The Loei Provincial Industrial Office and state agencies have expedited steps towards solving the leaked cyanide tank issue in a gold mine, as villagers of Wang Saphung district stepped up complaints over the overflow of contaminated water.
Last Monday, there were reports that a tank containing cyanide had leaked and had been moved to an assembly plant.
At the plant, located around Phu Thap Fah gold mine in tambon Khao Luang, it was placed next to 11 other tanks.
The water level of the 11 other tanks seemed to be almost full and the condition of the tanks was seen to have been so risky that the tanks might collapse, spilling contaminated water to the surrounding environment.
