near Victoria Gold Corp.’s Eagle mine after an equipment failure and landslide at the site.

Yukon Mining Minister John Streicker told local media on Thursday that the heightened cyanide concentrations were detected in a creek near the mine site, which “could potentially affect fish.” The comments come hours after Toronto-based Victoria Gold said it hasn’t detected elevated cyanide levels downstream of its property.
