Yukon Zinc

Sep 12, 2019

Yukon Zinc, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based company that owns the Wolverine Mine in the Yukon Territory, was placed in receivership on September 13 on application by the Government of Yukon, which has grown increasingly concerned about the continually deteriorating condition of the mine site, as well as the company's failure to pay approximately $25.0 million in security outstanding since May 2018. On July 31, a day before the hearing of the Government of Yukon's petition to appoint a receiver over the company, the company filed an NOI, though a limited lifting of the stay was subsequently ordered to allow the Government of Yukon to proceed with its application to appoint a receiver. On September 5, a material adverse change was reported by the company's proposal trustee after the company failed to make certain forecast post-filing payments, including $618.0 thousand on account of projected remediation costs. PwC was appointed receiver and will be running a sales process for the company's assets, including the Wolverine Mine. Alvarez & Marsal is the proposal trustee. Counsel TGF for the applicant, Fasken for the company, Dentons for the receiver and BLG for the proposal trustee.
