Norilsk Nickel, which runs the nearby Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant denied that there was a leak, or even any change in the river.

“As far as we know, the color of the river is today no different from normal,” a company source told The Siberian Times.

However, Norilsk Nickel said it would monitor the situation.

Norilsk Nickel uses pipes to pump chemical solutions and metal concentrates, Denis Koshevoi, a PhD candidate at the Vernadsky Institute for Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, told The Guardian.

“Periodically there are accidents when these pipes break and the solutions spill and get into the Daldykan ― that’s why it changes color,” Koshevoi was quoted as saying.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment of the Russian Federation said it was investigating the incident.

1. It appears it's a bit off.

The Russian bit adds that the Noril'sk plant dumps into the Kupets, a close by river. It didn't turn red. The Daldykan did.

Moreover, this reddening was noticed on July 10 of this year, before the reagents were allegedly dumped--and has run red for well over a month, longer than a simple dumping would have resulted in.

And the mystery continues, although jumping to convenient blame ... also continues.
