TORONTO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - A First Nation group has

asked the Yukon government to initiate steps to remove the

management of Victoria Gold Corp ( VITFF ), citing failure of

the top executives to contain the environmental damage caused by

the company's Eagle Gold mine.

The mine, located in land belonging to First Nation groups

of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (FNNND), has been under the scanner since

June when the company halted operations due to a operational

failure leading to cyanide contamination at the site.

"The reality is that Victoria Gold ( VITFF ) cannot rectify the

environmental damage caused by this event," said FNNND Chief

Dawna Hope. "They have been failing to take the remediation

actions directed by the Yukon government."

Victoria Gold ( VITFF ) did not immediately respond to an email

seeking comment.
