Victoria Gold (VIT.v) starts construction on Yukon Mine

A Whitehorse based contractor is moving heavy equipment into Victoria Gold Corporation's Eagle Gold project to begin construction of an open pit mine. Pelly Construction is doing the primary construction.

Victora Gold had hoped to be at this point several years ago, but saw its plans delayed in 2013 when a slump in the mining industry dried up investment. BNP Paribas executed a commitment letter for the debt financing transaction. BNPP has agreed to underwrite 100 per cent of a $220-million (U.S.) senior secured project finance facility.
