Receiver planning sale of Yukon gold mine involved in contaminant release disaster
The court-appointed receiver of a Yukon gold mine that suffered a catastrophic heap-leach facility failure last year says it plans to sell the mine and will be seeking approval within the week to start the process. In its fifth receiver's report issued earlier this month, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. says it will seek court approval for a sale process for the Eagle Gold Mine near Mayo, Yukon, in a motion scheduled to be heard Wednesday in an Ontario court. Eagle Gold Mine was the site last June where a containment failure at the heap-leach facility released about two-million tonnes of cyanide-laced ore and water into the environment. PricewaterhouseCoopers was made receiver of the mine last year by an Ontario court through an application by the Yukon government. In an email, the territory's government confirms the receiver is planning to begin a sales process by July for the Eagle Gold Mine, if it were to be approved by the court. But the territory also says it is 'premature to say what the process will look like,' stating that it will likely be 'robust, transparent and fair' since it is subject to court supervision. 'The Government of Yukon is a key stakeholder as the main mining regulator and lender to the Receiver, and it will ensure that the interests of Yukoners are protected and communicated to the Receiver,' the government's statement said. 'Right now, the focus of the government and the Receiver is to address environmental remediation and site safety.' The Yukon government said earlier this month that the work is continuing at the mine site to manage additional water from the spring snowmelt, while water contaminated from the failure is being treated and discharged. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 22, 2025.

Peyton Manning shares how he's winning in Hollywood by appealing to Middle America
Peyton Manning is becoming a Hollywood star, without becoming "Hollywood." When the Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion created Omaha Productions, making shows about sports was a given. But Manning's TV company is now diversifying its slate away from the field. "I like history. I love country music. I have great appreciation for the military," Manning said in a recent interview with Business Insider. "And so we've tried to do things that at least have some sort of authentic connection to that." Manning founded his TV production firm in 2020 with former Fox Sports executive Jamie Horowitz, and it's been a hit so far. Omaha was valued at over $750 million by an investment round this spring spearheaded by former Endeavor executive Patrick Whitesell. Manning's company has also secured a first-look deal with Disney's 20th Television after creating the buzzy "ManningCast" starring Peyton and his brother Eli, as well as a slew of sports docuseries for Netflix: "Quarterback," "Receiver," and "Starting Five." Manning told BI that there's no one-size-fits-all definition of an Omaha show. But there are a few common threads: shows that are "uplifting and unifying" and related to Manning's personal interests. Omaha produced the Country Music Awards last November and has also produced series for the History Channel, like "Beyond the Battlefield" and "The Mega-Brands That Built America." Manning said Omaha tries to make its slate family-friendly. Omaha's niche: Sports, history, country music Omaha is an apt name for Manning's production company. Football fans will recognize it as a callback to the callout signal Manning often gave as the quarterback of the Denver Broncos. But although Omaha isn't necessarily a reference to the Nebraska city, the company has strong Midwest sensibilities. The topics Manning has an affinity for — sports, business, country music, history, and the military — have clear appeal in Middle America. That said, the former Colts and Broncos star has always kept his personal politics to himself, and Omaha is trying to stay far away from politics and the culture wars. Omaha is also staying away from gritty subjects like crime, even though Manning said he personally loves "The Sopranos" and "Goodfellas." (Their military-themed show was about the history of the Marines and Army and how soldiers train, not an intense wartime drama like HBO's "Band of Brothers.") The Middle America appeal aligns with Manning's roots. He grew up in Louisiana, played college football at Tennessee, and spent most of his career in Indianapolis. Omaha isn't the only TV outfit finding success in this lane. Taylor Sheridan has made a slew of popular shows, kicked off by Paramount's "Yellowstone." Amazon Prime Video has also invested heavily in so-called "dad TV" with "Reacher" and "Jack Ryan," plus faith-based shows like "House of David," based on King David in the Bible. From signal caller to shot-caller While Omaha has momentum, Manning said starting a production company came with a steep learning curve — plus inevitable incompletions when pitching to streamers and networks. "We've heard 'no' plenty," Manning said. "It doesn't mean it's not a good idea. All it takes is one to like you." Manning said he's enjoyed being a producer even more than being in front of the camera. "I'm the offensive coordinator in the press box," Manning said. "I never really had been a part of anything like that, where I didn't sort of have to play quarterback." Manning said he's looking forward to the next season of "Quarterback," which debuts on Netflix in July and features the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, the Detroit Lions' Jared Goff, and the Atlanta Falcons' Kirk Cousins. Manning noted that the first-look deal with 20th Television won't impact preexisting deals with streamers like Netflix. The Omaha project that Manning is anticipating the most is "Chad Powers," a coming Hulu show that stars Glen Powell as a former standout quarterback who tries to resurrect his career by going undercover as a walk-on. The idea for the show came from an Omaha Productions sketch that Eli Manning did back in 2022. "Eli's in a horrible wig, he's got a horrible accent, he talks about being homeschooled and coached by his mom, he has these little catchphrases," Manning said. "And next thing you know, maybe one of the biggest movie stars in the world is doing a show about that." The Apple TV+ show "Ted Lasso" also began as a skit and became a smash hit. Manning hopes "Chad Powers" follows suit.

49ers George Kittle and Wife Celebrate $76.4 Million Contract Move
One of the things that the San Francisco 49ers went into this offseason knowing they needed to do was extend their superstar tight end. And on Tuesday, they did exactly that. George Kittle is a fan-favorite in San Francisco, and now he will be seating with the team through 2029, as he signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with the Niners. Advertisement To celebrate, Kittle's wife, Claire, took to social media to congratulate her husband on the achievement of becoming the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. "Beyond proud of you @gkittle," Claire wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a few photos of the two of them. "You've manifested this." Claire has always been Kittle's No. 1 supporter, and that was shown in the Netflix series "Receiver", which gave fans a but of a look behind the scenes of the superstar tight end's day-to-day life. Kittle is one of the best players in the history of the franchise, and is close to moving up in the record books in 2025. He is third all-time in receiving yards in Niners' history, and is 1,192 yards behind Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens. Advertisement While it is unlikely Kittle will climb to No. 1, as that spot belongs to Jerry Rice, he can get as high as he possibly can until his contract expires in 2029. It is then likely that he will retire, and he will end his career as one of the best players in the history of one of the NFL's most storied franchises.
