TSX-listed Midas Gold has said that it will continue to defend the lawsuit over the water quality in the Stibnite mining district, in the US, reiterating that it is not, nor has it ever been, operational on site and that it is not responsible for the existing contamination. The miner, however, has proposed that the Stibnite gold project be a means in providing the much-needed clean-up of the historical waste currently polluting the area.
