What to do with tailings?
February 2, 2022
Processing ores after mining to concentrate and extract metal values produces tailings that can represent >95% of the total ore mass. With processing and hydrometallurgical routes requiring large volumes of water, the tailings are generated as dilute slurries, which were typically kept dilute or partially thickened in a tailings storage facility.
